TAKE TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO g

Monday's Critters

Krishna-bhai, senior guardian of the ashram grounds. He seemed ageless as the avatar for whom he was named. He knew the routines and would accompany all the brahmacharis in the early morning up to the temple for chanting, then to the annakshetra for breakfast, then on to Saraswati Nilayam for study. He'd lie listening closely, absorbing all the lessons, over and over for all his years. Three batches at least of students remember him, perhaps four. He'd have been at least 14 when I knew him. On my last visit a couple of years back, he had finally transcended his body.
