Another dream :)


It is one of the rarest dreams again and a dream to be cherished for a lifetime.Well this morning my friend was describing about HH.Radhanath Swami Maharaj and his disciples and how grateful they were and how devoted they were to their Guru Maharaj.How they served him with love and awe always!So keeping all this in mind i read the Caitanya Bhagavata, the devotee who very very mercifully gave as he always does :) and hence i slept and then the dream comes as i sleep :)
It was a great day in Orissa,bright and sunny, and i have no idea how i landed from Secunderabad to Orissa :) and yes it must be the Lords mercy.As Srila Prabhupada says life is just like a long dream and these dreams when we sleep,we imagine flying,being with someone etc.Well am not taking anyone on an imagination tour!! Well yes it was a wonderful day in Jagannath Puri Dham.I and my friend were there.There were a few other people too.It was a wonderful place given to stay.As usual i began to stroll leaving my friend behind who decided to sleep.Krsna's mercy :D and then i was walking through the lanes of Jagannath Puri totally mesmerized by the tranquility of the atmosphere.Then i came to a wonderful lane,where houses looked really ancient and they were so beautiful.It reminded me of our house in Srirangam :) Then as i walked past the streets alone and then there was some discussion around and i realized that there were Iskcon devotees around and i thought what mercy!!As i moved further i realized the preacher was none other than HH.Radhanath Swami Maharaj. I was so thrilled and i always longed to see him.His purity attracted everyone and made the stone hearted people cry!He always preached the best and sang wonderfully.Maharaj saw me and he gave a huge smile and it captured in my heart and invited me in.I was wearing a blue salwar :P Then Maharaj immediately concluded the lecture and called me.I went and paid obeisances and sat beside him,just a few feet away from him.He asked me how are you and how is your sadhana and other things and i replied back with great enthusiasm :)
As i sat beside him i felt his purity,the force which can inundate everyone with the love of God,the purity due to his association with Srila Prabhupada one of the greatest Acaryas.There was a divine spark in his face.He started telling me about the pastime of how Lord Krsna loved the cows.Each moment seemed so wonderful to me.Every second was exciting.I never spoke a word about Varnasrama and Maharaj started describing something really wonderful.He said a sentence''Very soon the whole world will be flooded with Harinaama and Pure Love of God'' and he said we need all devotees to make it come true.I looked around.It was a beautiful house.Everything seemed similar like i knew the house for years :) There was a mataji who was Maharaj's disciple and she gave me many services which i did with full enthusiasm.It was 5 in the evening and i was wondering to visit the other places too.Maharaj then got up.When he did the mat was filled with the dust of his Lotus Feet which was golden in color.Wow it looked like someone has powdered gold.He then went inside.Then Maharaj returned and asked mataji for a glass of water.Mataji asked me to get some water and took use of the opportunity.I immediately and carefully filled a huge glass of water and handed it over to Maharaj which he took carefully and humbly replied thank you.I dint know what to say but just smiled and bowed!
It was getting a bit late.Then there was a prabhuji who had come there. He looked like the prabhuji whom i saw in Namashraya farm [;)] Then mataji asked me to wipe the floor.As i looked around there was so much of dust of the Lotus Feet of Maharaj.I immediately took a piece of paper and carefully collected the dust and smeared some over my head so that i can get some Prema Bhakti.Then after doing so i still dint want to wipe the floor.Mataji reminded me that Maharaj would come back for kirtana and lecture so i immediately took a cloth and started wiping the floor with a bit of sadness.Then Maharaj came and reminded me of the Gundica temple cleaning :) and how cleaning the place of worship is cleaning our hearts!Then arrived a few disciples of Maharaj and there was a beautiful lecture on how the Lotus Feet of the Lord is :) It was so blissful.Maharaj just touched the hearts of everyone.As i looked on the opposite side of the road,i realized and saw a temple of 2 Govardhan Silas.One was black and he looked very very pretty.I realized i forgot to get my camera and was upset over it.I was upset and i wanted to take a picture of Maharaj so close.Then after the lecture many disciples left and there were only 2 others remaining.I was tempted to ask Maharaj how long he would stay here and i really did[real guts :D]Maharaj beamed with a huge smile and he replied that he would be here for about 5 more days and i was overjoyed. And i was even more happy because i could bring the camera and take pictures :) and i still looked at Giriraja and he was so adorable :) I asked permission from Maharaj whether i could leave and took his blessings and he smiled again.He asked me ''DO YOU WANT GIRIRAJA?'',the black Giriraja? and i was so surprised.I dint know what to say.I couldn't believe my eyes and he said he would give it to me when i come tomorrow with a camera :) and asked me to go back to the ashrama soon and then devotees shouted Haribol!!What fortune they said! Yes i was really very fortunate and it was the most fortunate dream.
Then i hear a voice,get up Preethi,its late,go to the temple for your classes.I realized hey i wasn't in Orissa :D but yes it was one of the most treasured dream of getting Giriraja by HH.Radhanath Maharaj's hands.[wow :)] and i just wish it happens.When i got up i was just filled with so much of happiness which i cant express and immediately i start to smile and remember Giriraja and can just say ''GOVARDANO ME DISATAM ABHISTAM'' which means May that Govardhana fulfill Your desire :) and yes i just pray that he fulfills it. :)

Jagannath Puri Dham ki Jaya!
Giriraj Maharaj ki Jaya!
HH.Radhanath Swami Maharaj ki Jaya!
Transcendental dreaming ki Jaya :D
Nitai Gaura Premanande....Hari Hari Bol!!!!
