1994-05-14 - Saturday - driving to Brindavan and Trayee

on

Started at 6:30 am or so after 4:45 bath, quite heavy breakfast of bread-upma dal. Drove till near Bangalore. Then Achan (Father) took over, saying he would be faster - it was already 3 pm. It was 4:45 when we reached. Stomach upset? No Dasaprakasa (stop at Mysore) - curd rice from home on the way instead. When I was doing 70 in the straights, Mysore-Bangalore, Achan was tense. So, finally he took over, I sat in the back to avoid Achan's tense city driving, also (I didn't tell anyone) headache. The Railway gate was closed, so walked across. Bhajans just over. Got car, got suitcase, all in due time. I was still in colours. Hostel was deserted. Sat down to read, thought it might be better to put on whites and try to go to Trayee. 

Boys were speaking, darshan thru door. You spoke, finally. About straight sapling - Sindhu raja's son Saindhava bad as a boy, so finally padmavyooha - Bhima and Yudhishthira stopped by Saindhava (Dussala's husband), killed by Arjuna "before sundown". Viswamitra from Kausika, as gave Gayatri to the world. Story of Rama's uprightness at Sita kalyanam. Ravanasura there, too. Jealous Dhritarashtra got own daughter widowed.
