There's Something about butterflies...
There is! There really is!
If you notice what I am about to share...maybe you might just agree with me....
Every time i think of someone special who i have lost...who has passed on to the other world....there comes a pretty pretty butterfly fluttering near me as if to say- yes! i am watching over you and I miss you too~! :)
This has happened so many times now, that i am convinced...butterflies are our angels in disguise....
Just last evening...i was sitting in my garden and thinking of my grandmom who passed on last year...this is our first diwali without her...and i truly am missing her....
Just when i got misty eyed, there she came....fluttering to me....right next to me....as if telling me ..."im always with you my child and im watching over you"..... and i instantly smiled and it fluttered away.......
and this is just one instance.....
Who sees butterflies at 9:00 pm :) ......

A trip to heaven and back........
Once again..2nd year in a row ..i left on my journey to "heaven" ....
Got there quite comfortably this time and all prepared unlike the last time where i had not carried a dupatta(which is like the most essential thing to carry - its like a "duh" moment i felt ) with me :)
This time we were there for 3 whole days....soaking ourselves in the glory of the Lord...
The darshans we had were spectacular.....nothing less than being ONE with HIM...
First evening there...the moment he was brought in....i felt my body shiver and got goose bumps....
ONly GOd can make one feel that way...was only too happy to see HIM and prayed for all of you :)
Beautiful bhajans....chanting of the vedas.... Swami smiling at us....looking in our direction most of the time...
A few times it felt as if it was only HIM and me in Prashanti Nilayam....everythign else was a blur....just Him and me...thats it....eye to eye contact...communicating each word clearly and me understanding each word too.!
ON our second evening there ..while queing up for tokens...my friend was the first one in line and she had to pick th token..1 2 and 3 were gone already ..she casually said "i wish i get the divine number 9" and guess what- yea! Swami proved it that he hears every word we speak! :)
The next day was Sunday - our last day there...Swami wasnt coming in the mornings for Darshan ...but that day HE knew it was our last day and we would miss His physical form immensely ...so He did come! :)
and what a darshan it was! Bliss i say!......
That evening...again while waiting in line to pick the token my friend said - "we shouldnt get anything beyond 3 ya its our last evening here" and i said "no compromising this evening - only ONE i say " and Yes...HE...the all knowing - all compassionate granted my wish :)
We were there...so close to HIM...looking at HIm...soaking in all the energy....saw him materialising chains for a few devottees who performed for HIM...How lucky and blessed are they!
Looking at it positively..i think we were lucky to even witness His miracles...:)
While all this was going on...ofcourse there were bhajans that were being sung....and we were immersed in HIs love....one after the other beautiful bhajans...
Just when one got over ..i dont know what and why...but i started to hum "manasa bhajore guru charanam" and Lo behold!!! that was the very bhajan which was sung next...i could stop the floodgates of my tear glands... :)
It was over whelming to know and experience how Swami listens to each thought that even passes our minds...:)
We saw each corner of parthi...went all over ... took loads of pics which will be up soon ..
It truly is "heaven"...and I miss it....dont like earth no more....
Wanna go back to HIS abode :)

....The state of "nothingness"....
Have you ever been in a state of "nothingness"?
What is the state of "nothingness"?
Its quite self explanatory- it just simply means - that you feel nothing. NO happiness. NO sadness. NO anger.NO greed.NO Jealousy.
Basically no reaction to anything.
I was in that state for 3 days....and believe me or not it was "Bliss"- its sad im back to the normal world which has all that one should not be attracted to....But i do not want to try too hard to be God.
Yes God does say "The only difference between you and me is that I realise I am God, and you don't" - Its true. Ive realised it.
Realising and staying in the realisation are 2 very different things.
Its how the mind works. When the wise say "Its all in the mind" - i know exactly what they mean. Its how you psyche yourself to feel. Same way try psyching yourself into the state of "Nothingness" ...its fun! :)
Nothing bothers you anymore. U r just one with yourself. Its like you surrender to the Universe...and you feel sooo light...
Ok i think ill quit here coz im begining to sound like i know all about everything - but the truth is i dont know everything...im just kind of getting there and loving it ! :)
I read this somewhere and really thought it was worth a mention -
"The only truth is - everyone does lie"
