Jai Ma
It was a wonderful day on 26th April, when at the usual Satsang, something divine and poignant happened.
To aid in concentration and help meditate, I started focussing on the photo of Periya Swamiji, His Holiness Swami Sri Vidya Dos. Just as I was reciting the Guru Mantra, i suddenly was overcome by a nice vibration and saw that instead of Periya Swamiji's face, I could see a face of Ramakrishna Paramahamsar. During this period my vision was very focussed and the whole field of vision was blank and covered by a green tint. Only the photo of Swamiji remained in my vision. I could feel how Arjuna saw only the eye of the Bird. This was the first time that I had such a single minded concentration.
Surprised as I was, I immediately mentally venerated to Sri Ramakrishnar. While this was done, the image slowly dissolved in the green tint. Again, another face emerged out of the tint, and I was able to recognise the face of Sri Ramanar. I was indeed awed. I again paid my mental obeisance. Slowly, like a slide show, I could see a stream of faces of great spiritual leaders. Each appearing and upon a mental veneration slowly fading away. It was like a parade. I could see, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Adi Shankara, Sri Bharathi Theertha Maha Swamigal of Sringeri and Sri Jayendrar of Kanchi, Sri Vijayendrar of Kanchi, Kundrakudi Adigalar, Aurobindo, Sri Trichy Swamigal of Mysore, and a host of faces in Sanyasi attire whom I could not recognise. More to my surprise, I saw Mother Teresa. That was a profound moment. Tears started to flow from my eyes. I also saw, Sri Yogi Ram Surat Kumar, Mata Amritanandamayi, Sri Jaggi Vasudev, Shridi Sai Baba. I even saw Guru Nanak, Guru Hargobind Singh. I could not recognise a few muslim saints.
Overall, it was a wonderful moment. I could feel that everyone blessed me with that vision.
After the satsang, I sat thinking about what happened.
The first thoughts were that I just realised that all the above great souls were giving the teachings and blessings through Periya Swamiji who acted through My Venerable Guru, Swamiji, Swami Sri Gomathi Dos.
So I could see my Guru as the one who could provide me with the whole summation of all divine teachings. I need not seek for anything beyond what my Guru teaches me. What I need to know - is taught by my Guru. What I deserve to know is imparted promptly by my Guru.
I once again prostrated to Swamiji mentally and made a resolution once again to totally surrender and dedicate myself to his lotus feet. I also thanked him mentally for having bestowed on me such a vision.
Jai Ma.
