Muva nje sekunomkhuba wemfashini othi umuntu osethuthukile akavakashele izindawo eziphethe. Kodwa ngokuvamile abantu bazama nje ukukhokhela imfashini. Igama leBhayibheli elithi “ize leze” alizwakali nhlobo kumuntu wanamuhla. Abantu bathanda ukuhleka. Abahlali phansi. Benza izinhlu ezinde kubahleli bazo ukuthi bazovakasha ini, kuphi, futhi nini. Ngakho-ke, kanye neLouvre, i-Hermitage, i-Delhi Ashvattham, imibhoshongo yaseGibhithe, i-Stonehenge, i-Angkor Wat igxilile ezingqondweni zalabo abalandela inkokhiso yemfashini futhi bafake umkhaza encwadini yokuphila: Ngibe lapha. , ngiyivakashele, ngiphawule lapha.
Lo mbono waqinisekiswa kimi ngumngane wami uSasha, umfana waseRussia waseSamara owafika e-Angkor Wat futhi wayithanda le ndawo kangangokuthi wanquma ukuhlala futhi asebenze lapha njengomhlahlandlela.
I-Angkor Wat iyisikhumbuzo esikhulu kunazo zonke emlandweni, wezokwakha kanye ne-metaphysics, esatholwa amaFulentshi ehlathini laseCambodia ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19. Isikhathi sokuqala abaningi bethu bajwayelana nesithombe se-Angkor Wat, befunda izinganekwane zikaKipling mayelana nedolobha lezinkawu elashiywa, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi ukulahlwa nokukhungatheka kwamadolobha asehlathini akuyona inganekwane nhlobo.
Impucuko iyazalwa futhi iyafa, futhi imvelo yenza umsebenzi wayo waphakade. Futhi ungabona uphawu lokuzalwa nokufa kwempucuko lapha emathempelini asendulo aseCambodia. Izihlahla ezinkulu zasezindaweni ezishisayo zibonakala zizama ukuklinya izakhiwo zamatshe zomuntu ezingalweni zazo, zibambe amatshe ngezimpande zawo ezinamandla futhi zicindezele izingalo zazo, amasentimitha ambalwa ngokoqobo ngonyaka. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, izithombe ezimangalisayo ezimangalisayo zivela lapha, lapho yonke into yesikhashana edalwe ngumuntu, njengokungathi, ibuyela esifubeni sikamama wemvelo.
Ngabuza umqondisi uSasha - wenzani ngaphambi kweCambodia? USasha wayilandisa indaba yakhe. Ngamafuphi, wayengumculi, wasebenza kuthelevishini, wabe esedla i-formic acid e-anthill enkulu ebizwa ngokuthi iMoscow, futhi wanquma ukuthuthela eSamara, lapho ajwayelana khona ne-bhakti yoga. Kwakubonakala ku-Sasha ukuthi wayesuka eMoscow ukuze enze okuthile okubalulekile futhi okufuywayo. Wayephupha ngobuciko obunohlamvu olukhulu, kodwa ngemva kokufunda nge-bhakti yoga, waqaphela ukuthi ubuciko beqiniso yikhono lokubona umhlaba ngeso lomphefumulo. Ngemva kokufunda i-Bhagavad Gita ne-Bhagavata Purana, nganquma ukuya lapha ukuze ngiyozibonela ngawami isikhumbuzo esikhulu se-cosmology yamaVeda yasendulo, futhi ngazithanda lezi zindawo kangangokuthi nganquma ukuhlala lapha. Futhi njengoba isivakashi saseRussia, ingxenye enkulu, sikhuluma isiNgisi esincane futhi sifuna ukuxhumana nesakhe, ngakho sathola umsebenzi wokuba umqondisi enkampanini yezokuvakasha yendawo. Njengoba besho, hhayi ngenjongo yokuzicabangela, kodwa ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngakho ngaphakathi.
