Guest guest Posted July 8, 1999 Report Share Posted July 8, 1999 Dear Athma bhandus, I am looking for advice from learned members of this group in my time of need - on how to cope with conflicting thoughts following the loss of a dearest one who has lived a full life with utmost belief in Shrivaishanvam and attained perumal thiruvadi by the grace of Udeyawar's sambhandham . Inspite of the firm belief that the departed soul is liberated from the misery of births and has reached its desired abode in Parama padam, the heart feels heavy and the separation seems unbearable. Being a Shrivaishnava by birth and by humble attempted actions, can not help thinking that the cause for this is selfishness. Afterall, the "swathu" has attained its "Swami" (or the otherway!)and this is the time to only rejoice and not grieve. The mind knows this and feels guilty for having any sorrowful thoughts. Although we have all heard from discourses throughout our lives as to how to cope with these conflicting thoughts, I would be grateful if I can get some help (sort of refresher course) in my time of need. I welcome either personal email or posting on the list. Adiyen, Sriranganayaki - Ramanuja Dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
