"simha vilocana", the glance of a lion,
within that glance disciples found the sign
of guidance and if their service was pleasing
what Srila Guru Maharaja, the guardian, was seeing
defined the topmost glory
"I was born at midnight" he begins his story
brilliant as the sun
even from the time his life begun
today's outfit offered for his worship gently flutters
pink-purple along with the shade of melted butter
full rose leis
for this most blessed day
cycling between the drops
a bit of hydroplaning when they stop
sufferers out to challenge the rain
not going to stop they make it plain
by the cove and harbor too
round the corner the treacherous triangle comes into view
over road one
now the return has begun
respecting ratha-bhojana-vrksa with a bow
ceremony of the bells starting now
Mahamuni says as he welcomes us back
cb lights the last stick of incense in the pack
the nightdress in synchronicity
mango, yellow and blue reminds it's ekadasi
in the brahma muhurta they appear
make their service what we hold most dear
on the first ekadasi
traditional colors of mango,yellow and blue to see
make sure srimati gandharvika's sari doesn't tumble or rise
seamstress cautioned me
more roses punctuated with surya puspa in the leis
bouncing as they dance today
cycle babble and i are out for a ride
trying to capture the devotional spirit inside
shorts so trouser cuffs won't break our stride
the wrench cautioned me
who takes good care of your bicycle
has rescued you from many a pickle
shoppers at their corner are looking across at me
hammering through the treacherous triangle then look and see
the famous house where choc-o-lot learns to talk
as fast as we can past the place of the doc
ratha-bhojana-vrksa gets a bow
gazing on the long horn ranch's cows
the kernel of divine love greets us at last
got to get inside fast
ceremony of the bells begins
darsana of udita tapana once again
nightdress fit for dancing deep within
the far off jungle of everyone's heart
waiting now for mangle arati to start
find a way to make Srimati Gandharvika's skirt a little longer
but don't make the color any stronger
an extra ruffle will do the trick
some blue stars can make it quick
leis of sweet williams, surya puspa and petals of roses
their fragrance taking seat in every nose
cycling in the afternoon
now that the sun has returned
go out and catch it
past the cove through the harbor you won't regret it
turning back in the park
got to be quick to beat the dark
respect ratha-bhojana-vfksa once again
coming to the ashram mi ray lets us in
in time for the ceremony of the bells to begin
after that gold and yellow
assisted by the mellow fellow
they relax ready for the night
soon as murka turns out the light
