My journal of small revelations

[Guest guest]

Dear Sai Readers,

 

The following is an entry from my journal from around this time last year. Ever since I had those dreams, I started keeping a journal so I could start watching and recording my experiences, my dreams and my thoughts. 2008 has been an eye-opening year for me. Somewhere in the middle of the year, I had a thought during one of my meditations that I should share my journal with other people like me, my Sai family. I know my journey is just beginning, and I have a long way to go, so I don’t know if and when this journal will have an end, but I will continue writing it, and see where it goes. I must say that these entries pretty much wrote themselves – I start with a word or a sentence, and then the rest of it comes out on its own – or more like someone is making the words

come out of my pen and hands, with no thoughts or efforts of my own – I’m amazed when I put down my pen, and go back to read them – the words seem so wise, and profound – nothing like me. So this journal has become my teacher, a channel for Swami to write through me. I figured I could start sending my entries to this newsgroup – each of them on the dates I had written them, one year ago. I hope they will be useful and thought provoking for you all as well.

 

Sai Ram and Love,

Sai Sravanthi

The Three Dreams

 

The Loving Mother

The setting was in Prashanti Nilayam, a warm summer afternoon. Akhil and I were running and playing in the area between West Prashanti 4 and 5 buildings, under the shady trees. Akhil was running, and I was chasing him – we were both laughing. He climbed up a water pipe, and onto the balcony of the second floor. I was about to follow him, but looked up and stopped abruptly, when I saw Akhil stop abruptly – because Swami was sitting at a table, eating lunch. He looked up and saw each of us.

 

It was a simple dream, but it felt beautiful and real. It felt like he was looking over us, as a mother would, watching over her children at play.

 

The Pearl of Wisdom

Hanuman, in glorious colors, so beautiful and real, deep-dove out of an ocean, and brought out a big perfect creamy white pearl, and placed it in my hands.

 

The Light

I was sitting in the Puja room, singing a Devi Bhajan, and there was a bright bluish white light in the middle of my forehead, the size of a coin.

 

 

 

 

I had these three dreams right before 2008 year started. I’ve never had these sorts of dreams before in my life, but they were each vivid and powerful – and I had all three of them in the short space of a few nights. They were each very distinctly different, and even though seemingly simple, I knew and felt they were very meaningful to me at this time in my life. I feel a subtle opening of my heart, my senses, my being. I sense that the coming year may be revelatory – I don’t know how, but I feel something moving inside me, something opening up. So I wrote them down, and now I’m waiting to see what is going to happen.
