Mayapura,

Sleeping Well
Drilling
and tapping goes on throughout the day. It is not an agitating sound. I would
rather that, than someone leading a chant off-key.
The
noise mentioned was music to our Guru’s ears. Srila Prabhupada loved the sound
of construction, and when you roam around anywhere near the centre or hub of
activities in Mayapura, you can know that work is going on with the Temple of
the Vedic Planetarium. Work is going on progressively and on the 7th
of February, a chakra (divine wheel of
Vishnu) will be installed on the top of the dome.
“Don’t
do anything else!” warned one of the organizers of this year’s festival. “It’s
also Prayer Day!”
“Well,
I can drink (tree sap) to that,” I said. “Prayer is one of the nine devotions,
as it is listed by the saint, Prahlad.”
We
(the drama troop and I) drank some nice tea after we drank in the name of
Krishna in another one of those twenty-four hour kirtanas. Sponsored by the SMIS school, people turned up for the
event. Our time slot was particularly lively. Of course, we had the artists
with us. They are a lively bunch and are doing well with practices on the
production “Many Mothers Many Fathers”. I feel blessed spending the six hours
with them everyday. The story is unfolding so well. The main subject or
character, Citraketu, is developing nicely. The script is set but the
characterization by actor Gaura as well as the other characters are shaping up
to be very real. https://instagram.com/p/BewGXw9FA21/
