Death in the family

It was a night that saw the fury of nature and there was a sudden torrent of rain ...while this was happening the Old order was changing and a change happened I lost my uncle it was in the early hours of the morning of the 21'st of August 2005.

Trimbak Lal was his full name. He had a full life a very open hearted and friendly person.

He was blessed with a nice family a great wife sheila aunty three daughters Pinky, Ruby and Sonu and further a colourfull mix of grandchildren.

I have very fond memories of my uncle T.L. Anand.

Since we follow the Hindu religion it fell on me to consign the mortal remain to the Fire which happend after 16:00Hrs on the same day.

A few days later we all went to collect the ashes and the remains. These were left in the Jamuna and the Ganga the sacred rivers of India. This whole experience has been a very moving experience for the whole family and especailly for Sheila Aunt and my Dad Vikramajeet Anand , who have lost their husband and elder brother respectively.Last evening we returned form Haridwar a small town on the bank of the river Ganga where the remains were released in the Ganga at the Sati Ghat while we were chanting the Gaytri Mantra. We then went to the Har Ki Paudi (Steps to the Almighty).....here we met the family Panda a Brahmin Priest who keeps the record of the visits a family makes to the town of Haridwar. Here the last rites are performed for the peace of the soul and peace in the family.

Life goes on with the change that has taken place. So what is of the Nature has gone back to Nature.

The Kalachakra is moving ....... Om Mani Padme Hum Peace Om Shanti Om
