Spiritual Treasure Hunt (8:30 -10:00)

Lots of monkeys and they are thieves!

Prashad

And more prashad.  

More garlands

Amazing amounts of prashad and garlands offered at the temples.  Big business so to speak.  The smell of the fresh fragrant flowers is a welcome relief from the open troughs of runoff/sewage running by.  Sampling specific edibles from a city is fun.  Water buffalo yogurt at the Tajmahal.  Thick creme in Vrindavan.  We are on a short timeline (24 hours), so we have been enlisting the help of rickshaw drivers.  They are remarkable with their abilities to navigate the narrow passages.  The goal is to visit 10 or more temples this morning.  It is like being on a spiritual treasure hunt.  Luckily, the map planner, native speaker, and spiritual informant is leading the hunt.  I get to be the monkey look out and sink into the spiritual depths.
