Poem for Jun 26



Personal Stanza


The trains were all filled up, so
Kaliya Damana had to drive
Rama Raya to Albany to catch
a bus to New York City so that
Rama could return to his service.
Since he was in Albany, Kaliya
did shopping. He was lucky to get
the last box of the season of
good mangos from the Indian store.
There will be no more after this.

Baladeva from Trinidad returned
from Philadelphia. I talked with Haryasva
on the phone and reprimanded him
for keeping Baladeva so long in Philadelphia.
Baladeva had told me Haryasva said,
“I want to keep you in Philadelphia.”
Haryasva denied this, and said
what he actually wanted was to bring
Baladeva Vidyabhusana to Philadelphia.
Haryasva gets lonely for godbrother
association and feels loving separation.
We are looking forward to his coming
to the disciples’ meeting the day before July 1.
Baladeva from Trinidad has predicted
full attendance at the festival.
I hope he is right.
