The Ocean Pays Homage





The next day we proceeded to Kanya Kumari where sunrise and sunset are spectacular scenes not to be missed.  We went early in the morning and were blessed to see the wonderful rays of the rising sun - darshan of the Sun.

We remembered the incident when Beloved Baba was in Kanya Kumari.  While standing on the seashore, He told the devotees present that "This great ocean wants to welcome Swami and to garland My feet."  He gave permission and the waves touching His Divine Lotus Feet made an offering of a beautiful garland of  108 pearls, strung on a thread of gold.  The ocean thus paid homage to the Lord!  In the Chaitanya Jyoti Museum in Puttaparthi8, this scene of the ocean offering the pearl garland to Baba is shown in a film.
