In one of my mystical dreams, I found myself in a large medieval temple, and in the center of the temple, Sathya Sai Baba was sitting in an armchair. In the temple, there were many people of different nationalities who spoke different languages. Everyone present had the opportunity to approach Sathya Sai Baba and have a short talk with him.
I realized that this was a dream. I didn’t have any question, as I understood that Sathya Sai Baba had to tell me something very important. When I approached him, he looked at me carefully and said that in three weeks and four days a teacher would come to Moscow, with whom I would meet. I moved away from Sathya Sai Baba, went to the exit of the temple, and immediately woke up.
At that time, I lived in Moscow. As the appointed day approached, I began to look more closely at what would happen. Sathya Sai Baba did not give me any details in the dream. All I knew was the day on which, according to Sathya Sai Baba’s predictions, I was supposed to meet some important teacher in my life.
As the appointed day approached, my excitement intensified. Finally, I learned that a Tibetan Lama, who belongs to the ancient Nyingma school of Buddhism, had come to Moscow. To my surprise, the beginning of his seminar fell perfectly on the day that I calculated, according to my dream.
As there was a day left before the seminar, I called the seminar coordinator. A young man picked up the phone, and I introduced myself, saying I wanted to sign up for the seminar starting tomorrow. Silence followed. The young man was extremely surprised. At first, I did not understand what he meant. The young man explained the reason for his surprise.
Usually, the Lama sets several conditions for the organizers, one of which was that everyone who wanted to take part in the seminar must apply at least a month in advance. After that, the lists of participants were given to the Lama, and he performed numerous rituals on these names in order to energetically prepare all participants for the deep meditation and mantra practices that he taught during the seminar.
The young man I spoke to on the phone said that something strange happened this time, the Lama said that on the last evening before the seminar, a person would call and want to sign up. The Lama instructed to enroll in the seminar the one who called on the last evening. The young man said in surprise that he understood that the Lama had me in mind. I was also very surprised.
The next day I came to the seminar that lasted a week. Despite the fact that I saw this Lama for the first time, there was a clear feeling that I knew him well. At the last class, when I approached the Lama for a blessing, he said, “I am very glad that you have come.” There was something very close and dear in his voice, and memories of past lives stirred in my heart.
Actually, I never became a Buddhist, probably it was important for me to meet this Lama and study under his guidance for some time. I know quite a lot of people whom Sathya Sai Baba has guided along the path of life through experiences of mystical dreams.
