Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Namaste Rudran, I am sorry on your loss . Here is what Swamiji had to tell me on my recent bereavement. I am sure this works for you too. Swamiji says : "Keep your mind focused on God, scripture, appreciation, and family. Give your departed relative the highest respect, we would light a candle in front of the person's picture, offer fresh flowers daily, and say at least 1 mala of Gayatri daily in the person's honor.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Thank you Latha. You've conveyed to me a wonderful tool to cope with Dad's loss. I am so happy to have something so special to work with. It will set me well along on the road to recovery, especially at the dawn of each new day. namaste, rudran , "Latha Nanda" <lathananda> wrote: > Namaste Rudran, > > I am sorry on your loss .
