The funeral was last Thursday ... but it still doesnt feel real. Tomorrow I have to go to my cousins house for a family get together in rememberance of my nan - you are meant to do this on the 12th day after someone passes away.
Tomorrow is also Diwali - the festival of Lights when Rama and Sita returned home from years in exile and after defeating Ravana.
I havent gone over to my cousins much this week - you are meant to go to chant gods name and sing religious songs but my dad wanted a break and I still had coursework to do. I've nearly finished my law and accounts courseworks which are due for next week.
So just leave me to start marketing coursework on Saturday - lots of research still to do - anyway I'd better sign off - I made a promise that I will chant 2 rounds of the Maha Mantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Har, Hare Rama, Hare Rama ,Rama Rama, Hare Hare) each day - one round is 108 beads - so I have to say this 216 times - hmm its very easy for your mind to wonder - I need to train it to chant focused....
Sorry I haven't posted for a while...
...my nan passed away at 12.55 on Monday 1st November. She was with my aunt and uncle in the hospital. Then had just fed her lunch and they were saying a prayer together. As soon as they finished the prayer, she passed away ... with God's name on her lips (this is actually very fortunate as it says in the Bhagavata Gita that anyone who remembers Krsna when passing from the material world will go back to Godhead.)
My nan was a kind, generous and friendly person. She would always welcome guests to her home and no one ever left hungry. She taught me how to play cards when I was young, told me stories and always had a bag of sweets at hand. I remember watching my nan praying in the morning... she was a very religious person...
