Ravi, I had posted out so couldn't wish you a happy birthday on the day itself - my wish for you is that however good your birthday was, everyday be that good for you.
If I may ask, what is the black string around the wrist for? Happy Birthday one day late MJ ________________________________ From: Ravi Chivukula <chivukula.r...@gmail.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2013 1:40 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Today's my birthday On Jan 19, 2013, at 11:08 PM, "emptybill" <emptyb...@yahoo.com> wrote: >Hope you have a good birthday, Ravioli. > >Your extended family looks very entertaining. >When you get some time tell us how birthdays >are celebrated there. > >Does your mom drag you to the temple? >Do you perform a nine-graha puja? > >How many lifetimes before you no longer >need a human body such a this to celebrate >surfing on the ocean of prana - awake and >unfettered? > Thank you Empty baby for your wishes. My nephews got me cake, candles, coke and celebrated my birthday Western style :-). I got 2 new outfits from my sisters & my mom. My mom is used to my irreverent ways and didn't insist on any temples - she made a half hearted attempt and after I excitedly remarked that the Gods would be happy to have my darshan abandoned it. She just tied a black string on my wrist, put some vibhuti/kumkum and oil on my head earlier this morning. Only one lifetime for me Empty. Devi sends her love, but your rebellious ways guarantee multiple lifetimes for you. Love, Ravi. >--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ravi Chivukula wrote: >> >> Please don't feel shy and pass along your wishes.
