The eighth month of Barah Maha Katak occurs from mid-October to mid-November. The second harvest has begun; what is sowed is now becoming fruitful. The human-bride has now taken refuge in the Wisdom of the Guru. She’s walking on the Guru’s path. She’s nourishing in the Guru’s teachings, and the Wisdom enables union with the Divine-Husband. She blooms in delight. Follow along as the human-bride seeks an understanding of the purpose of deeds. What do they do to us? And what can they do for us?
