Dear Dr Sahasanu

 

i don't how we can justify the suffering but yes its true

that we whatever comes to us its the result was all we have done in our past

births.

 

My spiritual teacher has

given us a spiritual sadhana for the cure of " AIDS " . This disease once

arose long back. A pregnant women was found to be suffering from starange

disease. Rishis munis worked on it for some six months and found the remedy

and prevented it from spreading further. From that time on this solution had

remain buried in the text but was brought to light when a disciple of my

spiritual teacher came across it and requested Pujya Gurudev to regenerate

the solution in full as parts of the text have got affected with time.

 

If you would like to have this sadhana let me know about it. I will be happy

to send it your way. Meditation will help a great deal in slowing their

disease and with time can even cure it.

 

luv,

Anurag

Mokoena Infectious Diseases Hospital

 

 

Hello,

 

One of my nursing Sisters showed us your interesting Internet site,

and I am wondering if your establishment which seems to be founded

on the work of Swami Vivekananda of fond memory, has any advice for

our patients here, also, for us who work with them.

 

Here about fifty percent of the population has HIV/AIDS, and while some

of us caring for them are Hindu, we have not come up with anything we

can say by way of Hinduva to these people to give them some idea

from the Hindu religious point of views as to why they have HIV and must

die.

 

We hope you and your people have some good Hindu philosophy to

give for a world-wide pandemic situation.

 

Hoping to hear from you

 

With kind regards

Dear Dr Sahasanu

 

You and your staff members are indeed very special.

What wonderful work you all do!

 

Our Mentor - Vivekananda - would have nothing but the

highest praise for your work. As you perhaps know he

represents the dynamic, contemporary and comprehensive

facet of Hinduism. He set up the Ramakrishna Mission and Math

which is involved in many philanthropic activities.

 

Let me give you a couple of quotes which perhaps you can print and

exhibit at the hospital. Vivekananda's life was nothing but self-sacrifice.

He lived the message he preached. Let me share some of his quotes

that you and your staff may find inspiring..

 

" And may I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries,

so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in,

the sum total of all souls "

 

" So work says Vedanta, putting God in everything and knowing HIM to

be in everything. Work incessantly, holding life as something deified,

as God himself. and knowing that this is all we have to do, this is all

we should ask for. God is in everything, where else shall we go to

find Him? He is already in every work, every thought in every feeling.

Thus knowing, we must work - this is the only way, there is no other. "

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I will request our list members to forward some of the Swamis

quotes that can inspire, give hope, peace and strength to people

undergoing a great deal of suffering. That may help and give some

comfort to the patients.

This may be " true, " but--please excuse me for contradicting your reply --I don't

see how it would help to comfort a dying person. It is not helpful to tell a

person, in effect, that it is his fault that he is dying, even if it is " true. "

The real truth is that which uplifts another person and directs him to his

divine destiny. Why not tell him something positive--that life and death are

natural parts of the journey to God and we should not fear death, because it is

the death of the body only?

Instead of a person (possibly a non-Hindu or a person without faith) telling

a dying Hindu some " facts " about what his or her religion teaches, I hope that

those who attend to the dying can just lovingly keep company with them in their

suffering, as one human being to another.

As far as I understand (I am not a Hindu), Hinduism teaches that what you

think about at the time of your death is where you go after death, so they

should try to think of God with love. If they have no faith in God, let them

think of whatever or whoever they do love. Let go of their attachments and feel

free. The suffering will be over soon.
