Autumn Meditations.

I wonder if you have read the chapter "Descriptions of Autumn" in Srimad Bhagavatam. Each verse is a description of autumn in Vrindavana, and each feature of the season is made into a poetic analogy; a reflection on life with a spiritual message.

Srila Prabhupada translated this chapter with explanations of the verses, for a trip he was planning to Japan in 1961. This was eventually published as a book "Light of the Bhagavata" with delicate water-colour paintings, by the Chinese artist Madame Yun-sheng Li. It's a charming book to read in these autumn months.

I thought you'd like to sample some excerpts...
