asa[e] - moon beams from a larger lunacy.
monkey sat with a bespectacled rat and sold sweet-potato pood-ding.
it had been cook-ed for the Lord, and left your ears with ring-ing.
wonder fed, sweet-potato pud-ding: Sweet potatoes steamed/baked in wonder water from the celestial forests of South Dvaraka.
who knows what herbs lurk within those currents!
the ASA Traveling Sankirtan party had been lost on the woods for five days now and had realized that Southern Dvaraka was connected by a wide isthmus to the backend of Sri Vrndavana dhama and they were lost and had consulted with various local wood gleaners they met as they moved along the barely tenable forest paths.
none of the gleaners knew the way to Dvaraka city, but some of them had some recollection that they had heard about it.
Speaking Spoken, a principal military bear, had commented that seemed to be moving in a generally Northern direction, as much as one could tell from the light of the Sun filtering through the forest canopy.
so, they weren't too lost, and the grub they scavenged with what they had in their sacks was delicious and nutritious, and ... there were occasional tussles with local forest animals over hunting rights etc which seemed to please everyone.
every evening make camp and sing gaura arati. and huddle under the swiftly constructed leaf bivouac shelters. good rest with rotating watches and continuous Hari Kirtan.
it wasn't that they were completely lost, and were keeping practical relative maps of what they were sighting in terms of forest dwelling indigenous populations, natural flora and fauna, geographic results, and only needed one common link between local culture and metropolitan Dvaraka to integrated all their discoveries.
of course, one survey that would lead to a report was the normal ever increasing new shapes, textures, purposes and colors of local flowers.
with the local bartering goods that monkey and rat got, they were capable of trading for many local artefacts and basic necessities like salt and comestible oil.
did not local birds and beast and villagers like Hari Kirtan? Descriptions of Lord Dvarkadis? Many liked hearing about the Capitol and thought that some day they would like to go for a visit there with their family members some day.
then one day they came out of the clearing and saw it!!
