Sri Purushothaman, Jyotish Guru, SJC Singapore has left for heaven

[Guest guest]

~om namo bhagavate vasudevaya~

Dear Friends

 

The fateful day we had dreaded for two years has arrived when Sri Purushothaman

(lovingly called Purush and Puru) is no longer with us as Saturn passes over

his Arudha Lagna in Cancer. It is a fateful day for SJC as the head of SJC

Singapore has left for heaven (passed away) on the night of 10 July, 2005. Sri

Purushothaman had barely 18% of his heart working for a few years now and

inspite of that handicap did more work in spreading the light of Jyotisa than

what many youngsters with stronger hearts can do today – not because his

heart was weaker, but because his heart knew where it was – at the feet

of his master Sri Satya Sai Baba and with the light of Jyotisa.

 

With Purush, we had many light moments when he insisted on showing the marine

park at Singapore or traveled the evening around Singapore in a cycle rickshaw!

I have not laughed like that in many years. Gurudev used to say that there is

always something good to learn from every human being as it is this goodness

that caused their birth as a human being instead of a lesser creature. The

greatest lesson we learnt from Purush was “to save our limited breath for

a good word”. Purush never had a bad word for anyone nor did he encourage

any kind of loose talk.

 

With great love and compassion he brought all the astrologers together to form

SJC Singapore. He may have left his body but his spirit and dream lives on as

new members join SJC at Singapore everyday to receive this enlightening

knowledge.

 

To Hari: Thank you for informing me and a recitation of the moksha giving

mrityunjaya mantra shall be made here in Serbia before the conference begins to

pray that Lord Shiva may grant moksha to the soul we knew as Purushothaman and

save him from deaths in the future. I will be making this prayer at all the SJC

conferences this year.

 

To Maria, Frankie and all Singapore members: Purush lives in your minds as

Jyotish knowledge received from a Jyotisa Guru, and in your hearts as a sweet

memory of a good human being whose compassion for all knoew no bounds. Please

don't allow this Purush to die...He had just one request from me - to study the

charts of musicians and to find the vital link between music and jyotish through

phonemes and tones...I will do that next year or at least lets start the project

for SJC Singapore to fulfil this last wish.

 

To Phyllis, Lakshmi and SJC West Coast members: Remember how Purush made us sing

'om namo bhagavate vasudevaya' and all those bhajans...let the music continue

for in the music our Purush lives...let us sing om namo bhagavate vaasudevaaya.

 

 

I must end here...not sure whether my words are very meaningful due to the

sorrow that engulfs my heart ...

Love to all

Sanjay Rath

Demise of Sri Purushothaman, Jyotish Guru, SJC Singapore

||om namo bhagavate vasudevaaya||Dear SJC Singapore friends,Now that the atman

inside the body known as Sri Purushothaman has left the body yesterday night,

Sri Purushothaman the body is no more but the legacy and deep well of memories

due to him live on. Let us pray that the divine Lord and all his diksha gurus

guide the atman to a higher loka from where he should be reborn as an

enlightened being.I rejoice in the knowledge that he has left to see the

compassion of Jesus Christ, the wisdom of Confucius, the dance of Shiva &

Parvati and the sweet music wafting through the gardens of Radhadesh, such a

glorius sight! I still remember the love and passion with which he sang;

especially the way he chanted om namo bhagavate vasudevaaya.Now that I am not

present at Singapore to prostrate before him and offermy pranaams, I humbly

offer my pranaams to him, whereever he may be now for the atman is eternal. May

he bless and guide all of us at SJC Singapore.I wish I told him that I finally

found a job for he was most concerned at my situation but he will be smiling

from above with all the angels.best regardsHariSanjay: You need to decide

whether to announce this on the forums.
