I painted in the basement.
I wrote the words:
“May we chant Hare Krsna?”
and below that the words:
“Yes, constantly!”
I put faces below the words.
They were all awkward, ugly heads:
a cross-eyed woman,
a man with petals on his head
and a washboard top of head;
a man with two heads,
and a menacing man with pointed teeth.
I made them as unfavorable as possible,
but indicated that anyone is eligible
and is advised to chant the holy names constantly.
This was unlike my previous two paintings
in which I implied that the ugly heads
were not qualified to be initiated
or to sit on the Ratha cart.
