Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 ||Om Brihaspataye Namah|| Dear Jyotishas, Sometime back there was an interesting thread on nimittas. I wish to narrate my own experience yesterday evening which happened around 6 pm. I am a researcher working at an university here and I felt a need to take some snacks. So I went to the ground level (my office is on the 5th level) and took some snacks from a vending machine nearby. When returning back to the lift lobby area, my nose was assailed by a familar smell similar to the fragrance generated by putting crushed incense powder on burning, glowing hot coals (you will get some fragrant smoke also). Now I got very curious to know where that smell is coming from and struggled in vain to locate the source of that smell. This fragrant smoke offering is normally done only for poojas and in temples and therefore I thought it very strange that this smell should come in a busy university area! It is not possible but I could smell it distinctly for a minute or so. Later that night, in my pooja area, instead of lighting agarbathi (long incense sticks) as I normally do, I chose to light the same instant incense- coal plug which gives the same smell!! Now my question is: can strange and unexpected smells be taken as nimittas also? If the answer is Yes, how are they to be interpreted? How would you interpret the experience I had described? Have you had similar experiences also? regards Hari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
