Gandharva Loka and met many Gandharvas. The Devi seen here in this
picture helped him staying in their land where human beings can not
stay.The Devi helped Promod kumar to stay there for three days. It's a
wonderful land and unimaginable by human beings.
Promod Kumar wrote that with the human physical body it is impossible
to stay there.

I do not want to be faded out from the minds of my friends.

Intimacy with the Divine in the Vital
Only a pure calm and desire less vital can hope to enter this marvelous state.

my passion

Years ago in my desparate passion for trees I planted it on the bank
of a pond beside my house. I thought that I could see it blossoming
from my window. But storm and stray cattle endangered the life of the
sapling time and again. I had to make a strong fence to protect it.
Now someone -built a house in between the sapling and my house. This
was painful for me. In course of time some more trees that I planted
-were felled down by the electricity department. I felt sad-to such an
extent that I never went to see the tree. Today after a decade I have
gone near the pond only to see if it has been there at all!
Oh it is so tall-a full-formed adult and is full of flowers!
While staring at it I discovered the passion of my mind in the flkowers!

Poinciana or Flamboyant, it is also known as Krishnachura, Gulmohar,

Even it appears to mimic one!

Green, the saviour green

When I have been desparately looking for clouds for getting a lease of
life I find none in this cruel April of Calcutta.
But suddenly I find this green-this refreshing and promising green!
