Timely message

I was in Dandeli forest with family. We checked into the guest house, had a nice lunch and took some rest. In the evening we got out to see the surroundings and what awesome scene it was! Thick jungles all around and sounds of many birds.

Unfortunately there was no mobile connection and we had to make some important calls. The care taker told that there was a tower  about fifteen minutes walk away and there we would get the connection. There was still some time for dinner and we thought of making the calls before dinner. All of us walked towards the tower. It was quite dark and we used the mobile light to see the path.


My husband switched off the mobile and said the whole road was better visible in the moon light. Suddenly some thing clicked inside me. I told ‘Let’s go back. We will take the car and go to the tower’.  First they told, ‘Its ok, let’s walk’. But the message that I got was strong and I insisted that we go back. So all of us went back to the guest house. The care taker who was at the gate told,’ Sir you should not go walking in the dark. Many wild animals come from the surrounding jungles into the road. Even black panther has been spotted recently’. We thanked our stars and the care taker for the warning.

The power of a thread

We were with our friends when they visited a pujari. It was an auspicious day and the pujari tied sacred thread on their wrists. We got the threads tied on our wrists too. Being sensitive to the vibrations, I was not very comfortable with the thread on my wrist. At the same time I didn’t want to remove it as long as we were with the friends. When we took leave of them, I promptly removed it from my hand.



If I was my older self, I would have asked my husband also to remove the thread from his hand, but I have traveled a long way in my spiritual journey. Some things are better learned by self experience

After four months, we had to attend another puja ceremony. My husband wanted me to remove the old thread from his wrist before attending the puja and I cut it off. Next day morning, he remarked that all these days when the thread was on his hand, his sleep was disturbed. He used to get weird dreams, and used to remember them in detail. Four days later again he told me that it was good the thread was removed.

Even a thread from one person can carry vibrations that may or may not suit another person. So it is important to be careful while using another person’s things.
