Encourage-One-Another

The next morning Sunday I took sister suman to the town medical hospital for her better treatment, since it was Sunday the nursing staff said the surgeon specialist won't visit I need to admit her but with a condition her family members should be present all day! I had to return to Kolkata on Sunday so I was not in a position to accompany her throughout the entire day. Hence took her to a nearby medical x-ray centre for an x-ray!

I asked for advice where I can do a better treatment and which surgery specialist is available on Sunday, thanks to Radharani everything was just in place for the sister! Dr. Sasmal a renowned surgery specialist reviewed and examined her leg injury and referred her to Kolkata medical college for a plastic surgery!
He shared a few hospital names in Kolkata who took care of plastic surgery treatment!!

I immediately spoke to Sister Suprabha Allath who runs Maher NGO in Kolkata and shared her all the medical details and photos of sister Suprabha. Sister Suprabha reviewed the medical details and agreed to keep Sister Suman at Maher for better medical treatment and temporary shelter!

The next step is to visit the local police station for a GD and provide GDE number to Sister Suprabha for rehabilitation!!

The day before yesterday I found an abandoned woman named Kumari Suman lata in my native town market near Narajol Rajbari, West Medinipur!

The lady is from UP , Basti district, Nargaon area, she accidentally came to the medinipur via Delhi to Kharagpur train! The fact that astonished me is she had a severe injury and fracture in her left toe. I was buying medicine from my mom and then observed her standing nearby with a very gloomy face! Her crest fallen face heeded my attention and I enquired more about her , then eventually found that she had been abandoned by her family members!

I immediately asked the local market people about her then discovered she has been in this market for a week and she can barely walk! I asked for advice from local people and I immediately took her to the Narajole Medical Hospital! Doctors and nursing stuff out there was extremely good, a primary level of treatment was done, bp, sugar, etc was measured! Doctors gave required medicines, then referred her to the surgeon specialist at our main town medical hospital!

After her medical treatment was done I took her to the Narajole Rajbari police camp to seek advice regarding transferring her to any NGO. After discussing with a few officers and the local King's neighbours they advised to shift her to Debanad Ashram for abandoned women for a temporary shelter! When I took the sister suman to Devanad ashram the mataji in charge immediately accepted her to provide shelter for few days only as per their rules. Aymt least God is so kind to take her from road to a shelter for few days that made sister suman a bit confident and safe.

Next day I was planning to take her to maintown medical hospital for better treatment as referred by the Narajole hospital doctor. When Radharani and Krishna are with you and they both provide you strength, courage and right connection at the right time then you don't have to put much effort, just keep praying for more compassion, humility and generosity to serve the distressed and abandoned!

🪷🪔🪷Lord Narasimha, the fourth avatar of Vishnu, manifested as a ferocious half-man, half-lion to protect his young devotee Prahlad from his tyrannical father, King Hiranyakashipu. Emerging from a pillar to honor Brahma's boon, Narasimha slew the demon at twilight on a threshold, proving that faith and dharma triumph over evil.

🪷🪔🪷Prahlad, an ardent devotee of Vishnu, was subjected to multiple murder attempts by his father, Hiranyakashipu, who considered himself superior to God. Narasimha placed Hiranyakashipu on his lap and disemboweled him with sharp nails on the threshold of the palace, protecting Prahlad.

🪷🪔🪷When life is in the midst of danger and our boat ⛵ is about to sink , when our hopes are buried , when everything seems drowning in the darkness, when the evils are dancing on top our head and suppressing and abusing us to an extent we can no longer tolarate - Then our Lord Narasimha appears in the form of a saviour on a very auspicious day to protect and safe gaurd us from all kind of danger, evil domination and hopelessness! In my life my daughter and son are my biggest saviours born on Navaratri (Sarita) and Jaganath Rath Yatra day (Krishna)!

🪷✨🪷 Attended a Kirtan & Mangal Arati program at Iskon Panihati and Iskon Newtown few months back! My cousin is a full time Iskon devotee and that helps to meet with many other devotees and learn from them! It was indeed a beautiful experience to be part of the program and chanting with the devotees on both KIRTAN and Mangal Aarati! (devotional chanting)

Devotional chanting helps overcome maya - illusion/material temptations by focusing the mind on the Krishna- effectively purifying consciousness and breaking the attachment to temporary material desires. By regularly chanting the RadhaRani and Krishna's name—especially with devotion one creates a spiritual light that dispels the darkness of ignorance and tests by Maya.

🪷✨🪷Key Aspects of Kirtan to Overcome Maya: The Power of Sound: Kirtan serves as a direct, powerful method to "put oneself in the presence of Krishna," where Maya cannot remain.

✨🪷✨Maya acts as an agent of Krishna, testing sincere devotees. Taking shelter through chanting helps one remain steady amidst these disturbances.

🪷✨🪷Maya (illusions) and Moha (moha) is very strong! Constant careful chanting is needed to avoid being captured again by material desires and worldly temptations!
