dear friends
i always had strong bhakti in general and specifically towards my ishta too
my ishta has taken many forms through the years, first it was Lord Siva and then it became Swami Chidananda (disciple of Swami Sivananda /Divine Life Society...not to be confused with another perosn who has the same name)
lately the bhakti towards my ishta is becoming sexual/tantric
when i lay down in bed i sponteeously imagine him holding me in spoon pose
the other day i was looking at one of his picture and i automatically said to myself "oh, my husband"
No sexual intercourse is imagined yet, but who knows, it might be imagined or not
anyway as a dear friend told me, luckily my ishta is no longer alive cause such intimacies can go wrong . I am safe from this danger
when my friend told me this, i understood why i never my ishta while he was still alive although he came to Lebanon many times and i visited his ashram few times: if i had met him in person i am sure i would leave everything behind and "run after him"[

and this is not very wise, in addition to the sexual mess, also there would be no one left to take care of the sickness of my mother and the death of my father
feeling blessed[/\]
