Mohini to the rescue.

I have two Indian calendars and two Nepalese calendars. The Nepalese are on what seems to be recycled paper and with two months represented on each page with a painted illustration of an animal at the top.

My Indian calendar from Bombay Bazaar has a daunting illustration of Krishna in the chariot with Arjun and his huge moustache begging for guidance with Brahma as a sun-like yellow in the background.

Where I got the other calendar I've forgotten--maybe Redhill Books here in Bernal? Meanwhile, enough about the details. This calendar has had a different god represented in different ways on each month. Last month was Ganesh in three-image form. This month Vishnu is depicted in the form of Mohini, the enchantress Vishnu becomes when he takes the form of a woman.

I just remembered I have to write that paper about the nahuales and divination. That site about multimedia was too much, too. And, tomorrow I return officially to work after my freedom days of the past almost 2 months. The days of sleeping until 11am on Monday through Friday are over until November.

I believe meditation takes one to a "nowhere" place and Mind, Soul plus Spirit are free to commune. Much wisdom is available "there",
to say nothing of healing.
