Dear Prabhus, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
This afternoon, after having fasted ’til about 2 p.m., I was experiencing a fairly bad headache, which is unusual for me. After breaking my fast, I took a nap, hoping that my headache would go away.
While napping, I had a very vivid dream about Srila Prabhupada. I dreamt that Srila Prabhupada suddenly reappeared in the context of present day ISKCON. He was as effulgent, strong and confident as ever. He wasn’t paying any particular attention to me, but it was as if I were simply an invisible witness to the events which were taking place.
Srila Prabhupada ordered that there be a meeting of the whole GBC. Then he said that others could also attend.
At that meeting, Srila Prabhupada very clearly and directly ordered that the ritvik system of initiations, which he himself started, should immediately be reinstated, and that anyone who wanted to initiate on his own behalf should start his own institution, and should not do so within ISKCON.
Even though I’d been discussing the BBTI court case with various devotees almost every day lately, Srila Prabhupada made no mention of it, and the thought never even crossed my mind while I was experiencing this particular dream.
Upon waking from my dream, I immediately went outside, where I noticed that many of the devotees whom I encountered seemed to greet me with an unusual amount of joy and enthusiasm.
I am not claiming that this dream has any particular significance, but for me at least, it was very special, and it was also very unusual.
Your servant,
Pratyatosa Dasa
