Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Namah Shivayah, Please, if anyone here doesn't mind sending positive thoughts and prayers I would be most grateful. My partner Ashwati's grandmother has been in the hospital all week. She is in her 90's and had 2 heart attacks this past week. Now, word just came that she is not doing well at all. Her heart is very weak. Ashwati is very close to her, as Nana is pretty much her only family. Also, her grandmother is terrified to leave her body. She is very scared. Please, if anyone has a moment to send a few prayers for her, please do. Either that she has a healthy recovery or if she must leave her body, that she leave it with peace and not with fear.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Dear Ananthashree and Ashwati, I will keep her and both of you in my prayers this week. I will be doing a Homa tomorrow morning, and I will send her some of that wonderful Homa energy. My grandmothers were both so precious to me. There were really my whole world for many years when I had nothing else, and they gave me an unconditional love and nurturance that I did not get from anyone else. They really kept me alive, and helped me to move ahead in my life. They both passed on two years ago, within a few months of each other, and I still suffer with that loss. Detatchment is not one of my stronger virtues. I miss them so very much, but i do feel their presence in my life in a very palpable way. In fact, I will sometimes feel or see them come in to my awareness in such a strong and powerful way, that i momentarily forget that they have passed on...they both feel so close. My husband, my son and I have been going through a very difficult time in many ways, and a few weeks ago, after falling asleep crying, I had the most vivid dream. It was a warm, brilliantly sunny morning, and i found myself sitting on my porch, enjoying some small birds that had perched themselves on a rocker next to me, and were chirping sweetly. Then, I realized that both of my gramdmothers were there with me, one sitting on one side and one on the other. One grandmother was rubbing my back softly, and one was holding my hand, and sending me the most beautiful healing energy. I felt such deep comfort and bliss in that moment, and I awoke crying, but in in good way, at the beauty of it. Even now as I write this, it brings tears. I can understand what Ashwati must be going through. My grandmothers each had a different approach to their process of passing on. My father's mother (i called her nana) was fearless and faced it head on, with faith and love. She became very clairvoyant for weeks before she passed and she would tell me about her experiences in meeting her guides and angels, friends and family who had passed on, and different places she would travel to in the astral. It was so amazing. She even gave me the exact date of her death, three weeks before it actually happened. She was a very devoted catholic, and the night before she passed on, i held her in my arms all night, and chanted the rosary into her ear in a soft whisper all through that night. She was mostly unconscious, but would occasionally open her huge brown eyes and gaze at me for a moment with such sweetness. About an hour after she passed on, I had the experience of feeling her pass through my heart with such a force of love that it almost knocked me over! I knew she was going to be just fine, and that Amma was carrying her home, to the land of the goddess. That thought gave me immense comfort. My other grandmother, my mother's mother (I called her Gringa) was always very much afraid of death. I knew this about her, and I would sometimes bring her a book about people's near death experiences, and read to her from them. I brought her pictures of Amma, and vibuti, even though she always declined to meet Amma in person. Still, she had a deep fear, and there was nothing that I could do to change her thoughts on that. So, during the few weeks prior to her passing on, Amma inwardly instructed me to send healing thoughts to gringa in silence, while we were sitting together, and that those vibrations would bypass her mind, and work on the level of the heart. In the last week of her life, as it worked out, I was not with her when she passed on. However, I was in a place where I was able to meditate for her for long periods of thime, and I could really feel the force of the love Amma and I were sending her. It was a river of brilliant golden love, flowing into her with ease. On that level, Gringa was absorbing it like a sponge, and she ended up passing on very peacefully, with a sweet smile on her lips, according to my sister. The work of letting go is very difficult indeed. Often, what brings people peace and happiness while they are alive, is what will bring them peace and comfort during their process of passing on. Sometimes simply holding hands in the silence is the most healing thing that can be offered. Presence becomes more important than activity. Release is also important. many people have a much harder time passing on if they feel that the people who love them are not ready, or are in too much pain to let them go. This is especially true of mothers. They try so hard to hold on if they know that their loved ones are suffering. It is important to remind ourselves that life and love are eternal, even though these bodies are not. Connections of love can never be severed. They transcend and overcome even death. "Death is to be welcomed as a dear friend whom one has not seen in a long time. We should always have a special room prepared for it." This is what Amma said to someone who asked a question about death during a retreat last year. I will never forget it. Please know that you are in my prayers. Love is the greatest power in the universe, and your hearts will help Ashwati's beloved grandmother to make this great leap, and find herself in the land of the Goddess, where there is no fear, only bliss beyond words. We are so very blessed to have the power of the Goddess with us at every moment in the form of our Beloved Amma. She is with all three of you at every moment. Hold onto Her Lotus Feet, and trust in Her ability to carry your grandmother Home, as a child within Her loving arms, as only a Mother can. There is no greater blessing in the universe.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Dear Anathashree, Ashwati and Sanatani, Grandmas are so precious. In my life my grandmothers and great grandmother were mothers to me. My grandmas died 20 years ago - and I still miss them. They were both 90. You will all be in my prayers and in my heart.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Namah Shivayah, Thank you. Her name is Mary. Ashwati is at the hospital now. The body is going and there isn't much time left.
