THE SHOCKING DREAM !!!

[Guest guest]

"Swami, yesterday you said you were Rama and today you are saying you are Krishna!" said a Brahmin scholar named Brahmam who was the only priest in the Mandir in those days. (April 1960) – See photos of Sai Rama, Sai Krishna, Sai Muruga and Prashanthi Mandir in the 60s.

To that, Swami simply said, "I am everything!!!"

"I had had enough of all this. I just got into my car and drove away from Puttaparthi, straight to my hometown. I was deeply devoted to Lord Muruga who had saved me once from death when I was very sick, and also from many other situations", reacted Mr. Chidambaram Krishnan.

I then left home and went straight to Tiruchendur, Tamil Nadu to worship Lord Muruga there. (See photos of the tallest statue of Lord MURUGA at the foot of Batu Caves, KUALA LUMPUR, Jan. 29, 2006)

That night, I was fast asleep & around 4.30 A.M., I had a strange dream where I saw myself standing before the idol of Lord Muruga in Tiruchendur, with His consorts Valli and Deivayanai on either side of Him. I had in my hands, flowers and fruits for offering to Him. Suddenly, all the three idols came alive, and I could see all of them laughing loudly.

Valli and Deivayanai then began to say to Lord Muruga, "This is a madcap. Why are you giving him Darshan?"

On hearing this I became angry and retorted, "No, I am not mad."

The two consorts now turned to me and said, "You are mad, and nothing but mad. That's why you do not understand anything!"

Meanwhile, Lord Muruga disappeared, and in his place there now appeared an 'old man.' Deivayanai tells this old man, "This is a mad fellow; he does not understand anything. Why then are you giving Darshan to this fellow?" (The old man was none other than Shirdi Sai as I realized later!)

Once again I protest, asserting loudly that I was not mad by any means. While this was going on, the old man fades away and in His place I see Swami!!!

Now our Swami is with the two consorts of Lord Muruga on either side; and they all were laughing. Once again I was described as mad and once again I registered my protest!

Even as I was arguing furiously an elephant appeared looking rather menacing and I was frightened. Suddenly something happens and I blurt out, "I now understand; they are all the same."

Valli then demands of me, "At least from now on, would you behave yourself?"

Feebly, I reply, "Yes."

Get inspired: A devotee, filled with the love of the Lord, welcomes what may appear as punishing as something intended for his good. Even when the Lord appears to be angry, His compassion is evident. Even in punishment God's kindness will be seen. Hence no one should cherish grievance that he or she has been singled out for punishment. Even punishment is a means of leading one to God. The display of anger is for safeguarding the devotee. The true devotee is one who recognizes this truth and welcomes whatever happens to him as intended for his good. - BABA
