Re: Weird or Good?

From the Bhakti List Archives

Sadagopan • October 24, 1998 


Dear Sri Srinivasan :

What you are experiencing is a blessed 
anubhavam . As our minds get more and more focussed
on the SaraNya Dampathis , they appear in our
dreams . It is the benefit of Divya Dampathi's 
grace from our Purva samskArams . The sukhAnubhavam 
arising from such dreams like visiting 
Temples and having the sevai of the ArchA 
Murthys in these dreams is the proof positive 
of  the progress in the anushtAnams and 
sAdhanais energized by Them .

Please consider yourself blessed .
It is a stage of one's spiritual growth .
It certainly is not " weird" anubhavam .
It is mahA prasAdham .
