When I went to the palace of gold yesterday. I wanted to find some more devtional music to listen to since I really don't have any. I had found something by Srila Prabhupada that had different melodies of him chanting the maha mantra in a bhajan and kirtans which was something that I was looking for. I was also trying to look for Aarti songs too to listen to as well and I did find one Aarti songs CD it was by Lokanath Swami.
But anyways I think i sort of got hooked on to Srila Prabhupada's CD with the different melodies on it. I like track number 5 as it does have a nice tune and beat to it.It gets pretty ecstatic towards the end. And here I am still listening to that same track on the CD. This is one thing about me, I like to listen to music when Im doing something. If I don't I don't get motivated or inspired to do it. And I can't think of a better way than to listen to Srila Prabhupada's kirtan. It will keep me occupied until I make recordings of my own guru Maharaj's kirtans. I know my guru Maharaj's kirtans can get pretty wild! Just like that Saturday night when he led that kirtan. I was like HOLY SMOKES! I never been to a kirtan THAT ecstatic before in my life. I hope I see him lead another one like that. I go crazy over those kirtans because it makes me feel like Im at a concert or something. :D Only it's a devotional concert lol.
Yeah I do like this CD I got. I had gotten rid of most of my karmi CDs I kept some of George's of course but the rest I gave up including Beatles ones. I have to get some more devotional ones. Once I get an Ipod I can download some devotional songs when i get to Toronto because they have a better internet connection there for me to do that. I can download some Srila Prabhupada lecturs or kirtans and bhajans and other stuff too. Im going to try and redownload the 24 hour kirtan too because i really like that. Unfortunately I will not be here in New Vrndavan for the 24 hour kirtan this year as I will more than likely be in Toronto by then hopefully.
Many thanks to Srila Prabhupada for getting us hooked on kirtans. That was one thing that kept me attracted to the movement was the kirtans because Im so picky about music and well might as well be hooked onto Krishna music! :)

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.
