A few days before labour

Ishvari gave birth to Kairava Chandrika on the 7th of August at 1444.44 (2:44 and 44 seconds)

Shes two weeks old now and she’s super cute.
Her name is derived from this verse of Siksastakam

cheto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha--davagni-nirvapanam
shreyah-kairava-chandrika-vitaranam vidya-vadhu-jivanam
anandambudhi-vardhanam prati-padam purnamritaswadanam
sarvatma-snapanam param vijayate sri-krishna-sankirtanam

Glory to the Sri-Krsna-Sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.

I had been working on the piece below for weeks and finished it a few days after her birth. I dedicate this piece to her.
