More Autumn Inspirations...

A reader sent in this autumn meditation of their own, inspired by a walk in the countryside. It's a nice example of how we can link everything we see and experience, to Krishna.

The bewitching autumn season reminds me of Krishna; His mischievous glances and enchanting smile. His dancing.

The spicy autumn scents of fallen leaves, newly-ploughed fields and ripe berries remind me that Krishna is the 'fragrance of the earth'.

The glowing sunshine on golden leaves and bright red berries, reminds me of the richness of Radha-Madhava's golden form; Their red lips and hands. The blackberries and elderberries are the colour of His dark, curly hair.

The soft mists and silver gossamer, remind me of Krishna's elusiveness: He only reveals Himself to pure and humble devotees. Even at the rasa-dance, He disappeared from the gopis and from Radharani, when they became too proud.
