A Divine Soul Left Us on Ram Navami — Our Kaka

Thank You Every One for your stand with us at this hour. I Joined my home to thank you all for your blessings.

In a joint family my father left us twenty years ago and last night on Ram Navami his younger brother that’s my Uncle whom we called Kaka left us.

In order to believe God’s wish we need to go back to Twenty Second verse of the second Chapter of Srimat Bhagavat Gita which mentions:

“…vāsāḿsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛhṇāti naro ‘parāṇi tathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇāny anyāni saḿyāti navāni dehī…”

As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.

Well we could not found any solutions in this material world despite advance medical science and short of miracles in those nine months sorrow, joy and celebration. That sometime we become friend, in next moment he was as if a little kid and a guardian who know how to guide us.

Well he was a retired employee of State Bank of India, a devotee of spiritual value, keen lover of kids, a kitchen gardener, a cyclists who move around neighborhood. A mixing person with down to earth that hardly anyone having gurge on him that i ever came across.

A person who was not in the page 3 or limelight throughout his life nor ever ran for credit what he deserves. A true Laxman of Ramayana in our life, a follower of his elder brother Professor happens to be my father. Yes I am close to various media network but never imagined life would be end up so early that I won’t able to share his contributions to growing plant, kitchen garden, encouraging kids do enjoy childhood in media.

Perhaps whatever flowers, fruits, vegetables including Odia cultural values that you have seen in my post or blog is his work, where I was just got an opportunity to showcase you all through my photography.

In last nine month I was virtually confined myself to around him and I found a life around me what I have otherwise won’t have seen the way I was living a life. Yes many had told I avoided many social gathering or found other way engagement that am not into cycling nor photography nor into conference or workshop or ignoring as I became big short, avoided many live discussion in television, so occasion with functions of friends, etc

But I was doing those in past because of his presence in our life, today when lighted the fire into his face, it was beyond my imagination that I would have to perform that duty in his life. Yes this might be a death of a person but I have seen a God in my life through his lifestyle.

Similarly in Twenty Seven verse of the second Chapter of Srimat Bhagavat Gita explains:

“…..jātasya hi dhruvo mrityurdhruvam janma mritasya ca.
tasmādaparihārye. arthe na tvam śocitumaharsi….”

One that is born death is certain and certain is birth for the one that has died. The events of death and re-birth are thus unavoidable, and one should not grieve for them; even God is not spared from this rule.

Therefore instead off mourning divine death let us celebrate his life journey being known in various names by generation as Babaji, Mousa, Aja, Kaka and Bada Babu etc,etc. Yes I wanted more colorful event in his life, perhaps a victory wanted to script in this nine month into another decade with an inspiring story for others but God has different story to script in search of good people in his neighborhood that he took away my Kaka.

I will write some more of his lifestyle in-depth story in future but today is the day to flashback into the journey of his life in society instead of mourning I will find a way of celebrating it.

Well don’t be surprise my name as Piyush means Amrit a Divine Drinks of God & Goddess for which once there was a war of extracting the drink was fought between God & Demons. Yes the person who named Piyush that you all know was coined by Kaka, who is no more with us physically.
