I WAS HERE AS JESUSBhau Kalchuri |
They visited Saint Mark's Square at 11:30 A.M., and at the suggestion of the gopis, it was decided to enter the church. Outside, Baba explained the church's architecture and its spiritual significance. He had them count and write down the number of pillars, domes and arches, which came to exactly one hundred and twenty. Baba indicated, "This church is one of he four great spiritual centers of Europe. The whole structure corresponds to the Avatar's twelve disciples of the inner circle and one hundred and eight disciples of the outer circles." Baba then revealed, "I was here as Jesus with two of my apostles one month before my crucifixion and sat on the exact spot where Saint Mark's was later built." Baba entered the church with the men, but rules barred the women from entering.
They then returned to the hotel for lunch and went again to
Saint Mark's Square at four in the afternoon. At the request of
his lovers, their photographs were individually taken with Baba
feeding the pigeons. Copyright 1990 Lawrence Reiter |