Ngambuza, “Ngakho-ke ungumdli wemifino?” USasha wathi: “Yebo. Ngikholwa ukuthi noma yimuphi umuntu ophile kahle onolwazi olunzulu ngemvelo yakhe kufanele abe umuntu odla imifino, futhi ngisho nangaphezulu. Emazwini ezwi lakhe eliqotho, elikholisayo, ngezwa izinkulumo ezimbili: eyokuqala “yayiyimvelo yangaphakathi” neyesibili “yayingadli imifino nokunye.” Nganginesithakazelo esikhulu ukuzwa incazelo evela ezindebeni zensizwa - isizukulwane esisha sezingane ze-Indigo. Ngicwebise amehlo kwelinye iso, ngabuza ngezwi eliphansi: “Ngichazele ukuthi usho ukuthini ngaleli gama. imvelo yangaphakathi? »
Le ngxoxo yenzeka komunye wemibukiso yasethempelini, lapho imifanekiso emihle eqoshiwe yokupheshulwa kolwandle olunobisi yayiqoshwe odongeni olungapheli. Onkulunkulu namademoni badonsa inyoka yendawo yonke uVasuki, eyasetshenziswa njengentambo ende kunazo zonke emlandweni wendalo. Futhi le ntambo ephilayo yasibekela intaba yendawo yonke iMeru. Wema emanzini oLwandle iCausal, futhi wayesekelwa ufudu lwakhe olukhulu lwe-avatar, uKurma, ukuzalwa kweNkosi Ephakeme uVishnu ngokwakhe. Ezindaweni zamandla, imibuzo nezimpendulo ngokwazo ziza kithi uma sisesha.
Ubuso bomqondisi wami baba bucayi, kwabonakala sengathi uvule futhi wavala izixhumanisi eziningi zekhompiyutha engqondweni yakhe, ngoba wayefuna ukukhuluma kafushane futhi mayelana nento eyinhloko. Ekugcineni wakhuluma. Lapho amaVeda echaza umuntu, asebenzisa igama elithi Jivatma (jiva-atma), noma umphefumulo, kuye. I-Jiva ihambisana kakhulu negama lesiRashiya elithi ukuphila. Singasho ukuthi umphefumulo yilowo ophilayo. Ingxenye yesibili - i-atma - isho ukuthi ingumuntu ngamunye. Awukho umphefumulo ofana. Umphefumulo ungunaphakade futhi unesimo sobunkulunkulu.
“Impendulo ethakazelisayo,” ngisho. “Kodwa umphefumulo ungowaphezulu kangakanani, ngokombono wakho?” USasha wamomotheka wayesethi: “Ngingaphendula engikufunda kumaVeda kuphela. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwami kuwukukholelwa kwami emazwini amaVedas. Angiyena u-Einstein noma amaVedavyas, ngimane ngicaphuna amazwi ezihlakaniphi ezinkulu zemetaphysical. Kodwa amaVeda athi kunezinhlobo ezimbili zemiphefumulo: eyodwa yilabo abahlala ezweni lezinto futhi bathembele emizimbeni yenyama, bayazalwa futhi bafe ngenxa yekarma; abanye bayimiphefumulo engafi ehlala emhlabeni wokuqaphela okumsulwa, abaqapheli ukwesaba ukuzalwa, ukufa, ukukhohlwa nokuhlupheka okuhambisana nakho.
Umhlaba wokuqaphela okumsulwa owethulwe lapha maphakathi nesakhiwo seThempeli lase-Angkor Wat. Futhi ukuvela kokuqaphela kuyizinyathelo eziyinkulungwane lapho umphefumulo ukhuphuka khona. Ngaphambi kokuba sikhuphukele phezulu kakhulu eThempelini, lapho uBunkulunkulu uVishnu ekhona, kuyodingeka sidlule emagalaji namaphasishi amaningi. Isinyathelo ngasinye sifanekisela izinga lokuqaphela nokukhanyiseleka. Futhi umphefumulo okhanyisiwe kuphela ongeke ubone isithombe setshe, kodwa i-Divine Essence yaphakade, ebuka ngenjabulo, enikeza ukubukeka kwesihe kuwo wonke umuntu ongena lapha.
