Diana Baskin and her story. One evening in Brindavan, we were all gathered at Swami's feet, listening with rapt attention as He told us a fascinating story of artisan's love for Lord Krishna.He described a magnificent gold statue that the artisan had made of his beloved Lord . He said the statue had been designed by divine inspiration. Lord Krishna, Himself had guided every movement of artist's hand during its creation.Suddenly, Swami asked us: "Would you like to see it? "Oh, yes!" we eagerly answered in unison. Swami waved His hand and in it appear a resplendent gold statue. Many brilliant precious

gems adorned Krishna's head and body.The graceful figure sparkled and glowed as though alive. The precious statue was then passed around and each person was able to hold and admire it. When it returned to Swami, He held in it in His hand a moment. Then it disappeared.

Swami then told us a story about a treaty which India had made with another country. He explained that the entire treaty had been carved on a huge emerald that was presently being kept in the same museum as the Krishna statue." I will get it for you, "He said.When he stopped waving His hand, there appear in His palm a very large emerald. We were all breathless! What an extraordinary, magical evening this was.!. We passed the emerald among ourselves slowly, not wanting these rare moments to end."Pass it quickly, "Swami gently prodded us, " I have to return to it the museum before the guard realize it is gone.------------ Ram ChuganiKobe, Japan
