TRANSLATION

Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannatha makes a loud concert with His flute in the groves on the banks of the Yamuna. He is like a bumblebee tasting the beautiful lotuslike faces of the cowherd damsels of Vraja, and great personalities such as Lakshmi, Siva, Brahma, Indra, and Ganesa worship His lotus feet. May that Jagannatha Svami be the object of my vision.

JOURNAL:

I dreamed of the devotees last night. In my dream I was in Eugene, OR. although it didn't look like that city at all. I had to catch a flight so that I could go to a temple and spend some time with the devotees. I ran around the city on foot trying to find the airport but couldn't. Soon I realized that I had missed the flight. I went to a coffee shop but they were holding auditions for dancers. Two girls and a guy striped in front of me and I left. I was disappointed but on my way back to my room I went through a kind of outdoor market and who should be there but about fifty devotees sitting on bleachers and arranged like a choir. The colors of their robes flowed in sections from white to yellow to saffron.

I listened to their show for awhile feeling very happy before waking up.
