A multilingual website I've been building for a while went live a few days ago. It's a pretty simple site from user perspective but somewhat challenging to build, esp. due to data org to ease site gen, and me learning some of the tech as I build the site.
Many fixes and features are pending, but I'm happy with the outcome and the initial reception. I'm also humbled by the opportunity to work with and learn from a great scholar in the subject matter, and pleased to be able to use my time and knowledge for a worthy cause. 🙇♂️

#tbt: Jan. 1st 2025, I'd just arrived in #Udupi #India on #sabbatical, a "baby"; knew no one. With Sri Krishna's grace, the Swamijis' guidance, and the kindness of hundreds, I now feel I belong and welcomed there. 🙏

Great vocals accompanied by excellent violin, mrudangam, and ghatam. Two hours of heavenly #music. 🎶

Spending time in #Udupi #India, I've to be extra disciplined to eat healthy because #food is plenty and plenty of food is #unhealthy (but tasty). My success requires the understanding of both hosts and the serving personnel, and most days they take very good care of me.
Today was especially moving because I was at a place and people new to me, but they heard understood my needs, gave me a prime spot where they could monitor what was being served to me, and they made sure I got plenty of whatever I wanted; and nothing I didn't.
It's amazing how many people it takes for just one person to live well, and how generous, tolerant, and welcoming Udupi people are. 🙇♂️

#tbt: Pictures of some #portraits seen in the halls of Shree Sodhe Matha in #Udupi #India (Jan. 18, 2025)
The first two portray ("horse face"); the other two depict Waraaha (a boar). Both are forms of Lord Wishnu. #ama
PS: These are some of the finest modern portrayals I've seen. Also rare style for the setting they're in. Uneven ambience made taking pictures hard but I'm pleased with how they turned out. ☺️

Bummed I could not see this wonderful sight in person today (reasons) though I was nearby all day. Perhaps a solace that I happened to work on this Bhagavad Gita verse (11.11) today:
दिव्यमालयांबरधरं दिव्यगन्धानुलेपनम् ।
सर्वाश्चर्यमयं देवं अनन्तं विश्वतोमुखम् ॥
Wearing divine garlands and clothes, anointed with divine scents;
Lord, filled with all wonders, the unending, facing all universe [all seeing].
