IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER WHO PASSED AWAY TWO DAYS AGO
Of all mantras in the Vedas, one is called the maha-mantra, or great mantra:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama
Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
The words “Hare” (pronounced ha-ray), “Krishna” (pronounced krish-na), and “Rama” (rhymes with “drama”), are Sanskrit words. “Hare” is an address to God’s energy, known as Radha, and “Krishna” is name of God meaning “He who is attractive to everyone.” “Rama” means “one who gives pleasure and enjoys life.”
When chanted the maha-mantra is a petition to God: “O Krishna, O energy of Krishna, please engage me in Your service.”
sorry for your loss
Thank you. When someone close to you leaves it is very sobering...
peace be with you...
Thank you.
Even though we know death is not the end and that the departed have moved on to much greater realms, it leaves an empty feeling for those left behind. What a beautiful "send-off" for your father you have put together here.
Yes. That person, soul, we shared so many things with has moved on. We come face to face with the vastness...
I'm very sorry for your loss I hope he's always in your heart
May peace be with you.
i like your post my friend
Thanks for sharing your personal journey! The journey we all will take with family and friends. Your father was blessed with you in his life and we are all equally blessed by your presence and example.
Thank you for your kind words. I owe him a lot. I hope I was able to help him at least a little. Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
