That weekend, we went to Maryland from Pennsylvania to visit a friend of ours. They were Sai devotees then. Thurssday night I see Baba briefly in my dream. I request Him to perform Gopal's sacred thread ceremony and bless him. Swami says "there are no muhurthams (astrologically suitable dates) then".
Actually, we were corresponding with Rao's brother and he in turn with the astrologers in India for good dates.
The next day, which was a Friday, I had another dream. Swami was coming onto the stage from the back of the stage to give a speech or there was going to be a bhajan. I was waiting on the side, like in a 'green room'. I walk towards Swami and I say "Swami, I will not be able to attend the bhajans today. I have to go. But I want to ask you something" He nods His head in approval. I add "Swami, yesterday in my dream you said that there are no muhurthams in March. But the astrologers gave March 5th, 9th and 12th as good choices". Swami says "March 5th and 9th are not good. On 12th, there is no muhurtham at all". I walk away with my hands still folded in reverence.
When we return home, we have a letter from India waiting for us, says exactly what Baba told me in the dream.
Later on we performed the Upanayanam on June 17th, 1987 in Rao's hometown machilipatnam.
