Mayapura, India
Dark Heart
Rains persist, but there are plentiful dry hours in between wet sessions. A major shower hit us in the late afternoon once again. This forces pilgrims to execute their devotions behind shut doors. That's called ‘adjusting’. When rain comes down as it has, with a force, it leaves the soil surface porous. The dust is pounded down exposing tiny and large stones. The soles of the feet can feel it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuanAKiAjVt/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=13skwb4uztls6
Pilgrims are also pouring in, many in anticipation of the coming rite called Maha-abishek, a ceremonious bathing of the five deities known as the Panca-tattva, five truths. I'm habituated to attending the first devotion of the day in the samadhi, where it is more solemn and airy. I'm referring to the larger temple of Radha Madhava, when I say the sweat lodge. Here in Mayapura, we have our own little world.
I'm sorry to hear about the unrest between India and Pakistan. Are radicalized religionists at it again? Contemptuous feelings and behaviour is to the detriment of all. May peace prevail. However, for now, let there be damage control.
Yes, there is always a disturbance in the world. This is the main feature, uninvited.
At announcement time, the devotee delivering the morning messages expressed over the mic, "Pick-pockets are available." He implied that they do come around, and they do like pilgrims' goods. We can easily say that opportunists like these are also another feature of Kali-yuga. One of our songs in the drama, "The Queen’s Secret," opens with a vocalization of, "Dark Heart," during the victimization of Princess Draupadi. The music is appropriate.
May the Source be with you!
