“Apsarasas”

Excerpt from “Osi and Isi: A Tale of Twin Flames”: “The Native American looked over at her companion with wide eyes. Aurora beamed a smile and nodded her head. Then she rose and, taking Aiyana’s hand, led her to a nearby stream. At first, neither of the women saw anything unusual. But gradually their ears picked up a soft, melodic tune. They looked over at the far bank of the stream. A group of three apsaras, a sort of water nymph, was dancing in tune with the music. The dancers were slightly shorter than normal human height, with slim waists and exaggerated hips and breasts. They wore elaborate gold headdresses, a kind of skimpy, silken bra, and short silk skirts. The apsaras were not only lovely of face and form, but highly seductive in their looks and movements. Floating above the apsaras were musicians known as gandharvas, males who played long-necked string instruments and skin-covered drums. Aurora and Aiyana stared in fascination as the musicians played and the dancers danced. At the conclusion of their song, both groups disappeared in an instant.”