Ngathi: “Ima, usho ukuthi ingqikithi yaleliThempeli yayifinyeleleka kuphela kwabakhanyiselwe, futhi wonke umuntu wabona izitebhisi zamatshe, ama-bas-relief, imifanekiso eqoshiwe, kanye nezihlakaniphi ezinkulu kuphela, ezingenalo isembozo sokukhohlisa, ezazingacabanga nge-Oversoul. , noma umthombo wayo yonke imiphefumulo - uVishnu noma uNarayana? “Kunjalo,” kuphendula uSasha. “Kodwa abakhanyisiwe abawadingi amathempeli nemithetho,” kusho mina. “Umuntu othole ukukhanyiselwa angabona iNkosi yonke indawo—kuwo wonke ama-athomu, kuzo zonke izinhliziyo.” USasha wahleka futhi waphendula: “Lawa amaqiniso asobala. INkosi ikhona yonke indawo, kuwo wonke ama-athomu, kodwa ethempelini ibonisa isihe esikhethekile, izembula kubo kokubili abantu abakhanyisiwe nabavamile. Ngakho-ke, wonke umuntu weza lapha - izimfihlakalo, amakhosi kanye nabantu abavamile. I-Infinite iziveza kuwo wonke umuntu ngokwamandla omuntu obonayo, futhi futhi ngokuya ngokuthi Ifuna ukuveza imfihlo yayo kithi kangakanani. Lena inqubo yomuntu ngamunye. Kuncike kuphela engqikithini yobuhlobo phakathi komphefumulo noNkulunkulu.”
Lapho sisaxoxa, asizange siphawule nokuthi isixuku esincane sezivakashi sasibuthene kanye nomqondisi osekhulile. Ngokusobala laba kwakungabantu bakithi ababesilalela ngesithakazelo esikhulu, kodwa okwangihlaba umxhwele ngaphezu kwakho konke ukuthi umqondisi waseCambodia wanqekuzisa ikhanda evuma, wabe esethi ngesiRashiya esihle: “Yebo, kunjalo. Inkosi eyakha ithempeli yayingummeleli kaVishnu, oPhezukonke, futhi yakwenza lokhu ukuze wonke umuntu ohlala ezweni lakubo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungowaluphi uhlanga noma imvelaphi, athole i-darshan - ukuzindla ngomfanekiso waphezulu woPhezukonke.
LeliThempeli limelela umhlaba wonke. Umbhoshongo ophakathi yintaba yegolide yaseMeru, egcwele indawo yonke. Ihlukaniswe ngamazinga amele izindiza zezidalwa eziphakeme, ezifana neTapa-loka, Maha-loka, nabanye. Kula maplanethi kuhlala ama-mystics amakhulu afinyelele izinga eliphezulu lokuqaphela. Kufana nezitebhisi eziholela ekukhanyeni okuphezulu kakhulu. Phezulu kwaleli ladi kukhona umdali uBrahma ngokwakhe, njengekhompyutha enamandla enamaphrosesa amane - iBrahma inamakhanda amane. Emzimbeni wakhe ohlakaniphile, njenge-bifidobacteria, izigidigidi zezazi ziphila. Sezihlangene zibukeka njengenqwaba yamakhompiyutha ahlaselayo, zimodela i-Universe yethu ngefomethi engu-3-D, futhi ngemva kokubhujiswa kwayo, ngemva kokuqeda inkonzo yabo emhlabeni, bathuthela emhlabeni wokuqaphela okuphakeme.”
“Yini ezansi?” Ngibuzile. Umqondisi, emamatheka, waphendula: “Ngezansi kunemihlaba ephansi. Lokho amaKristu akubiza ngokuthi isihogo. Kodwa akuwona wonke umhlaba omubi ngendlela uDante noma isonto abachaza ngayo. Eminye yemihlaba ephansi iyathandeka kakhulu ngokombono wezinto ezibonakalayo. Kukhona ubumnandi bocansi, amagugu, kepha abakhileyo kulemihlaba kuphela abasekukhohlweni isimo sabo saphakade, bancishwa ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu.
Ngancokola: “Banjani abaseFinland, noma kuthiwani? Baphila ezweni labo elincane nezinjabulo zabo ezincane futhi abakholelwa kunoma yini ngaphandle kwabo. Umqondisi akazange aqonde ukuthi obani abaseFinns, kodwa waqonda bonke abanye, futhi, emomotheka, wanqekuzisa ikhanda lakhe. Wathi: “Kodwa ngisho nalapho, inyoka enkulu u-Ananta, umfanekiso kaVishnu, imkhazimulisa ngamakhanda ayo ayinkulungwane, ngakho kuhlale kunethemba kuwo wonke umuntu eMkhathini. Futhi inhlanhla ekhethekile iwukuzalwa njengomuntu,” kuphendula umqondisi.
