Uttana ekadasi yes that's right
Uttana ekadasi time to see the light
Gurudeva adjust my consciousness to see
Divine connection even here on earth
By his invitation Krsna has appeared on earth
Wearing his star studded cape
Mahaprabhu comes to teach us what this life is worth
Holding devotional ecstasy above our heads so high.
Uttana ekadasi yes that's right
Uttana ekadasi time to see the light
I take off alone today and bow my head to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa on to the main road all the way to the hospital curve. The gecko is waiting at the rodeo creek. We take the right and pass the tennis park on our way to the lakes. We pass between them and on to the road of honky-tonks and bars to the opal cliffs. We go on to the soccer pitch and the toad road. The gecko and I pass through some fixed gear freaks. There are so many of them there's a rally going on. We weave in and out of the back of the pack and then we come to the toad road. We hammer all the way to the tennis park street. At the natasala people are sweeping the lobby. Down the hill to Saint Dagwood's park where we meet with the trader and go around the bend where a street performer looks to us and we say “All we can offer is 'God bless you'” he smiles and we spin on. The gecko takes his leave at the shop. I go into a sprint to the peddler's ramp and say “hey” to the bear. On to the wharf road and then the long and winding where I fold my palms to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa. The kalarupa and I race up to the sandhya who greets us and thanks us for coming in the light.
In the ninth the nightdress is red and navy blue and Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari are ready to make a break for dancing under the waning moon.
