A few dreams to remember

In 2003 around February or March, I had suddenly started chanting more sincerely. Despite the daily hectic schedule at work, I was chanting 16 rounds. I was planning to take initiation from Shrila Bhakti Bhusan Govind Maharaj of Shri BSST Gaudiya Math , Rishra, West Bengal.
I had already taken Harinam initiation from Shrimad Bhakti Vikas Hrishikesh Goswami Maharaj in 1983.
Somehow, my spirit of devotion had declined over the years and I had become more influenced by the philosophies of Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill than by the Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta.

In 2003, due to various circumstances, I was going through a spiritual reawakening. I was visiting ISKCON Noida regularly.

One night I had a beautiful dream. Shrila A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja Prabhupada was sitting on the bed , smiling at me. It was a great dream indeed. HDG appeared for a moment and then disappeared from my vision.
