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 :)

I am glad you shared the much needed time and space with HIM.. am sure you had great fun.. nice post as usual.. liked 'nothingness' as well since I too am not alien to that feeling..
