Purushottam2010-darshan

This year Purushottam has come in Vaishakh. Thank Krishna it is the first Vaishakh - so the mercury has yet to reach its boiling point. Now, how do Their Lordships dress in this hot summer ? Needless to say, cotton is the frist choice. The finer and smoother the fabric the better. Devotees often ask - "But.... didi, how will our Beloveds look in cotton? How can They look attractive ? cotton is so dull !! " NO, my dears, cotton can look splendid, provided you use the classy touch. Piya-Piyatamji are naturally manohar, so they'll look seductive, and more smart in cotton. Just see !!

    • The beads are multi-colored and so are the clips in his dense black smooth and glossy hair. His jewellery and hair-do complement each other.

    Sunday-feast darshan

    • Darshan on the first Sunday of Purushottam. Since it is a feast-day, the Vaishnavs instructed me to let go my superstitions (“Oh didi, we are here. We’ll see that no one puts nazar on your Beloveds.” So that settled it.) As a result, now they wear any nice dress on Sundays, in stead of the reddish-orangish hue meant to propitiate the Sun-god.

    • Here you can see the matching yellow bows – both on his pagdi, and around his waist. They bring out his flamboyant nature amidst his otherwise seemingly ‘gentleman’ looks. The periwinkle at his lotus feet

  • Tuesday - red day

    Tuesday - red day

    • Naah !! This vivid and gorgeous red on Tuesday can’t be cotton !! Oh yeah ?? Sweeties , this is the great Bangalore cotton, with intricate weaving on gold thread. It looks splendid, yet has all the cooling effects of cotton. Zari is to be avoided in summer, however i thought just a little zari only on the border wouldn’t harm.

    White crysanthemums hiding Jugal sarkar

    • Tuesday or Mangalvaar is Mars day. We, the sakhis (and also Ma Yashoda) make our Beloveds wear red to propitiate the planet Mars – so that his red eyes will not fall on our Piya-Pitamjiu. We don’t want Mangal to cast nazar on Them, you see ? surrounded with white white nocturnal chrysanthemums, replete with serene fragrance, they look sweet, don’t They ?

  • See the flute

    See the flute

    • Ya, ya, that flute looks less like a bansee, and more like a baans (bamboo). But then, Neelu loves Bhaisaab as much as he loves Neelu. So when Baisaab got this flute with jhoom-jhoomis (tinkling bells) and also sporting a real peacock-feather, Neelu grabbed it.
