“Did you get ice cream?”

Tonight is the start of Diwali.  While chatting with us in the Mandapam, Amma asked us if we all had ice-cream as part of the celebrations.   (We hadn’t yet – it’s supposed to come tomorrow).  “We are able to see you and talk to you – that itself is ice-cream,” responded one Brahmachari to much laughter.
Fuchsia, pink, rose-red, who could tell?   When Amma came out for Darshan, not even our on-site web-cam contact could venture a guess.  Doesn’t matter anyway.  To all of us, Amma looks beautiful in any sari.  She who is the brightest of all lights, the source of all colors.
Tomorrow late afternoon will be the end of Devi Bhava in Barcelona.   Maybe we’ll all have cups of ice-cream in hand while watching.
Next stop – Manheim.
