Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dear brothers & sisters As you know my dear friend of 20 years has been ill with cancer of the brain. She has now come home from hospital to spend the last few days with her family. We are counting down the days & just taking every day as it comes & trying to make her as comfortable as possible. I have been meditating more than ever in my life & sending her & her 2 children my loving energies to help them through this difficult time. (Her son is 10 & her daughter is 6.)Im praying that she slips out of her body peacefully & is taken from her short life in this body as as painlessly as possible. She is only 39. I went chanting yesterday & over 20 of us chanted beautifully for her. I closed my eyes & could see her sitting in front of me. Can anyone offer any advice... is there anything I can do to help her with this transition out of this life? We dont want her to go but sadly the universe has decided she must. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated with all my heart With much love Farah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Let the Lord's name be on her lips and in her mind. I do believe that Shridhi Sai Baba protect his sincere  devotees miraculously  when prayed with total faith and surrender.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dear Farah Madam, Give space within among the people around her as well as ask her to maintain empty space within by emptying all thoughts as far as possible so that the divine intervention can take place and guide her to the safety of peace and smooth passage. That is meditation, that is prayer for her. With prayers and regards, M.S.Thimmappa. , " janfarah_strongspirit " <janfarah_strongspirit wrote: > > Dear brothers & sisters > > As you know my dear friend of 20 years has been ill with cancer of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dear sister Farah , The process of dying is a very pleasant experience for the person dying. It is the others surrounding her have all the worrying thoughts. But a mother of 10 and 6 yr will be leaving this world with a single worry about their future. Reassure her that her children will be well looked after and cared till they become on their own. Next keep the picture of her favorite deity in her room . Music of her choice to glorify the Deity must be constantly heard in the room . The music should be of low intensity. Someone preferably her close family members like husband ,son,daughter and others must touch her by hand and soothe her. May God bless her ! ~SWAMY http://gjnanaswarup.spaces.live.com/blog/ --- On Sun, 6/29/08, janfarah_strongspirit <janfarah_strongspirit wrote: Dear brothers & sisters As you know my dear friend of 20 years has been ill with cancer of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having being exposed to 7 deaths in a span of 15 years it is still very difficult to explain and tell you how to handle it, nevertheless here goes my contribution. First of all at this age she will be very much worried for her children and it is here you have to convince her that they will be taken care of. When this is assured you may see some relief on your friends face. Assurance should be genuine heartfelt to convince her. Next assure her that she is going to meet her lord and that God calls them early to whom he/she loves so it is like homecoming for her. This is easier said then done but try it nevertheless and i hope the Lord gives you enough strength to convince her. This done - whenever you go to meet her meditate first and then visit her. Once you reach her place always keep or place your hand preferably right hand into her right hand and gentle squeeze it lovingly looking straight into her eyes. See her eyes light up in this small gesture. If she can talk listen to her more than refraining her from talking because that will help her to get rid of weightage on her mind and chest. Also assure and calm her and then INSHALLAH she will slip back with a smile on her lips. Holding sad faces will make her more worried - i know, know, this is easier said then done but you have no alternative or any choice just go with the flow. All the best and God bless you to handle this situation. With warm wishes, Sudhakar HARI OM TAT SAT!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Initially when I read Farah ji's mail....I thought, Oh what a silly thing to discuss in a sadhana group. What can we tell someone who is about to leave? Just a few soothing words?? But will it bring comfort to the subject if there is no pre-anticipation for this event that sooner or late we all have to face. Then I read the replies from All.....especially Sudhakarji's mail touched me a lot and it just dawned that its such an important thing to consider......afterall, All this Sadhana and This Spiritual Journey is nothing but a preparation for " THIS EVENT " . A small poem emerged that am sharing......... Someone, Who¢s dying? After you achieve your academic milestone Having read the Shastras and grasping all that¢s known Please tell, how you shall confront this crying What would you say to someone, who¢s dying? After you have tested your mind and it¢s will When you are a Siddha bestowed with metaphysical skill Help to discover this key, which I am trying What can be taught to someone, who¢s dying? When you have moved the heaviest mountains Cut through the stones to carve astounding fountains This secret, sure you must have unearthed that¢s lying How to hold someone, who¢s dying? With your divine melody you¢ve pleased the Lord And spellbound huge masses rendering musical accord Do you have that secret tune, in offer for buying? That one can play to someone, who¢s dying? From the depths of your meditative quietude Penetrating many planes, anchored in choiceless attitude Tell me, how to allure a fearful mind on complying What¢s the technique to calm someone, who¢s dying? In my life, so many experiences that I have gained Many I¢ve strived, with apprehension some I¢ve refrained Oh Lord! On which of these I should be relying What I must be, my Master, when I¢m dying?

Dear Anupam Thankyou for sharing, the poem was lovely. This transition out of this life is so painful when the person is young & especially when they are leaving young children. I remember so many of my spiritual teachers telling me that we all choose the life we are born into. Its all for a reason. Its all meant to happen. I too was touched by the replies, especially Sudhakar's. To experience so many deaths in 15 years is harsh - I havent experienced that many deaths in my whole life. I have said far more to my friend through my eyes & through my meditations, than I can ever say to her verbally. All I can promise her now is that I will always do the best that I can for her children & that they will be helped & supported with love & sincerity. And I too must work out my life lessons in all this. This situation isn't all about me, but I have my life lessons to learn like every other person playing their part in the drama of life. When I was meditating last night, everything became clear for me & I saw it as if I was watching it clearly on a huge screen. There is always a lesson in everything without exception. Surely thats the beauty of life. With much love Farah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