Ngamamatheka futhi ngaqala ukumkhulumela: “Ngokuqondile ngoba umuntu kuphela ongachitha amahora amane eshayela eya emsebenzini, amahora ayishumi emsebenzini, ihora lokudla, imizuzu emihlanu eya ocansini, futhi ekuseni yonke into iqala kabusha. ” Umqondisi wahleka futhi wathi: “Yebo, yebo, uqinisile, yindoda yesimanje kuphela ekwazi ukuchitha ukuphila kwayo ngokungenangqondo. Lapho enesikhathi samahhala, uziphatha kabi nakakhulu, efuna ukuzijabulisa okuyize. Kodwa okhokho bethu abazange basebenze amahora angaphezu kwama-4 ngosuku, belandela i-canon yamaVeda. Lokhu kwakwanele ukuba bazihlinzeke ngokudla nezingubo. “Benzeni sonke isikhathi?” Ngabuza ngokukhulu ukucasuka. Umqondisi (Khmer), emamatheka, waphendula: “Umuntu othile wayesukuma phakathi nenkathi ye-brahma-muhurta. Sekuyoshaya ihora lesine ekuseni lapho umhlaba usuqala ukuvuka. Wayegeza, ezindla, angase enze ngisho neyoga noma izivivinyo zokuphefumula isikhashana ukuze agxilise ingqondo yakhe, bese esho amazwi angcwele, futhi angase, ngokwesibonelo, aye ethempelini lapha ukuze ahlanganyele emkhosini we-arati.”
"Yini i-arati?" Ngibuzile. UKhmer waphendula: “Lona umcimbi oyimfihlakalo lapho kunikelwa khona amanzi, umlilo, izimbali, impepho kuMninimandla onke.” Ngabuza: “Ingabe uNkulunkulu uyazidinga izakhi zenyama azidalile, ngoba konke kungezakhe noma kunjalo?” Umqondisi walazisa ihlaya lami futhi wathi: “Ezweni lanamuhla, sifuna ukusebenzisa amafutha namandla ukuze siziphakele, kodwa phakathi nomkhosi wokukhulekela siyakhumbula ukuthi yonke into esemhlabeni ingenxa yenjabulo Yakhe, futhi siyizinhlayiyana nje ezincane zemvelo. izwe elikhulu elivumelanayo, futhi kufanele lisebenze njenge-orchestra eyodwa, khona-ke indawo yonke izovumelana. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho sinikeza uMninimandla onke okuthile, akazamukeli izakhi zenyama, kodwa uthando nokuzinikela kwethu. Kodwa umuzwa wakhe ekuphenduleni uthando lwethu ubenza bangokomoya, ngakho izimbali, umlilo, amanzi kuba okungokomoya futhi kuhlanze ukwazi kwethu okubi.
Omunye wabalaleli akakwazanga ukukumela futhi wabuza: “Kungani kudingeka sihlanze ukwazi kwethu?” Umqondisi, emamatheka, waqhubeka: “Ingqondo yethu nemizimba yethu kungaphansi kokungcoliswa okungapheli - njalo ekuseni sixubha amazinyo ethu futhi sigeze. Lapho sesihlanze imizimba yethu, sithola injabulo ethile esiyithola ngokuhlanzeka.” “Yebo kunjalo,” kuphendula umlaleli. “Kepha akuwona umzimba wodwa ongcoliswayo. Ingqondo, imicabango, imizwa - konke lokhu kungcolile endizeni ecashile; lapho ukwazi komuntu kungcolisiwe, ulahlekelwa ikhono lokuthola izinto ezingokomoya ezicashile, uba lukhuni futhi angabi namoya.” Le ntombazane yathi, “Yebo, abantu abanjalo sibabiza ngesikhumba esiminyene noma abathanda izinto ezibonakalayo,” yabe yenezela, “Ngeshwa, siyimpucuko yabantu abathanda izinto ezibonakalayo.” UKhmer wanikina ikhanda ngokudabukisayo.
