hi, Pavani --

you're very lucky, to see Shirdi Baba in a dream.

water in the eyes of a saint is a top top top blessing -- the tears of a supernatural soul are not normal tears. they are coming from his soul and convey super high energy.

that your grandfather died on Guru Purnima is a great boon from Shirdi Baba and the whole Dattatreya lineage. it's an incredible blessing for him to move on from this life during this high spiritual energy time, and to be directly in the Mother's lap. Guru Purnima is the time to receive amazing boons from one's guru lineage, guru parampara -- it sounds as if your grandfather received a great blessing indeed, to be able to drop this body and the pains and cares of this physical lifetime, during the full moon of the gurus.

it's really a cause for celebration -- not for grief. be happy for your grandfather; he is finished with this incarnation, with this lifetime, and is free for a while, as a soul. it's a beautiful transition, nothing at all to be sad about.

of course you'll all miss him -- but don't disturb his soul with your sadness. send him your great love, instead. always send your love when you're thinking about your grandfather, then his soul will be so happy and relieved.

about the dream and connection to your grandfather's passing -- who can say? only Sai knows for sure.

my feeling, though -- Baba has already cried for your grandfather. you and your family don't need to.

namaste, sister -- god bless you.

hi pavani
many lucky people who have dreamt of sai baba have dreamt of him and us touching his feet or tryin to touch his feet..

in my case..he didnt allow me to touch his feet...i got woken up at the exact time i was going to bow down to a sai idol in my dream.when i read the sai satcharitra that day i came across the chapter which says that the guru and the disciple are one and the same and the disciple bowing down to the guru is onyl an external form.internally they both are one and the same and there is no difference between them and those who see any difference between them are yet unripe.


in one of my friends case,she bowed to his feet and he bowed back to her feet.

in yet another dream of my acquaintance.she saw herself as a kid tryin to touch baba's feet but he stops her and asks her to sit in his lap and play and not bother about touching his feet.

hope this is of some use.
all he is trying to tell you is that u and him are the same.the soul that runs in you is afterall a part of his own soul.

god bless u and ur one of the lucky ones to dream of him.
dont let him go :)
