Meeting an Indian Lady Who is also a Devoted Vaishnav.

 Dreamed I was riding on a bus and a young woman was next to me. We didn't know each other and we were talking casually. I wasn't looking directly at her cuz in real life I usually avoid eye contact cuz that feels more comfortable for me. For some reason at one point she asked me "Are you into the Bhagavad Gita?" I then looked at her in surprise. I said, "Yeah, I love Krishna and I love reading the Srimad Bhagavatam! Are you a vaishnav?" She replied, "Yes! I am!" We were both very happy to meet a stranger who was also a vaishnav. We clapped our two hands together like a double high-five. She was a young Indian woman about 20 years old or so.  

(Comment: "Vaishnav" means someone who is very devoted to Lord Krishna.)

Her Indian parents were sitting nearby. They weren't spiritual but they were okay with their daughter being spiritual.

Then she and I started talking about having a Krishna focused bhakti (devotional) event at her place with bhajans (devotional songs), chanting and pujas (ritual worship of Lord Krishna). We talked about the details about where to have it, who to invite, etc. It was fun being with another person who had strong devotion to Lord Krishna.

Then the scene shifted and we were at the event. Some of the altar items we needed started to magically float into the room and that was pretty cool.
