Train ride with Mahaperiyava

06/15/2007

In this dream, I am going on a train with HH Paramacharya. He looks old in this dream. I am helping Him wearing a seat-belt kind of thing on the seat. Nobody in the compartment could recognize Him as he is not covering His head with the cloth or carrying the dhandam. The TTE comes checking for tickets and once he sees Paramacharya, he chants “Jaya Jaya Shankara” and does his namaskaram to Him. Train started to move and it stopped at some odd place for some crossing or so. As everyone gets off the train to stretch, Paramacharya hears about a temple nearby. He also wants to get down. I am holding His feet and help Him carefully place on the foot steps of the train as they are steep for aged people. I notice that His legs are very thin below the knee – I think to myself that this must be from all the walking He did when He was young. Finally He gets down and He goes to that temple. I am also going with Him. At one point, we realize that the train has started to move slowly. So I am running real fast to get into the train to pull the chain so that I could go back to Periyava and help Him board. But Once I jump in the train and look back, I notice that an image of Periyavaa running moving much faster than the train to board. I am surprised on how this could be possible at His age.

Once again – for my pea brain, I am unable to interpret the sookshmams from such dreams. Once again, I am simply happy and glad that I saw Him in the dream.

Jaya Jaya Shankara Hara Hara Shankara
