Dear friends,
May I share story with pictures from Sunday 11th
Sept.
It was a flow of interesting happenings for me...
(not much philosophy and 'wisdom'.. but more what
you call 'real' life....
 )
I didn't have any plans when I woke up.
One friend phoned and asked me if I want to come
with them to Hare Krishna Temple.
It will be feast today - Radha's birthday.
I accepted invitation.It was nice day.

This friend has the car but not driving license.
We asked my friend Tommy if he want to drive
us..there..
Tommy has driving license but not the car
(sometimes God makes strange arrangements..
 ),
He accepted but I knew he will not visit the temple..
(although 20 years ago he was cooking in the same
temple for deities,and selling books on the streets..)
Soon we all (ex-devotees) were on the way to Hare
Krishna Temple.
But near Anthroposophical agriculture school
Skillebyholm suddenly we noticed lot of cars on big nice green bio-dynamic
(grown without chemicals!) grass.(I felt sorry for grass)
It was Autumn Market at Skillebyholm..we entered to
see how it is..
(Tommy was more easy on such a place)..
(When I think now afterward it reminds me little on
our (n0by) group..
)
Take a look..(invitation to yahoo-photo-album will
follow).

Some people were selling products which are result
of cooperation with God(Nature)-vegetables,food..
Some others were re-selling
somebodies else products,wool-socks,things bought in India or Africa..
But smith (art in Iron and cooper) was
most original,creative..
giving forms to the iron using the fire and hammer..
his daughter was there like a tender flower..
You will see one little boy Paul who nicely painted
his face ..
maybe to get attention..
and this brown girl walking balanced on high sticks ..
Children were happy to create beautiful
soup-bubbles which lasts just for the moment..
others enjoyed to ride on a horse or on the chariot
with horse like in old times..

Mr.Nigel was there with his Flow forms and
Water-fountain ,if you remember from before..
He and his colleges are uniting stone and water in
beautiful forms and water flow..
some people enjoyed food from real natural products
in greenhouse 'restaurants' sitting on the straw 'benches',
some other were sitting outside on the grass...or
just under the tree..
It was little strange to see one former member of
Hare Krishna re-selling wooll- socks.He has now long hair and don't want
to hear/talk anymore about philosophy of Hare Krishna.He is from
Germany.But we meet with joy and laughter.With him was his daughter but
not wife..Holy fire of marriage was not enough strong to keep them
together forever..
Some other member, women still in HK Movement was
selling products from India..
Unfortunately Market was on the same day like
Radharani's birthday
but..money was priority....times have changed..
After some time...we continued to Hare Krishna
temple to reach on time for feast..

Tommy wanted to stay alone in silence of nature and lake
nearby temple..
I was somehow sad that he cannot feel free of the
past..
like I could..or maybe me too was not free.
 .because
I like to come for the feasts.
anyway, I took nice prasadam (food which was offered
to deities) and bring it to Tommy on parking place where he enjoyed it
alone.
One big enthusiastic German 'devotee' served me .
He said smilingly:"It should be always enough
prasadam to everybody.."
Yesterday came one group German sankirtan devotees (those
who are selling books on the streets) (from Bavaria)...they came to see
where is book-production...and of course take books for selling..).
There was not so much guests as before..
One guest got garland.He reminded me on Beatles's
style with his long hair.

Men were sitting on one side and women with children
on the other side..
It was nice food and there was Radharani's favorite
plum-chutney,..(they say she like it..)
I can tell you ..nobody makes so good cakes as hare
Krishna members.. without eggs!
I went to see Radha in the temple.
She and Krishna were dressed in fresh flowers.
(I couldn't make more sharp picture..
)
This was also a kind of creativity .. person who did
it.
It was Beauty in front of my eyes ..
Doesn't matter what kind of illusion it may be..it
was for me beautiful...
After feast we went back to Järna but another way
not high-way from Stockholm.
We took ferry-boat (very short.).and through
beautiful green and golden autumn fields of Swedish countryside.
This was for me again pending like a tourist in one
day between 2 different parts of the same Maya-world..
welcome and enjoy!
love
zora