Ukuze ngikhuthaze ababekhona, ngathi: “Akukalahleki, sikhona futhi manje, futhi sikhuluma ngalezi zinto. Njengoba uDescartes asho, ngiyangabaza, ngakho-ke ngikhona. Nangu umngani wami uSasha, naye ungumqondisi futhi unentshisekelo kwi-bhakti yoga, size ukuzoshutha ifilimu nokwenza umbukiso.” Ezwa inkulumo yami evuthayo, ngomoya kaLenin emotweni yezikhali, umqondisi wamaKhmer wahleka, evula amehlo akhe obuntwana ekhehla, futhi wangixhawula. “Ngafunda eRussia, ePatrice Lumumba Institute, futhi thina, abantu baseningizimu, besilokhu sikhangwa isenzakalo somphefumulo waseRussia. Uhlala umangaze umhlaba wonke ngezenzo zakho ezimangalisayo - noma undizela emkhathini, noma ufeza umsebenzi wakho wamazwe ngamazwe. Nina baseRussia anikwazi ukuhlala nithule. Ngijabula kakhulu ngokuthi nginomsebenzi onjalo - abantu bendawo kade bakhohlwa amasiko abo futhi beza lapha ukuze nje babonise inhlonipho ngezindawo ezingcwele zabantu base-Asiya, kodwa nina baseRussia nifuna ukufika ekugcineni, ngakho ngijabule kakhulu ngizokubona. Ake ngizethule - igama lami nginguPrasad." USasha uthe: "Ngakho-ke lokhu ku-Sanskrit - ukudla okungcwelisiwe!" Umqondisi wamamatheka futhi wathi, “I-Prasad ayikona nje ukudla okukhanyisiwe, ngokuvamile isho isihe seNkosi. Umama wayezinikele kakhulu futhi wathandaza kuVishnu ukuba amthumelele isihe. Ngakho-ke, njengoba ngizalelwe emndenini ompofu, ngathola imfundo ephakeme, ngafunda eRussia, ngafundisa, kodwa manje ngisebenza nje njengomqondisi, ngezikhathi ezithile, amahora amaningana ngosuku, ukuze ngingami, ngaphandle kwalokho, Ngithanda ukukhuluma isiRashiya.
“Kuhle,” ngisho. Ngalesi sikhathi, sase sizungezwe isixuku esihloniphekile sabantu, kanye nabanye abantu baseRussia abadlula ngokungahleliwe, hhayi amaRussia kuphela, ajoyina iqembu. Lezi zethameli ezakhiwe ngokuzenzakalelayo kubonakala sengathi kade zazana. Futhi kungazelelwe omunye umuntu omangalisayo: "Ukusebenza okuhle," ngezwa inkulumo yesiRashiya enezwi elijwayelekile lamaNdiya. Phambi kwami kwakumi iNdiya elincane, elizacile eligqoke izibuko, ligqoke ihembe elimhlophe, namadlebe amakhulu, njengalawo kaBuddha. Izindlebe zangihlaba umxhwele ngempela. Ngaphansi kwezibuko ze-Olympiad zesitayela samashumi ayisishiyagalombili ezixakile, amehlo ahlakaniphile ayecwebezela; ingilazi yokukhulisa ewugqinsi yayibonakala ibenza babe nkulu ngokuphindwe kabili, yebo, kwakukhunjulwa amehlo nezindlebe ezinkulu kuphela. Kimi kwakubonakala sengathi umHindu ungowezizwe kwelinye iqiniso.
