Virabhadra hari kirtan personifed, son of Nityananda avadhuta
And mrdanga drummers playing in the sankirtan
His highest representative, like an angel, also appeared that ninth day of the waning moon of Kartik to deliver all the lands
This outfit was offered in celebration of that day
Oh if the seamstress heard this explanation perhaps she'd give jaya and follow the angels too.
But alas it's too much so keep it quiet
And just take darsana of the green and yellow with the rose and suamanas petal leis with whole roses in for fun
At this wonderful darasana our mundane attachements go on the run.
All at once the pedalers screamed “come out and pedal with us”. So I darted out from the asrama past the apple farm I discovered the hidden valley and then offered respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa. To the main road and crossing the bridge over the first highway a true roadie appears on the opposite side. How do you tell a 'true roadie?' you may well ask? Well they don't return a nod or a wave for they are in serious contemplation of their heart rate, the number of grams their pedals weigh and which way the wind is blowing. Around the curve to the tennis park and beyond the harbor is on the left as I pass on to natasala. The gecko meets me there. He isn't counting heartbeats or anything, he just wants someone to pedal with. Around to the cruiser king and through the triangle past the house that taught choc-o-lot to talk-a-lot. The house is closed on Sunday so we go on down the redone road. Many people on the beach with tents to keep out of the chilly breeze the toffee nose takes his green flag and throws it at me. I don't know who taught you that you can start sentences with 'around' or 'many' and not draw my wrath but bring them before me and I'll bind them by the hands and feet and make them fall down before the goddess of proper English. The wharf road takes me on to the long and winding one where I offer respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa once more. The gecko takes leave and returns to his shop and I to the sandhya. A special celebration tonight to honor the memory of a dear departed soul.
“If you can chant the Hare Krsna mantra purely then you must know you are touching Krsna with your tongue. In that way you can get the same benefit as Prahald Maharaja” SP once told his devotees that. This dress, offered on Nrsmha caturdasi, got the name “the touch that kills” because it seeing Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari in this cream and red combination will kill the demoniac mentality.
