Daily Reflection October 6

[Guest guest]

Daily ReflectionOctober 6 - SadhuAt the same point in his puja every

day, and at a different time of day while his eyes were closed and he

was performing meditaion 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
