Splendor On the Beach

We meditated on the beach a little after sunrise dawn poured gold over the ancient pages of the Bhagavad Gita As David read from that sacred text seagulls paused mid-air and sand pipers stood transfixed pearls spilled from his lips the very ocean blue lips of Lord Krishna “Realize that which pervades the universe and is indestructible; no power can affect this unchanging, imperishable reality” “The body is mortal, but He who dwells in the body is said to be immortal and immeasurable” ~ Bhagavad Gita I too listened enrapt, eager to learn more the Sea rushed anxiously towards us lapping at our feet its pounding surf resembling the mighty five horse drawn Chariot of Sri Vasudevaya Just then... Krishna Janardhana blew His conch rays of the morning sun ignite a brilliant halo crowning His head “This infinite joy of union with the Lord is easily attained by those who are free from the burden of self-will and established within themselves.” ~Bhagavad Gita
