Dear ChithuMa Its very shocking news...May God grant you and your family strength during this moment.....
Dear Chitvish, Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Will pray to God to give your strength to endure this loss. Regards, Kate.
My heartfelt condolences, Chithra. Our heartfelt wishes and prayers for Mr.Vishwanathan's soul to rest in peace. Chithra You are so well read and a student of Gita and I pray Lord Krishna is by your side and gives you the strength to stand through these tough times. From all accounts Mr.Vish appears to be a gentle kind supportive husband and everyone's sincere prayers for his soul to rest in peace. The hand of the Divine acts in ways we cannot explain or sometimes makes sense. Unquestioning Trust behind that power holding hands with the seemingly infinite formless expanse is what is needed to cross pain, suffering and sorrow. As Lord Krishna says in the Gita , " There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes."
Dear Chithra mami, My heartfelt condolence to you. Pray God to make mama's soul rest in peace. It is a very shocking news for me. Cannot even trust that it is true, felt so sad. Also i will Pray God to give you enough strength at this time.
May His Soul Rest In Peace. My prayers and thoughts are with you Maam, during this difficult time. Anu.
dear chithra as life skids from usual terrain... the mind chews on the cud of life of love and of longing why me why now.... are questions unanswered each tear that came trailing perhaps spoke a thousand verse of the life so far thus trailed in slow motion questions for which there are no answers why now.... why me ....why why why.... a smile on the face that left.... a trail of tears on the loved one.... suddenly life is an island surrounded by tears... they say time heals and it does true... but time takes a long long time away doing that.... tears are a mark of strength over weakness the river of power to heal...and go on... for a moment even god has no answers... whats happened to those prayers you may ask he is busy connecting... with your loved one... may HE give you to strength to move on... sathya
Chitra Mam This is a very sad news.So sorry to hear this. Be strong and brave as you are always....May his soul rest in peace.
A tribute: I realize that in life, we have to accept the inevitable, however much it grieves us. But I have no right to complain, since I was blessed to live with with my husband and guide me for 50+ years.. That, I realize, is a blessing. You all know, I am a Vedanta student & an ardent follower of Gita. Jaathasya hi dhruvO mrithyudhruvam janma mruthasya cha Thasmaad aprihaaryaerthae na thvam s(h)Ochithumarhasi 2. 27 Because death is certain for one who is born and birth is certain for one who is dead. Therefore, you should not grieve over this inevitable fact. We are caught in an irresistible whirl of births and deaths. The last moment dies only to be born as the present moment; that which is born as the present must die again to be born as the future. Atma is always there and does not elicit any sorrow from you. For the atma’s sake, you need not be sad. But it is foolish to be sad for the Anithya Anatma’s sake, as well ! This line in the Gita, is, therefore, a very important one in that it says Let me accept what I cannot change. The only alternative available is not to accept and to grieve. It is best to accept the choiceless, gracefully. Acceptance will help but worry will not help. I know, you are all with me in my sorrow & I thank each and everyone of you. Now, I will be back to the mainstream of my life.
