A gift of red cloth

The visit to Yellapur

During a short trip to Yellapur, we visited  a friend on the way. While leaving their house, the lady of the house gave me haldi kumkum and a red blouse piece. When I held that blouse piece in my hand, I felt that it was trying to give me some message. I couldn’t grasp it then.

The hotel we stayed in was new. 

When I opened the window of our room in the first floor, I saw the BalaTripurasundari temple on one side and Dattatreya temple on the opposite side. 

                                                          BalaTripurasundari temple 

                                                              Dattatreya temple

It was a serene and peaceful place.

Instruction in the dream

Next morning I woke up with a dream giving me instruction to take out that red blouse piece to sit on during my morning chanting. A few months back I had started chanting a particular mantra which needed to be done 108 times daily for six months, sitting on a red cloth. I had stitched a red cover for the cushion I sat on while chanting. This process was taking me deeper and deeper day by day.

So even during the travel, the ritual was made complete. It is amazing when you are in tune with the Universe, how even the small details are taken care of!
