Ref Holy Mother

 

In this connection we are giving in full, a

remarkable dream which Maharaj had about Holy Mother.

It had been recorded by Maharaj himself and was found

after his passing away: “2 June 1968: Early morning at

4.30 am had a vivid dream. I was going with a few

monastic brothers to an ashrama where special puja was

being organized. I saw puja materials, flowers, and

offerings already arranged and getting arranged.

Several separate puja vessels and pictures of Thakur,

Mother and Swamiji were there in the same pandal. I

went to make pranams to the Mother’s picture in one of

the groups; as soon as I saluted, Holy Mother came out

of the picture in living form and touching me asked me

to attend to washing some of the puja vessels yet

remaining unwashed. Her touch sent a thrill of joy

through me when I realized that it was not the picture

that was before me but the all-loving living Mother

Herself. Ah! The joy of it! I placed my head in her

lap and saluted again and weepingly asked her to show

her living loving form to me at least once a day. She

agreed and enfolded me in her arms with an expression

of unutterable love and tenderness. Then I went to

wash the puja vessels with a deep sense of joy and

blessedness and I woke up in great joy and looked at

the pictures of Guru Maharaj and Raja Maharaj in the

room prayerfully. I looked at the watch and found it

was 4.35 am. This was my first dream of the Holy

Mother. I had a blessed dream of Guru Maharaj at

Mayavati during my last visit in 1952 or 1960 and

again in the Institute in 1963. Recorded at 11.30 am

on 2.6.68. R.”
