What Timing!

Yesterday I had told Nitya Mukta that there were two flowering trees by the palace of gold that had purplish pink flowers on the trees, that I saw on my way back to the temple from Mandakinin's house. I didn't have a bag with me at the time yesterday to pick them. So I had told her I'd pick them today.

Getting these types of flowers were not easy. I had to go into the tiny gulley in the woods just to get to them. There were broken branches on the ground an also thick green plants around them. I don't think they were poison ivy because they only had two leaves on each side not three like poison ivy does. I actually had to try to bend the branches of the tree as far down as I could to reach the ones at the top. Seems like the ones on the top are always the best looking ones. Probably because they are getting the most sunlight which is what plants like...sunlight. I did manage to fill up my bag with the flowers. We'll see how the Deities look tomorrow with those flowers on Them.

And the funny thing of it was just as I got back Nitya Mukta was just about to go out herself to pick these same flowers, but I had saved her to the trouble to go through that. I didn't mind picking those flowers despite the difficulty to get them for the Deities. I just hope Sri Sri Radha Vrndavan Chandra will be pleased with the flowers on Them tomorrow. All I can say is what timing when I got back to the temple because I was able to give them to Nitya Mukta for her to make garlands with right away so she didn't have to wait or go out herself.
