Prayers for Kamala Kant In ICU


Raghunath dasa: Your prayers please. Kamala kant will be passing away over the next few days as they gradually reduce his oxygen intake and suffocate him to death as per his request -- after a year of no further recovery from his rat-lung disease. I didn't realize from reports that he was so cognizant of his surroundings and interactive. 

Before visiting personally, I thought he was some what comatose so was quite surprised to have him this interactive with Sarswati and me from a great number of attempts to talk and all the different hand gestures and the power of his grip while he held hands with us for about 40 mins as we sat and sang Hare Krsna to him and other such interactions. He was constantly trying to reach for something around his body and regularly gyrating his hands and repeatedly adjusted himself in bed. Quite sobering and our hearts melted to see his great frustration to communicate, but so thankful to get this time with him in his last days.

[PADA: Yes, prayers and good luck to this spirit soul. It is both sad, and simultaneously a good thing -- by Krishna's arrangement -- when these people depart. They are simply suffering in this body and they need to move on to a new situation. I really don't know who this prabhu is, what particular sangha he is associated with, or what his situation has been. However he may simply be another anonymous soldier who gets no attention. Anyway, Krishna always knows who is who and what is what. 

This rat lung disease looks like a really bad condition in any case, and in such hopeless cases its better to leave this body behind and move along. If anyone has some thing to say about this devotee, or would like to advertise his eventual funeral ceremony etc. and would like to have it added here, send to: angel108b@yahoo.com.]
