I can swear on anyone including my mom that this has happened to me. This happened to me when I was in Sydney, Australia in 1995. I was working in a shop at the counter. A graceful looking Indian man with long hair and beard came directly to my counter and said, by looking at my forehead he can tell that I will become a big yogi. I was bit fascinated by that since I already was interested in becoming one. To convince me he did this. Looking at me he wrote something on a paper. He folded it and gave it to me and asked me to open this later. He then asked me to think of my favorite color, lucky number and a flower that I like. I thought of picking the wrong ones but finally decided to go for the correct ones. Once I opened it, I was surprised to see the exact matching answers. I have never revealed my personal details to anyone at any time. Atleast not when I was in Sydney. Is it possible the Guy was reading my mind? I still have no clue. Can you please explain this? No mocking.

Looking at the answers, I get an impression that the Guy may have tricked. But fortunately it was a good event for me. From that time I started doing yoga more seriously. Result is that I am more fitter now than ever. No one can think of me is more 23 years though I will cross 35 this march. And I have a good career with a much higher motives. What else could I have expected. Thanks anyway for your answers.

It's a matter of odds - 7 is most peoples lucky number, for example.
I wouldn't believe that he read your mind, he was lucky.

I would venture to suggest that the gentleman had a power that was beyond human capacity. As a christian, I know it wasn't God, since he does not operate in this way. The only other source of supernatural power is Satan. For this reason I would not trust anything anyone said or did as a demonstration of supernatural power, even if what was said was true or what was done seemed good. How you ultimately deal with this is up to you, but I would caution you to be very wary.

I believe it is possible for people to recognise characteristics and traits in each other on physical, mental, emotional or spiritual planes. So, in the same way you might be talent spotted as a singer, artist, medic or entrepreneur then why not as an embryonic yogi. And its likely the guy was connecting with your sub conscious mind to have access to the information you mention unless you were actively thinking of your favourite color, lucky number and the flower that you like while he was with you.

I think you're overly impressed with a guy that guessed right. How many times did he do this and get it wrong. If he does it right 100 times in a row, then I would be impressed.
Just with some power of observation you can tell someone's favorite color, just by what they are wearing. I think you need to be a little less gullible. That's the kind of stunt that "psychics" pull all the time.

If you ever study psychology, you will find that the brain works in certain ways. If you ask a question in a certain way, you will (most times) get a particular answer. This person knew the way to do this. There are also several stock answers to things, he probably just played the odds on them.

wow you were fortunate to meet this man. not too many of us come across one who is so intune with this ability.
there have been quite a few times that i have seen or met a person and knew instantly what was to occur with them. 95% of the time it's all good. the other 5% is dark and i don't usually speak to them about what is to occur. i know that there is not one thing that i could do to turn that person from the path that they travel.
to bad that you didn't stay in touch with this man. he would explained all that he is to you. what an experience tho...

Why did he come to your shop, did he buy something ? You say he looked Indian, seems you are Indian yourself. You then already have some affinities. Started from here you should not ask the question here, I think you should ask the question in your mother tongue to the people like you where they perform magic tricks.

Of course its possible, some people are extremely clever and gifted at doing it, I believe you as pretty much the same has happened to me, sometimes we have to take the blinkers off to see that all things are possible.
