Poem for Jun 04



Personal Stanza


Yesterday we received a visit
from Rama Raya and Madhumangala,
whom I consider to be advanced devotees
and affectionate friends.
Baladeva had cooked the Indian set:
spinach with curd, rice, dhal and puris.
Everyone ate to his full satisfaction,
especially Rama Raya, who ate many puris.
Rama Raya had short speeches on his iPad
of Indrayumna Swami, Sacinandana Swami
and BB Govinda Maharaj, praising
the harinama in Union Square.
Madhumangala is a newly-wed. He
phones his wife, who lives in India,
every day. He is raising money to
build a house in Vrindavana. He
is a disciple of Narayana Maharaj,
but is very attached to Rama Raya
and the New York City harinama.
