Guest guest Posted October 23, 1998 Report Share Posted October 23, 1998 Please accept my pranamams... There's something i think I experienced, which I am not sure is either weird or good. A couple of nights back, I had a strange dream. Without going in to the gory details, let me be brief here. As I remember it now, I was supposedly helping my sister read (and reading along with her) the divya prabandham. This is not the strange part. We completed about ten prabandhams and I was anxious to start the next ten. Although I do remember that one of the two was "kanninun siruthambu", I am not sure if the other was "Amalanadipiraan or Suzh visumpani mughil". To complete the dream (!), my sister refused to go ahead with the second ten, and I was obviously not too pleased. What I find strange here is that I remember reading the entire ten prabandhams during my dream. Its one thing to glance or skim through something, but totally different to read it. I am conversant with both Kanninunsiruthambu, suzh visumpanimughil and amalanadipiraan, but I cannot recite these in the absence of a book. Hence, I am confident that I was actually reading (and ofcourse enjoying) from the book. As a side note, Sri Nammalvar's Suzh visum panimughil is one of my favorites and I have waited eagerly for Sri Madhavakannan's note for the meanings. This dream happened the same night that I read Sri Madhavakannan's posting. Several times in the past, i have had dreams of visiting a koil (usually Tirumalai), but this is definitely different. Although, I am beyond pleased with the experience, but I think it is too strange to be good. But weird, that I am, it comes as no surprise. I would appreciate any input, even if it confirms my weirdness (might actually heave a sigh of relief).

Guest guest Posted October 23, 1998 Report Share Posted October 23, 1998 the grace Sriman Narayana is truly amazing. you could be standing next to hundreds of people and watching the sunset and He may be completely invisible to you while being completely visible to someone else. seeing Him in a dream -- either in some direct form or in a somewhat indirect form like you have is considered really auspicious. rejoice, my friend .... and pray that everyone gets the grace of the Divya Dampathis and becomes as weird as ever... ha, what a blissful state that would be ! > > vasan [sMTP:vasan] > Friday, October 23, 1998 2:03 PM > bhakti > Weird or Good? > > Please accept my pranamams... > There's something i think I experienced, which I am not sure is either > weird or > good. > A couple of nights back, I had a strange dream.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 1998 Report Share Posted 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 .
