Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Daily Reflection October 6 - Sadhu At the same point in his puja every day, and at a different time of day while his eyes were closed and he was performing mediation and doing japa (reciting the mantra of the deity), a man dressed in orange clothes with an orange turban wrapped on his head went up to Swamiji and put a mala (garland of flowers) around his neck and smeared his forehead with ashes. I witnessed this daily for nine consecutive days. On the last day, Swamiji started his puja while the doors were still locked. And yet, even with the doors bolted shut, the same man still came and placed a garland around Swamiji's neck and smeared his forehead with ashes. After we left the temple and headed back to our rooms that last morning, Shree Maa turned to us and said, "Did you see that man who put ashes on Swamiji's forehead and put a mala around his neck?" "Yes," we replied. "That man was Shiva." from Sahib Sadhu The White Sadhu Copyright 2001 Devi Mandir Publications First Edition www.shreemaa.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
