Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Jaya Guru Datta  Fragrant gardenias and roses are on the padukas of Sri Swamiji. I am happy to enjoy the fragrance as I put my face close to His feet to offer prostrations. I wondered if He is able to enjoy the fragrance also.  Then the picture came to mind of a favorite and well known depiction of Baby Krishna lying on the banyan leaf, holding his foot and putting it in his mouth. I thought, “Oh that is how he does it, when he wishes to enjoy the fragrance of his own sweet feetâ€. Thank you, Baby Datta.  It is said that when a child does that, the circle that forms indicates the endless cycle of Creation, and the nature of Parabrahman which has no beginning or end. Swamiji’s favorite snack I was told, is Kodu Bele or Chegodee that has the shape of a ring.  Sri Guru Datta  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
