About my Lightbearer robe

Early in July, Ramesha got to try on, then take home, his finished Lightbearer robe.

Today was finally my turn (getting robes custom-made is not a quick and easy kind of project!).

What I find interesting is that I feel somewhat distanced and a little detached from the whole idea right now — probably because the start-to-finish process of getting my robe took almost eight months (much of it spent just locating a good local seamstress!).

Of course, I have a hunch I’ll be experiencing a completely different range of feelings come Sunday morning when I get “robed up” for the first time to give service at Ananda Los Angeles. 🙏

We’re getting there

We’ve been patiently waiting (we took our Lightbearer vows in January) for our friend, Mantradevi, to figure out how to get Lightbearer robes made. (It’s been a huge challenge but Mantradevi is a real trooper and she’s getting it done!)

She finally found a wonderful seamstress in town and today Ramesha was able to try on his finished robe — whoo hoo!

Mine is next. 🤩
