Visions of Champaklal

A Vision at Nainital

1980

I looked at the compound of the building, at its right I saw a mountain. I was surprised as to how I had missed it at first.

It was not of ordinary rocks, but was made of multi-coloured layers, beautiful and shining. Steaming hot water was flowing out of them. The steam was spreading a particular type of pleasant fragrance all around in the surroundings. The steam, instead of being hot, had a cooling effect as it approached us, and the whole body was thrilled with joy. It could not be known to where this multi-coloured water flowed. Behind this mountain many well-decorated mountains were shining in various colours. The last one among them was very high, covered with snow. Normally, the snow is white, but this was glimmering with a golden colour. Some being of a golden colour was sitting on top of the mountain and was very clearly visible even at a great height. (That being was not a human being.)

[In response to our question, Champaklal answered that the 'being' was Lord Shiva.—Ed.]
