Prayers and Meditations

Starting December 8, we are spending four days in prayers and meditations to mark Akshay's first anniversary on December 12, 2012. A special Trayambaka homam will be performed in Bahrain today. The year has flown past. Sweet memories of times spent with Akshay have lessened the heartache somewhat.

Tennyson has described the state of grief beautifully-
I sometimes hold it half a sin,
to put in words the grief I feel
For words, like Nature half reveal,
and half conceal the Soul within

This year the weather is unusually warm for December and the jasmines are in full bloom are making it feel like summer. There is absolutely no chill in the air, and that usual winter craving for plum cakes and stuff is just not there. They say it is El Nino effect - nah I think it is El Akshay. Nature responds to tragedies in her own way!
