Once Narada was roaming about and saw Bhakthi Mata in great distress because of the evil effects of the Kali age. She asked him if he would be able to go to Golokam and tell Lord Krishna about her problem. Golokam is that part of Vaikuntha which is the most inaccessible...very few devotees gain entry. There, Narayana is in the form of Krishna who is constantly immersed in the Rasaleela with Radha. Narada scoffed and said, "For me there is no place where I cannot go! I can reach a place merely by wishing it!" With that sort of ego, he left Bhakthi Mata and began proceeding to Golokam. But as he traveled in its direction, he found that suddenly everything began to mix up. He was not able to recognize which loka was what, he lost complete sense of direction. He found himself looping in the same place over and over again. He was shocked because he had been to Golokam many times before and he knew the way there. But here he couldn't even tell where he was! Finally he realized his mistake...how his ego had so distanced himself from the Lord. The moment he closed his eyes and surrendered to the Lord, he suddenly found himself in Golokam! Krishna then accosted him saying that only with His will can Narada enter Golokam, nothing to do with Narada's ability to travel everywhere. For us, our Golokam is Prasanthi Nilayam :D!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-60496023424442696982018-05-02T05:06:31.272+05:302018-05-02T05:06:31.272+05:30Sairam Aravind.

Possibly dreams are result of one's unexpressed thoughts hidden inside, in that sense lucid dreamers can control them.SWAMI never appeared in my dreams (am not aware of it), so have to go long way on spiritual path for HIM to will it. On the flip side HE willed it so I could visit Brindavan / Prashanthi nilayam and had HIS darshan. I am satisfied with that.Madhusudan Vithal Norihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735390916189269416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-80365330355821108642018-05-01T14:02:54.790+05:302018-05-01T14:02:54.790+05:30In fact this reminds me of a gentleman's exper...In fact this reminds me of a gentleman's experience I read few years ago.. can't place his name... He discovered that he could consciously travel astrally while in meditation. So it occurred to him that he could go to Parthy too... He sat for meditation and was soon travelling. He reached parthy... But somehow just could not enter the Kulwant hall for Darshans... He tried n tried.. but could not... He could not see Swami at all... A powerful force stopped him from entering... He returned with the realisation that it was not his choice to see Swami even in other dimensions of consciousness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-17455522481985916002018-05-01T09:19:34.641+05:302018-05-01T09:19:34.641+05:30Sairam...very happy to read this..sairam Sairam...very happy to read this..sairam Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974687482854724082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-20194756023166803942018-05-01T09:18:49.870+05:302018-05-01T09:18:49.870+05:30Sairam brother..
