Home Ā» Spirituality Ā» Often when I go into solitude for meditationš§āāļø for a prolonged period interesting things happen. Prophetic dreams, etc. 1.5 years ago I was down with covid and couldnāt see anyone for a week. I was feeling very bad and spent entire days sleeping. One day, I woke up from such a heavenly dream that I will never forget that experience. The dream was very very simple ā it was me walking around some āschoolā if it can even be called thatā with a few friends. The location was in some picturesque place in the nature. And I literally felt when I woke up that I wish I had NEVER woken up. It was such a deep feeling of loss that I experienced when I woke up because what I felt in the dream was just absolute Bliss. There is simply no other way to describe that state. And I bet in life there is no experience that can compare with the state of supreme serenity, absolute happiness, and joy beyond all imagination. Just wanted to share this because I havenāt felt that way since, and I still donāt know why that beautiful experience came in the middle of my illness. Could it be that my mind was completely shut off at that point in time, so I could experience something much deeper?

A withdrawl from the waking state is anyways conducive to an awakening into the inner worlds some of which, as this one, are far more beautiful than we can imagine. This was possibly the subtle physical world where you entered.
Affectionately,

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the mainĀ Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …
The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (ą¤øą¤¤) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
