And I was the pavilion rider with my friend driving the scooty. Then she starts to swerve left to another long road …parallel to the one we were on. I looked around after the roommate’s warning and I saw leopards on three sides. So, I get off and run inside a home, or more like closed stalls, but it had doors that led to more stalls in the back, side and left. Like one stall led to another with an open roof. Like in Takeshi’s castle. One door led to another.
And the leopard looks at me from above and leaves. I freeze and try to be as quiet as possible. I try to hide as well, but nothing works. But they don’t harm. Just look at me. And leave. But I felt scared. One time I hid behind a door to stay away and let one leopard pass without seeing me. They were all yellow, but there was one black panther.
Scene changed and I was in my maternal grandmother’s home. And there in the middle of the verandah, there was one person sitting and saying it’ll not harm. There was a huge black panther. Just don’t let it bite you.
Then that panther, after a while, came and bit me in the back of my thigh and I tried to push it away.. I forcefully tried to move its head, but it was not working and I succeeded, but there was a huge bite mark on me and I showed it to the person and he said, ” No, no. It has not cut deep enough to poison you. It’ll be okay. Leave it like that. You’ll be fine.” That person seemed to be my deceased Maternal Grandfather. But I am not sure who it was.
But the thing is… the two friends have come into my dreams… always as if it is a warning to be cautious around them. But it’s me who is always talking too much around them. But I do feel very tense when I am around them. Especially when they talk. The tone of their voice makes me unsettled. But being this sensitive to things just hurts me in the end. I try to remember Maa, but I usually forget in the flow of conversations.
It is a clear indication to stay a little away from these two persons who, in some way, are open to wrong forces. When in the presence of such people, remember the Divine Mother inwardly and say in your heart, ‘Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa’. I will give you a blessings packet next time we meet.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
