Traveling on airplanes, boats, tata sumo Sue Nila Vasana came for Radhastami
In Vrndavana dhama cowherd boys and girls celebrate Radhastami
Singing and dancing seeing the new dress Sue Nila Vasana
Many days coming for darsana brings memory of Sue Nila Vasana
Praying that pictures of this celebration appear in my head
Causing a river of nectar to descend visualizing Sue Nila Vasana
Quoting slokas in praise of Srimati Gandharvika's qualities
being seen by her dressed in Sue Nila Vasana
Gurudeva makes me a divine slave, knowing where my mind has been
Time to rise in the wee hours see the chic leis of petals and roses
beautified by being on Sue Nila Vasana
pedaling along the highway over the main street. The friends there ready to talk a lot. Soon though Murka and I have to get on with the afternoon. Around the navapatra and the point of the hook. The geese are between the lakes flapping their wings and sounding off. I take leave at the shop and Murka goes around the trader's back to the reviewing stand and the cruiser king pedals along at least to the wharf road. There he takes leave and Murka goes on under the first highway to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa who sees the folded palms of Murka taking off with the kalaurpa to the sandhya.
OPT helps them into their Marakata Mani puri riding on a horse of a different color talking like a pirate. Emerald and hot pink also from Radhastami when that day coincided with talk like a pirate day. Shiver me timbers!
Sri Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari look so sweet
flowers and Tulasi leaves at their feet
madhyakalia is coming and worship will be long
take a peek at the new cloth selection
get ready to bow before the thakuras
down on our knees to pray aruna har posse rides again
brushing a line of ants to the side
but we want them to stay alive
taking pictures of the thakuras smiling wide
keeping their forms in mind will make every one wise
offering the new leis
fresh for the new day
symmetry is beauty in it's most pure way
going to the shopping precinct to keep finger prints off the lenses a pedaler that usually crosses in the opposite direction is traveling in the same way but Murka and I fly by like nothing. Fixed gear folks in college get-ups while e-pedalers are feeling smug going up hill until Murka and I pass on the left just before the crest like they aren't even there. Turning at the shop I take leave and Murka sneaks through the treacherous triangle on the way to see the bear and the navapatra the pitch is on the right and the wharf road takes him left where a beast nearly eats him alive but the main street comes along to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa where the kalarupa is waiting. A beast goes by and shouts get a life (or was that light?)
Nails aren't a weapon and don't break Hiranya Kasipu benediction. Lotus nails that can look orange from stage right and green at stage left Still they rip the chest of Hiranyakasipu. A quick night the Thakuras are tired after a busy day with a crown fight and other mischievous actions