Ebona ukumangala kwami, umHindu wazethula: “UProfesa Chandra Bhattacharya. Kodwa umkami nguMirra. Ngabona owesifazane omfishane emfushane, egqoke izibuko ezifanayo ncamashi futhi enamadlebe amakhulu. Angikwazanga ukubamba ukumamatheka kwami futhi ekuqaleni ngafuna ukusho into enjengale: “Ufana nabantu,” kodwa wazibamba wayesethi ngesizotha: “Ufana nomfowethu nodadewethu.” Umbhangqwana wamamatheka. Uprofesa wathi wafunda isiRashiya phakathi neminyaka yobungane obukhuthele baseRussia-Indian, esehlale iminyaka eminingana eSt. Manje usethathe umhlalaphansi futhi uya ezindaweni ezahlukene, kudala ephupha ngokuza e-Angkor Wat, futhi umkakhe waphupha ebona amafresco adumile noKrishna. Ngashalaza ngathi: “Leli ithempeli likaVishnu, uneKrishna eNdiya.” Uprofesa wathi, “ENdiya, uKrishna noVishnu bayinto eyodwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uVishnu, nakuba engoPhakeme, kodwa ngokombono wamaVaishnava, usesikhundleni saphezulu esamukelwa ngokuvamile kuphela. Ngokushesha ngamphazamisa: “Usho ukuthini ngegama elithi elamukelwa ngokuvamile?” “Mkami ngizokuchazela lokhu. Ngeshwa, akasikhulumi isiRashiya, kodwa akagcini nje ngokugxeka ubuciko, kodwa futhi ungumfundi wenkolo wamaSanskrit.” Ngamamatheka ngokungakholwa ngavuma ngekhanda.
Ukuhlanzeka nokucaca kolimi lomkaProfessor kwangithinta emazwini okuqala, nakuba ayekhuluma ngokucacile “isiNgisi saseNdiya”, kodwa kwaba nomuzwa wokuthi le ntokazi entekenteke yayiyisikhulumi esihle kakhulu futhi ngokusobala inguthisha onolwazi. Wathi, “Bheka phezulu.” Wonke umuntu waphakamisa amakhanda akhe wabona ama-stucco bas-reliefs asendulo, angagcinwanga kahle kakhulu. Umqondisi wamaKhmer waqinisekisa: “O yebo, lezi yizithombe eziqoshiwe ze-Krishna, ezinye zazo ziyaqondakala kithi, kanti ezinye azibazi.” Owesifazane waseNdiya wabuza: “Iziphi ezingaqondakali?” Umqondisi wathi: “Awu, ngokwesibonelo, lena. Kimina kubonakala sengathi kunohlobo oluthile lwedemoni lapha kanye nendaba ethile eyinqaba engekho kumaPuranas. Le ntokazi yasho ngezwi eliqinile, “Cha, akuwona amademoni, ayingane nje enguKrishna. Unemilenze emine, ngoba unguGopal osanda kuzalwa, njengomntwana omncane, futhi izingxenye ezilahlekile zobuso bakhe zikunikeza umbono wakhe njengedemoni. Nansi-ke intambo unina ayibophela ebhandeni ukuze angagabi. Ngendlela, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wazama kangakanani ukumbopha, kwakungekho njalo intambo eyanele, ngoba i-Krishna ayinamkhawulo, futhi ungakwazi kuphela ukubopha okungenamkhawulo ngentambo yothando. Futhi lokhu kungumfanekiso wezinkanyezi ezimbili zasezulwini azikhulula, ezihlala ngesimo sezihlahla ezimbili.
Wonke umuntu owayeseduze wayemangele ukuthi lo wesifazane wachaza kanjani itulo le-bas-relief elisulwe ingxenye. Othile wakhipha incwadi enesithombe wathi, “Yebo, yiqiniso.” Ngaleso sikhathi, sabona ingxoxo emangalisayo phakathi kwabameleli bemiphakathi emibili. Khona-ke umhlahlandlela waseCambodia washintshela esiNgisini futhi buthule unkosikazi kaprofesa ukuthi kungani eThempelini laseVishnu kunezithombe eziqoshiwe ze-Krishna ophahleni? Futhi kusho ukuthini lokho? Lona wesifazane wathi, “Sesikutshelile kakade ukuthi eNdiya amaVaishnava akholelwa ukuthi uVishnu uwumqondo othile ovamile ngoNkulunkulu, njengokuthi: oPhezukonke, uMdali, uMninimandla onke, uMninimandla onke. Ingafaniswa nombusi noma umashiqela. Unezinto ezinjengobuhle, amandla, udumo, ulwazi, amandla, ithimba, kodwa ngesimo sikaVishnu izici zakhe eziyinhloko amandla nengcebo. Cabanga nje: inkosi, futhi wonke umuntu ukhangwa amandla ayo nengcebo. Kodwa yini, noma ubani, i-tsar ngokwayo ekhangayo? Owesifazane waseRussia owayephakathi esixukwini, owayelalele ngokucophelela, wathi: “I-Tsar iyawathanda ngempela amaTsaritsa.” “Impela,” kuphendula umkaprofesa. “Ngaphandle kwendlovukazi, inkosi ayikwazi ukujabula ngokuphelele. Inkosi ilawula yonke into, kodwa isigodlo silawulwa yindlovukazi - uLakshmi.
