Events I would like to remember

Events I would like to remember

Yesterday, three events that happened during the last 5 - 6 years came to my mind. I felt I should record them in my blog lest I forget.

This happened in 2004. The day after taking part in a 5-day-long Human Process Lab, I attended a workshop on ‘Bar coding’. I didn’t know anybody in the gathering. Right from the front of the hall a man came walking towards me and said vanakkam. He said there was an aura around me and he wanted to meet me. He introduced himself as a manufacturer and exporter of knitted garments from Thirupoor. He even rang me up a few years later asking for my blessings. I don’t remember his name or have his card.

During my visit to Sydney in 2006, I was sitting in the annexure of a public library with a coffee shop facility. I comfortably settled down with a cup of coffee, to read / go through the few books and magazines I have selected from the library.

With in few minutes I noticed that a man sitting at a table across from me is looking at me, holding a paper in his trembling hands. Whenever I lifted my head from my book, I saw him sitting there and looking at me. I ignored him and continued with my reading. After nearly an hour, when I was ready to leave I still found the man in the same situation. Being in a public place, I found it safe to talk to him. I approached him at his table and asked him what is the matter, why he is staring at me. He trembled more noticeably and said he wanted to talk to me but was afraid. He handed over to me the paper he was holding. It was only a torn sheet of paper. In it he has written ‘I worship you Goddess’. I didn’t know what to make of it and asked him why he had written that. He said he had visited India in his younger days and looking at me he was so fascinated by me.

On the way back to India, after a stopover at Singapore, my sister called for a taxi to drop me off at the airport. When the taxi driver saw me he made a quick gesture of being ‘taken aback’. He said there was a powerful force coming from me. While driving, he repeatedly looked at me through the rear-view mirror and shook his head in disbelief.

I attributed the last two events to the energy I must have gained by my ‘base-walk’ of the Ayer’s Rock in Australia. http://www.australianexplorer.com/uluru.htm

And looking back with this awareness at the first incident at the ‘Bar Coding’ workshop, I feel the ‘meditative way’ of the proceedings of the Human Process Lab must have had a calming effect on me.

But what I find amazing is that it was visible to three people totally unconnected with my day-to-day life. It was so strong and powerful that they didn’t hesitate to express it to a total stranger.

May be I too have such moments when I could recognize the inner glow (or is it the soul?) of people I meet. I need to be more conscious of it to realize it.
