A Divine Encounter

7th November, 2021
Sunday
Vasad, Gujarat

I saw him for the first time but it felt like I saw him again after many eons. There was a strong familiar feeling softly yet surely pulling me towards him.
Yet he looked new. There was a sudden surge of joy within me finding ways to be expressed.

The external pleasant fragrance resonated with every ounce of my being. He appeared like a strong white mountain of peace walking ever so lightly.
I was unsure if I wanted to cry or jump with joy.

I rubbed my eyes several times to believe what was in sight today. After all, it was HIM; my soft yet powerful guiding light waving lovingly at everyone.

His compassionate urge for everyone to meditate in exchange of accepting gifts reminded me of my mother negotiating her way into inculcating good habits in me. His presence flew through me like a gentle shower would.

When I chanted AUM with Him, I felt as though every bird, leaf and river was chanting along with me. In silence, I kept rising closer and closer towards Him.

As His Holiness Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar prepared to leave, my heart longed for Him already. I’m unsure if it were the divine chants or the divine atmosphere that cleansed me and awakened me out of a deep unknown slumber.

I can still feel His presence linger around and within me like Divine armor.
