MARKERS OF DEATH
“IMMORTALITY”,
a boom for which many many beings in the ancient time underwent various
austerities, but failed to have it, only setting to the bargain about the
condition to his death. Like Harinya Kashyap who put condition to his death. As
the story goes he got himself the boom that he shouldn’t die by hands of any
human, demigod or any being created by god. He shouldn’t die in morning or in
night and neither in sky nor on Earth and not by any weapon present in the
world. He tried to fool death and blundered, thinking himself to be immortal.
But
fate had him. The one who has taken birth has to die as written in Bhagvad
Gita. He was killed by sharp nails of Lord Vishnu who incarnated as Narsingha
Dev. Narsingh Dev was not a human, nor demigod. Harinyakashyap was killed not
in night nor in day but in twilight. He was neither killed in sky nor on Earth
but on the lap of the lord and not by any weapon but the lord’s nails which toured
his abdomen, spilling his guts.
Srimad
Bhagwatam displays it more vividly. But in today’s time, can we condition our
own death. Is it possible to have “MARKERS OF DEATH”?
THE URBAN LEGEND
Three
years back this lady came to me with a heavy portfolio of her cardio [heart]
condition. All the reports univocally singing only one raga, she required
immediate open heart surgery to survive. She already had two silent heart
attacks and body was not in position to bear the third. But she was quiet obstinate
that she won’t get a surgery done. So she went to different doctors, finally
compiled to her demands and gave her a “shopping bag” full of medicines, out of
which dozens were to be popped in a single day. Was it psychological or whether
she was actually recovering, she felt fine.
Last
year she came with a box of sweets announcing that she have fixed her
daughter’s wedding. She was all happy and jolly. By the end of first week of
January, I got news of her death from her daughter-in-law.
Surprising
thing was, all her scanning reports came absolutely normal. Her heart was
improving but from nowhere a small clot made it’s way through her vessels and
reached her brain. There was a stroke. First she became unconscious, then
shifted from home to ward, ward to ICU and then on ventilator and finally along
with her brain, her heart also gave up.
No
one had the time to access that what went wrong. She just started sliding and
sliding out of this world.
SHE ALWAYS KNEW IT…
Yes,
she always knew it. She had all those markers of death and she kind of knew it,
that this time she won’t able to make it. This all came as a revelation, after
her personal diary was read by her son.
Three
years back when she had the first indication, she went to the astrologer she
blindly trusted. And going through her birth chart and after mediating over it
for a while he told her that she have three years maximum left of her life. The
bad luck would slide in as soon as she fixed her daughter’s marriage. The
“Yama” [The demigod of death] would come in the form of her son-in-law. There
won’t be any chances then. The astrologer asked her that her only escape route
was to wait a long time before to fix her daughter’s marriage. So they would
get a chance to pray to almighty, getting few more years to her age.
She
was complacent to his advice and was pushing her daughter for higher studies
but one fine day her daughter landed with a boyfriend on the doorsteps of her
house.
She
was in a fix now. Neither could she tell her daughter, the whole truth nor
could she find any logistical reason to deny the proposal. So finally, knowing
her doom to be near, she lived; in fact ravished and savored the last six
months of her life, starting from the day her daughter got engaged.
CONCLUSION
Astrologer wasn’t a sham, his
predictions were precise.
The woman died and the daughter is
getting ready for April wedding (because of pressure from boy’s side)
Her son with hold the secrets of his
mother sudden death from his sister’s, as per the lady’s dying request (The
last entry made on 3rd January 2014 and afternoon of 4th January
2014 she died).
