Tooooo late, Kusum, as far as this topic thread and human being to serve it is concerned.

And you know what? For this kind of procedure (and admin. ordering settlement in medicine-tech), our lovely late fellow-traveller was much too small yet (!), you won´t believe it….

“And with Trump & Co. preparing all kinds of horrors – maybe even nuclear wars – it could very well be that Osho was right when he said that “the old man” is heading for global suicide.”

Bodhi Heeren, why don´t you write an article over old sannyas mind´s morbid fascination with global suicide?

“All unemployed people are lazy and parasites.”
Exceptions are sannyasins. Through their non-doing they change the software in human brain.

There are some surgeries where the surgeon reduces the size of the stomach inside (gastric sleeve surgery etc.) & it gives the stomach feeling full & the person does not eat much. Some have this as weight-loss surgery as well.

Thank you for the link, Parmartha, and the most important in it (for me) is that Pari has been SITTING with his friend, Anna, while they both were listening to the tape Veetman has contributed.

As also very important is Anna´s clear insight in discerning the Bardo of Living and the Bardo of Dying needs to get mentioned again and also re this thread topic.

The point is, to have a friend or friends by your very side in crucial moments. Or not.

Anyway, any setting-situation happening by life itself has to be accepted, doesn’t it?

I knew Veetman personally from ages and ages ago (before he started his Institute and started to wear ´a black robe´ (so to say).

Beauty, to feel you warm heart, in response to the news-no-news about late Vismay, Parmartha, and same thanks goes to Arpana today.

Kusum, have you introduced yourself?
Is there someone at sannyasnews who knows a bit about you?
Are you an Indian living in UK?

I have wondered if it’s the nature of being human to be addicted to something or other, but some addictions are life-enhancing and some are not.

Bloody awful when someone you know goes through something like this. Bloody rotten for them. Just bloody rotten.

I knew Vismay personally, and he was a good guy who had his problems, and no-one would deny that. But he had a brave and great heart.

He was addicted to food, and this may be a problem of varying depths amongst us all. However, I have sometimes felt that the shores of some therapies popular within Sannyas don’t seem to touch such addictions, even when they are addiction-orientated. Maybe no therapies can reach such things, though I am told that more simple therapies like cognitive behaviour therapy do have some good results there.

Thanks for your contribution, Madhu.
Within Sannyas I think your compatriot Veetman proves a very good servant of the sannyas community on the death front:
See the link below where Pari (who is himself now dead) sits with his friend who is dying with the help of the Bardo tapes from Veetman.
