My Baba's year 2021

๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ๐Ÿ’ฎ

The year is in its last month. I came to revive this blog and saw that my last post was in Jan 2021.

I think you must have guessed it already seeing my Baba's picture here. He has moved on in his soul's journey. He fell ill with an urinary tract infection in Jan and after a fall in Feb had to undergo spine surgery in Mar. His recovery looked promising inspite of the complications. However his body finally gave up. 

During this pandemic atleast I could convince him to stay with me. In the 6 months he was in bed we had several conversations, he was very happy that I was looking after him but he worried too much about how I would be alone after him. We talked about all things that we had skirted about before in our life. All answers were sought and given. Then on 18 June 2021 in the early morning as I went to say good morning to him, he just turned towards me and breathed his last. 

I informed my extended family and his relationships that he had fostered. He was cremated in the electric furnace as was his wish and no rituals. I offered a trimming of my hair with him. On the 13th day we had a shanti homa. Post which I was waiting until the lockdown opened up so I could do his Asthi visarjan. I did it in two places in the Arabian sea and at Gondavale in the Managanga river. He had wished to breath his last in Gondavale all his life however he had a plan B. So that is what I fulfilled. I am very sure he is in the lap of Shree Gondavalekar Maharaj.

The longest relationship in my life has come to an end. ๐Ÿ™Shree Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram ๐Ÿ™

P. S: 

I had planned a SahastraChandra for him and we postponed it as he had a fall. Sharing here the video I had made for the celebration of his 80 years on Earth. He was an amazing father and a very sucessful man in life.

  1. Thank you for sharing his extraordinary life and chronicles with us. His daughter is testimony to the amazing person and father he must have been, not to mention a truly dedicated saadhak who showed with example how to lead a life of purushartha and saadhana together. ShreeMaharaj would be undoubtedly holding his hand and leading his path in his journey. May both of them forever watch over you and guide you always with love and light

  3. May his soul rest in peace. I can understand the void it creates as I lost my father too in November 2020. I keep visiting your blog for the new posts..and felt really sad to read about his demise . Om Shanti.
