Last weekend, I went to the NYC Burning Man Decompression Festival. Despite the frigid weather, Krishna Camp was there and
holdin' strong, distributing hot plates of
kicheree and an array of spiritual refreshments. Devotees from
Alachua, DC, and Chicago showed up just for the festivities. The
high lite of the party was the
rockin'
kirtan session, somewhere around midnight would be my best guess.
My
artistic contribution was a series of "talking" collages, put together using a handful of newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets, along with a stack of reclaimed cardboard boxes.
This art project consumed my entire last week in DC and became my constant meditation. All of the pieces were interactive, featuring such personalities as Run
DMC, Rick James,
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Statue of Liberty, the Pope, A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada,
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a handful of Burmese Buddhist monks, and several cows.
For a couple hours, I sat in the entrance way of the Queens Museum of Art where the indoor portion of the event was held, and laid out 20 collages for people to play with. Tons of folks came over and participated. No doubt, the art bundles were a hit.
As you can see,
nothin' but good company and great conversation. If you would like to have your very own "talking" collage in your home, let me know and I'll see what I can do. For more photos of the festival, check out the Krishna Camp
website (soon to be posted!). Thanks to all the devotees for another awesome adventure in the transcendental journey back home to Godhead. Till the next one...

Haribol Alysia! I love your blog - there were too many great posts for me to comment on but i just wanted to say haribol and hope you're doing wonderfully in India - from what you write it sounds like you are taking bhakti sastri. It was so nice to spend some time with you a little this summer as you toured with mother malati...hari hari!
