Communication from Beyond!

Communication from Beyond!
North India was shivering with coldest winter ever! Cold winds blowing from Himalayas was giving chilly air to the residents of Lucknow-an abode of yesteryear Nawabs. Eccentric Nawabs were always known for their “Tehjeeb” and “Pehle Aap” notion! Lucknow was also got its share of chilly winter when the snow-capped mountains breathed very heavily the chilly air to freeze all who came into its territory. Those near the Highest and coldest Mountain Ranges were affected more than who were in down South.
My old mom-in law sent me SOS, “Come! Take me to Chennai! I can’t stand the chill anymore!”
Her Son and Daughter-in-law responded quickly. Mom-in-law was in Chennai within few days. She heaved a sigh of relief and said now am warm and cozy. I will spend my days with ease. She went on to settle down and made herself very comfortable in the warm weather of Chennai.
Chennai is so warm and perfect for all the North Indian Oldies that they all come down south to avoid the chill of severe winters. India is so great with diversified climate that no other country enjoys!
All went of so well! Perfect! Mom was so happy with her routine and enjoyed all the attention and care that she was all well during her two months stay. She shopped! She enjoyed outings! She advised her grand children! She guided her daughter-in-law! She blessed her son for all the good care she got through him! She was just so satisfied that she felt blessed from ABOVE!
Holi! Festival of colors! Celebrated in many parts of India. It symbolizes the end of chilly winter and beginning of blossoming spring. It is also end of darkness with welcoming entrance of bright new colorful spring! It is celebrated with wet and dry colors with friends and relatives. We were remembering the festival mood when we got a tragic news! Mom’s eldest son passed away in auto accident. His head smashed to the road divider. He was neither wearing a helmet, nor he was carrying his spiritual protection and mobile phone. As if he was called by the fate to cut his life journey short.

Mom was shattered. She could not cry just composed herself and said I will go next morning. We started our journey to Lucknow. We reached Delhi. We were supposed to wait for 4 hours. We sat in the waiting hall. Then I got a contact from my brother-in-law. I traveled to the living quarter of Brother-in-law, where his younger brother and family lived. Also his uncle lived in joint family. He was there in the hall jumping here and there with joy. He was so happy that I could see his happiness as he was in his physical world. He went to mom’s room and said, “Mane ki Amma, where are you? I am waiting for you!”
Repetition was visible as if this was his heartiest desire. I saw him in his favorite Bermuda and t-shirt. He was sitting on different chair very happily and then I came out from the trance. I was still at the airport.
We reached Lucknow with heavy heart and the scene at home was very sad and I could not bear seeing my brother-in-law in his final state of rest. It was unbearable! His wife was inconsolable! Mom gave up her composed attitude and broke down barely out of her husband’s loss! All were so broken and shocked! Then I saw Aby, he was smiling from above his body and waving at me. He was watching his physical body from the first floor of the hall. The site was amazing! It was as if he broke free of all his burden and bondages!
Then they all took his physical remains for final rites. He was taken to the pyre. The final Hindu rites took a long time. I was with mom and his wife during the cremation-at home. Then all of a sudden I saw him at the door of the room. He was peeping playfully and saying, “tell my wife to say bye!”
He kept on repeating till I told his wife that Aby is peeping and asking her to say bye. She said bye with her closed eyes and then he went away. I thought that he must have gone.
Again,I saw him at the door. He told me playfully, “tell my mom to say bye!”
He kept on chattering to me till I told her to say bye. I was really surprised by this repeated communication. Then, Aby vanished. I perceived that he was gone. I thought I would go spiritually and scan the house. I scanned the house. And Lo! Aby was sitting on his favorite chair in the main hall. I asked Aby, “Why are you still here? Please go!”
Aby replied, “Let my both younger brother come! My son come! Then I will go!”
Then, I lost communication.
When his brothers and son came, Aby might have left.
After all the Final work we were suppose to take bath. I went to bathroom. After the bath,I saw strange phenomenon in front of my eyes. I saw star shaped form in rainbow color. The image was visible with my open eyes. I wanted to dismiss it as illusory effect due to moisture. But I saw it outside the bathroom, in the bedroom of mom. The rainbow star was everywhere. Only my eyes can see. Then I closed my eyes-I saw in my third eye area. I started meditation to find the source of emergence.
Out popped the answer—“Purpur chachi, See what I want to show you! Enjoy and revel in the Divine experience!”
I was obliged by his affectionate gesture. After few moments this vision faded and I was back to my normal vision. I was blessed by this vision!
Later, ‘Shanti Havan’ was organized. He was there watching.I saw him in white.
I came to my workplace after few days.
Later, 13th day ritual was organized which was very peaceful experience. One person reported that when the rite ended then a shadow in dark, wet clothes left towards the sky. He left like a lightening from his first floor door, which opens towards balcony.
All was well after some time. All is peaceful! But heart is so heavy! Aby is missed by his nears and dears! He will always live in everyone’s memories forever!
God Loved Him So Much That HE Called Him Very Promptly!
