Mayapur, India
It Starts With Red
When the sun rises in Mayapur, it shows up
in the direction of the Jalangi River.
It appears beautifully. A perfect
circle, red, hot. To me it foretells the
weather condition. It’s now warming up
and when that warmth passes through the Ganges dampness, you get humidity.
I really can’t complain. The steamy days start to set in next
month. Enjoy what you have and tolerate
the oncoming mosquito wave. Know when to
be out, when to open and close doors.
Slide open the window with the screen.
My morning session of meetings with the monks
was all to do with conducting more efficiently run meetings. A committee was formed for that. Thank you God!
There is, however, room for kirtan (chanting), and sravanam (listening) of a great class by
Japanese/Canadian born Banu Swami, and releasing tension through dance in the
green ritual called Tulasi Puja. Walking is still kept to a minimum, but at
the rate the gout is going, I should be able to increase the amount of
stepping...soon.
And for the final lines in our script of
“Mr. Puri,” here goes.
“I’m getting old now and I don’t need to
hear any nonsense from anyone. I just
want to be close to my Lord, who is always youthful and always loving. I’m gathering my life’s possessions,
including what’s left of the pot of kheer. And I will just keep walking on the trail.”
May the Source be with you!
