INDIAN MONK’S DREAM
SEQUEL IN LONDON GOLDEN IMAGE FOUND An extraordinary story of the materialisation of a dream is related from the Gaudia Mission at West Kensington, of which Lord Zetland is the president. Pundit Goswami, a Hindu monk attached to the mission, recently saw in a dream an image of the god Vishnu. Musing on the dream, he was walking through the Queen’s Club gardens, near the tennis courts, when he saw the golden image of his dream lying under a tree. Taking it home, he installed the image in the shrine at which he worships daily, offering fresh flowers from the garden. The image will be installed in the Hindu temple to be built in London, for which the Maharaja of Tripura is giving £IOO,000.
The image is of solid gold, six inches long, and has four hands holding gifts. Pundit Goswami believes that this London discovery is the image of the god worshipped by many millions of Hindus. He says it signifies great days for England and for the Crown.
