In Pursuit of the Best




Two weeks ago we celebrated the much anticipated samadhi completion ceremony for His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Maharaja. It is an amazing phenomena to watch the devotees descend on the dhama for a festival. Overnight, hundreds of devotees arrive in their best, with their best, to see their best, and strive to be their best.

The best surprise of my weekend was a visit from Nichole, visiting from the 505. I was elated. By the mercy of H.H. Jaya Pattaca Swami, we were offered the service of collecting cow urine in the morning for his daily medicinal dose. So sure enough, after morning program we set out. Sunrise at Gita Nagari is intoxicating. It is the perfect conclusion after late night light shows given by the local lightning bugs who flock by the millions.
