Kirankumari's Correspondence with The Mother

5 February 1940

My sweet Mother,

I had a very strange dream. It was a pranam day. All the sadhaks were in the meditation hall and one by one they were doing pranam—but not to you, Mother; one lady was sitting in your place. I was quite surprised. P was there. I asked him to whom are they doing pranam? She is a queen of some place, he said, and Mother told us to do pranam to her, so we should. But I did not like it, so I did not do pranam to her. Many people told me to do it, but I did not. They were very displeased with me.

I looked once more at that queen. She was laughing very much when people were making pranam, but it was not like when you smile, Mother. She laughed just like people laugh. Also she was blessing, but it was not like your blessing. When all finished doing pranam, I saw you, Mother. You were standing a little far away and you were smiling, not telling anything to anybody. After that, the lady got up and outside one car came and she went away in that car.

Has it any meaning Mother?

You did quite well to refuse to do pranam to this person.

My love and blessings to my dear child
