I had a very nice dream last night, and this Salagram Sila was the main Subject of it.
In this “dream” which occurred just before rising for mongol arotik, I was holding another sila, my smaller one, called Chota Giri Hari, and then the dream moved to me holding this sila above (His name is Padmanabha Prabhu). I started looking closely at Him and then noticed a crack that moved all across His blackish body. I could see that it was a large crack, so I found out that this Sila was now in two pieces, instead of one with, a top and bottom. Pulling the two pieces apart I found inside the lower part of Him, a small figure of a devotee holding a drum, and doing sankirtan with other similar devotees, all within this Salagram Sila. !!! The devotee holding the drum and leading the kirtan was about a half inch high, and there were several other devotees behind him, within the Sila chanting along.
Then I woke up.

ps-after mongol arotik, when I bathe all the Silas, I looked very closely at this one-unfortunately for me-no two pieces of the Sila, and sankirtan going on inside–oh well, it was an ecstatic dream anyway…..
