Namaste ALL esp Linda,

Your postings are amazing. All of them. However, what you wrote
about below...your experiences with your grandfather and
grandmother...what a balm! How wonderful of you to share these
experiences. It helps, it really does help, especially people like
me. I often think of myself as a rock--as far as spiritual growth is
concerned. I am about that evolved and that impenetrable. I really
need people to talk about their experiences like you did in your post
because, if I can't have great things like that happen to me, the next
best thing is to hear people like you talk about them.

Namaste,
Karen

I used to be terrified of death. Then, many years ago, some months
after my grandfather died, he came to visit me. Though he was in his
Light Body (it really was like dancing particles of light), I knew it
was him. He said nothing, but exuded comfort; then touched my finger
with his finger, and a wave like an electrical shock passed through
me, leaving me with a feeling a total surrender and peace. I never
doubted that my grandfather's visit was to show me that death is not
the end and to not be afraid. Later, my fear came back, gradually,
but now it has gradually gone again as I have had continued visits,
especially from my maternal grandmother, who seems to show up
whenever my body is undergoing anything that it might interpret as
traumatic (like a trip to the dentist). She just stands quietly, in
front of me, off to the left, and smiles ... she lets me know
"telepathically, of course" that she is here for me and to not be
afraid. Now you will all think I am truly nuts, but these experiences
have been very real, and I believe in them, and so, I am not afraid.
Shanti ~ Linda

i absolutely do NOT think you are nuts, linda! i understand this
experience well as my sister visited me in (now i have a name
for it, light body--thanks!) what i called a 'ball of light'
when she died almost 20 years ago. sparkly bright dancing light!
thank you, thank you for sharing this experience!

You never miss your water 'til your well runs dry. Give thanks.

i'm with you on this, karen. i LOVE to hear people's personal
experiences. i can sometimes relate and feel 'comforted'
knowing that others experience similar things. they are
affirmative and encouraging to me.

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

these postings really make me think. i recently had a couple of
things happen but i was quick to write them off as coincidence.
about a week ago i went to my puja room and the DURGA candle was
burning. i was sure i hadn't lit it. but then i noticed that the
candle was at its end so i quickly replaced it.(i use votive candles
and sometimes they crack when they get too) and haven't thought
about it since. till now. and the other day i was riding my bike
and i thought i saw NEEM KAROLI BABA sitting on a front porch and he
waved at me. but again i quickly thought, "naa, that can't be."
and never looked back.(though i did wave back to him as i road past)

sometimes i am envious of all of you who know Shree Maa and Swamiji
and frequent the ashram. specially when i here of all the great
things that happen there. but maybe the little "miracles" of GOD
are happening everywhere we just are quick to write them off as
coincidence. or worse yet we don't notice them at all.

Namaste Dear Family members,

I missed u all for 1 month. due to work pressure, i
was touring a lot. nearly 20 days. then had planning
meets at a strech for 6 days.

since many of us have have shared their experiences in
this topic, i will also share my experiences in a
deatiled mail in a week's time.

i will share my experiences of my Aunt ( my mother's
own elder sister, who passed away way back in 1930s,
when she was just 9 years old. She came back to earth
(her athma), in 1980s,went around in search of her
house for years together, atlast identified her house,
met her mother (my Ma-grandma),

then she was with us for long period, she is with us
even now also.

she is a bleesed athma, as she has seen Lord Shiva.,
when her athma was moving up after her death.
She expalins the appearance of Lord Shiva, as it is as
we see, ( sitting on a stone pedestral, long brown
hair - jada , his thrishul..). As soon as she sees
Shiva, she realises her past birth, and she cried
aloud to the Lord that she wants to see her mother.

The karunya murthy ( Lord of grace), has told those 3
ambasadors (who took her life off from earth ), to
leave her let go to earth , have some time there and
come back.

the experiecnes she had after death when she was 9
years old, and her total transit time of 50 years in
the cosmos is really amazing.

its a big story, which i will share with u all,next
week, as typing itself will take time.

she is visible to my sister. she is like an angel. she
flies between the rooms, especaially between the
kitchen and the pooja room.

certain bhrama rahasyas ( divine secrets ), she asked
me not to reveal.

its all the more a very unbelievable story.

MANY STARS IN THE COSMOS ARE NOT VISIBLE TO US.
SCIENTISTS SAY THAT, SOME LIGHT WHICH STARTED
TRAVELLING FROM THE START OF THE COSMOS, HAS NOT
REACHED THIS EARTH, EVEN AFTER MANY THOUSANDS OF
YEARS.

IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THINGS WHICH ARE AFTER A FEW
LIGHT YEARS AWAY, THEN, WE CANNOT SAY THAT THOSE STARS
DOESNT EXIST. THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE TO US. SIMILARLY
LOTS OF GANAS, ARE NOT VISIBLE TO US.

i m 2000% sure that we need not feel that this thought
about life after death is lunatic.

because - I HAVE SEEN MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE BETWEEN
1984 TO 2004, in this particular issue. and ofcourse,
SEEING IS BELIEVING.

best wishes for you all.

Lets continue our journey in this eternal cosmos.

Jai Maa,

aravind.
