Gopala and Douji's new facial decorations after an appointment with sila artist Madhurya Kadambini Mataji in Mayapura. The eyes were from her 'conch' collection http://www.salagram.net/sstp-Artseva.html and the mouths were made by myself after she taught me the technique and gave me some materials.
We are very happy with and grateful for the outcome of our visit.
Sri Sri Gopala-Douji
Douji (Balaram Govardhan sila) and Bala Gopala - April 2007
Sri Bala Gopala 11th July 2005 - We tried for the first time to make Him a Tulsi garland. He seems quite comfy with it doesn't He?

A song for Bala Gopal "Begging For Gopala" by Ekendra dasa
Your feet are soft like lotus
body black like monsoon cloud
Your form sweet sugar candy
that can melt hearts of the proud
Your feet tinged soft and pink
marked with all auspicious signs
oh when will You reveal them
to attract this wretched mind?
Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala!
You gave such love to Putana
despite evil intent
please can this lowly beggar
have at least as much consent?
You chop off demons' heads
suck their life and bifurcate
some devotees may feel squeamish
but Gopala you're just great!
Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala!
Pleasing your devotees
is your favorite thing to do
so please just let me serve them
so more pleasure comes to You
I'm begging for your mercy
because my mind is like an ass
so please reveal your sweetness
to this low Ekendra das
Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala! Gopala!
Bala Gopala (pic 22nd December 2004) - He was gifted by Pandava Prema dasa
He looks especially gorgeous today, no? Gita Jayanti + Ekadasi .. nice
day for Saligram Puja (22nd December 2004).
We did an especially long kirtana for Him today too. Very satisfying.