Ngabe sengibuza, “Kuthiwani ngoKrishna? I-Vishnu-Lakshmi - konke kucacile, kodwa uKrishna uhlangene ngani nakho? Umkaprofesa waqhubeka ngokungananazi: “Cabanga nje ukuthi i-tsar inendawo yokuhlala, noma i-dacha.” Ngaphendula: “Yebo, ngingacabanga, ngoba umkhaya waseRomanov wawuhlala eLivadia eCrimea endaweni yokubuka indawo, kwakukhona neTsarskoye Selo.” “Impela,” ephendula ngokuvumayo: “Lapho inkosi, nomndeni wayo, abangane nezihlobo, ithatha umhlalaphansi lapho ihlala khona, ukungena kuvulelwa abantu abaphakeme kuphela. Lapho inkosi ijabulela ubuhle bemvelo, ayidingi umqhele, noma igolide, noma izimpawu zamandla, ngoba inezihlobo zayo nabathandekayo bayo, futhi lo nguKrishna - iNkosi ehlabelela futhi idansa.
UKhmer wanikina ikhanda evuma, khona-ke omunye wabalaleli ababenakekile, owayesevele ehlanganyele engxoxweni, wathi: “Ngakho izifanekiso ezibekwe ophahleni ziwuphawu lokuthi ngisho noVishnu unezwe eliyimfihlo elingenakufinyelelwa abantu nje!” UKhmer waphendula: “Ngeneliseke ngokujulile ngempendulo kaprofesa waseNdiya, ngoba iningi lososayensi lapha bangabeLungu, futhi abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, banendlela yokufunda kuphela. Lokhu okwashiwo nguNkk. Bhattacharya kimi kubonakala kuyimpendulo engokomoya.” Umkaprofesa waphendula ngokungananazi: “Ingokomoya libuye libe isayensi. Ngisho naseminyakeni yami yokuqala, ngathola ukuqalwa ku-Gaudiya Math kothisha baseVaishnava, abalandeli beSri Chaitanya. Bonke babengochwepheshe abahle kakhulu beSanskrit nemibhalo, futhi ukujula kokuqonda kwabo izinto ezingokomoya kwakuphelele kangangokuthi izazi eziningi zingamhawukela kuphela. Ngathi, “Asikho isidingo sokuxabana. Ososayensi bangososayensi, banendlela yabo siqu, izazi zemfundiso yenkolo nezifundiswa ezingaqondakali zibona umhlaba ngendlela yazo, ngisavame ukukholelwa ukuthi iqiniso liphakathi nendawo - phakathi kwenkolo nesayensi. Okuhlangenwe nakho okungaqondakali kuseduze nami.”
I-spring spring rolls namakinati
Isobho lemifino elinama-noodle elayisi
Kulokhu sahlukana. Isisu sami sasesivele sibobotheka yindlala futhi ngavele ngafuna ukudla okumnandi nokushisayo. “Ingabe ikhona indawo yokudlela yemifino endaweni ethile?” Ngabuza uSasha njengoba sehla emigwaqweni emide yase-Angkor Wat siya endaweni ephumayo enkulu. USasha uthe ukudla kwendabuko kwaseCambodia kufana nokudla kwaseThailand, futhi kunezindawo zokudlela ezimbalwa zemifino edolobheni. Futhi cishe kuzo zonke izindawo zokudlela uzonikezwa imenyu ebanzi yemifino: amasaladi e-papaya, i-curry nelayisi, ama-skewer amakhowe endabuko, isobho likakhukhunathi noma i-tom yum namakhowe, kancane kuphela endaweni.
Ngathi: “Kodwa ngisangathanda indawo yokudlela edla imifino kuphela, futhi okungcono kakhulu eseduze.” USasha wabe esethi: “Kunesikhungo esincane esingokomoya lapha, lapho kuhlala khona uVaishnavas.
