I must say that quote that my guru Maharaj had on his blog post "You need some inspiration, go for a walk" really hit the nail on the head for me. I went on TWO japa walks today.
I walked up with Mandakini to her house and then I walked back which was quite a bit of a distance but I enjoyed it anyway. Then I made that stop at the palace of gold and walked aroudn there and back to the temple again. It was a good day to be outside. Guests were around visiting and also out and about walking around.
Then I took an evening japa walk after I finished serving Tulasi. The evening was very beautiful. The sun setting was pretty. I liked seeing the sunlight through the trees as it was setting. I finished the last of my rounds i only had about two.
As I walked around the pond in the evening there were still many guests around. And then toward the end of my walk I noticed all the animals were coming out. Maybe I should take my walks in the evening because I could see some wildlife around. I saw the peacocks. There were three peacocks who had all their feathers up which was very pretty. The female peacocks were waddling around too. Then I saw some Canadian Geese, and regular ducks, and I saw two deer past the peacock cage by the cabins from a distance. And then on my last time around I stood to watch the swans again. They were primming themselves and then the mother swan led the way into the pond with their four baby swans following in single file behind their mother and the father brought up the rear. It was so cute to see them in a single file line with the parents carefully guarding their childeren. Nice to see a family spending quality time together. Something I never really had as a child with my own parents since they had divorced. So I do admire these swans as the perfect family.
