What I saw on my way to Radha Kund
There is an old children's book by Dr. Seuss, To think that I saw it on Mulberry Street , where a child imagines fabulous events on the quiet neighborhood street he has to follow to go to school. I wasn't making anything up, but it seemed that there were bands and parades, camel-drawn carts and tractors pulling trailers full of Brijbasis and all manner of things that would be strange if one was not from here. But ever since I got back from Bengal I have been in a kind of limbo in the Jiva Institute, living in Braj but almost not here at all, in a strange paradoxical way. So this was really the first time out of the confines of Jiva since I got here more than a month ago. I didn't take any pictures. I was trying to take brain pictures. On Dwadashi I went to Radha Kund I saw a crowded street of people flowing in both directions and a constant stream of vehicles the mood was joyous. The month is Karttik. There are Radhe Shyam songs in the air from morning to night...
