Dear listener, welcome back to another captivating episode of the Mahakatha meditation mantras podcast. In this episode, we embark on a profound exploration of a subject that resonates deeply within the human experience - grief.

In this episode, we dare to venture into the tender spaces of our hearts, acknowledging the vast spectrum of emotions that accompany loss and the fear of losing those whom we hold dear. Together, let us uncover the fear, pain, and longing that often lay silently within us, offering solace and understanding in our shared experiences.

Through heartfelt reflections and poignant descriptions, we will delve into the universal nature of grief. Whether it be the ache of bidding farewell to loved ones, the lamentation for unrealized dreams, or the nocturnal visions that haunt our thoughts, we will bravely face the irrevocable presence of grief in our lives.

To accompany our exploration, we share with you a deeply personal and introspective poem titled "Love After Life." This evocative composition invites us to contemplate the transient nature of existence and offers a compassionate perspective on the eternal transformation of love.

But fear not, dear listener, for even in the face of sorrow, we discover the power of love and acceptance. As we traverse the delicate path of grief, we will turn our attention to Lord Shiva, the divine embodiment of transcendence and solace. Through the resonant vibrations of the Shiva Yajur Mantra, we will invite the support and strength of this timeless deity, finding solace even amidst the darkest of days.

If you wish to embark on a meditative journey with the Shiva Yajur Mantra, we have a special offer for you. By using the link provided in the episode description, you can enjoy a generous 30% discount on this enchanting chant, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in its healing vibrations.

So, my dear friend, join us on this sacred path of awareness, as we explore the depths of grief, embracing its universal presence in our lives. Together, we shall find comfort, healing, and ultimately, love, in the face of loss.

Dear listener, and welcome yet again to another

episode of the Mahakatha meditation mantras

podcast. I'm your host, Preeti, and I know that we

usually begin with a scenario or a question

at the start of the episode. But today's scenario or

today's question might be a little scary

or a little too painful to hear out loud.

The thing I want to talk to you about today is something

that we all go through, that we all are afraid

of going through and yet it is such an

unavoidable, inevitable part of all our

lives. And that inseparable part of our

lives that we are all secretly so afraid

of - is grief. Too many of us

are grieving all around the world for too many

different reasons. Many of us are grieving for

people who left us, people we never really

got a chance to say goodbye to. Many of us are grieving

for who we couldn't become, for

the opportunities that we will perhaps never have again.

And I know that all of us are sometimes in

the quiet of the night trying to grieve

for things that we haven't lost yet. I know

that you often have these visuals in front of

you, these scenarios playing out in front of you,

either of your own passing or of the passing of

someone you deeply, deeply Love. You are

so afraid to lose them.

You are so horrified of the shock and the pain

that you might have to endure, that your mind and your

body are trying to prepare

you in any way possible.

I know that we are grieving for the things that we will

someday lose for the people we will

someday lose. I know we all have sleepless

nights. I know we all go through this.

And while there are a 1,000 ways to talk about grief

and a 1,000 more to deal with

grief. Today, I'm here to purely

bring a moment of awareness and

share it with you. Today, I'm here to

be aware with you of all the grief

within us and the grief around us.

The grief that we can feel in our own hearts and the

grief that we don't know people are going through. I

just want us to be aware of how

universal this grief is, how human this grief

is. And as my humble piece, as

my humble suggestion, in

the thousands of ways that one can deal with grief,

I'm here to read you a poem that I wrote a couple of

years ago. A poem called

love after life. I hope you

enjoy it.

"Everything around

you was once something else. It

belonged to something else. It was a part of another

existence completely unaware.

Some of these things miraculous, we

see changing their form.

Going from a seed to a cotton flower,

getting soaked and dried in rain

to then becoming a thread in someone's dress,

getting soaked and dried in fragrant soap,

then disintegrating into an old rag

that wipes the dew off the window. And yet

again getting soaked and dried. Then

to a thousand little shreds buried under the

waste into the soil. Soaked

and dried a million more times

until it becomes a part of the soil

and rests with a million other

anonymous becomings. And then

one day, some of those reincarnated

grains of soil wake up as the

bed for the same seed they once

were without ever knowing.

Where were we? Where was I?

Drenched in how many raindrops and touched by

how many sun rays was I before I

was even me? I will never know.

So listen, my dear. When I leave,

I'll become a 1,000 other things too.

You won't know where I am or what I've become.

You won't know which flower to kiss or which tree is my

new mother. And so,

if you find yourself wanting to show me your love

again, you will simply have to

love everything and everyone in your

path. Unconditionally

like you always loved me.

Unconditionally like you always

loved me." I wrote

this poem about 2 years ago as part of a writing

challenge, and at that time I didn't know

that These words were coming from a deeper place than

I knew. But I hope you enjoyed this

poem. I hope it spoke to you as well.

Sometimes the only way to keep loving someone.

The only place to put all that excess

overflowing love that we have for this person who no longer

exists, is to pour it all

around us, is to spread it all around us.

Sometimes the only way is to love everyone and

everything. And speaking of loving

someone beyond the cycle of life and death,

we turn our attention to a mantra that is dedicated

to a God who is seen as way above the

cycles of life and death. To God who is

seen as comforting in our times of

grief and loss, to a divine

power that protects us even through

the darkest days. I'm talking

about lord Shiva. And the mantra I bring to you this

week is the Shiva Yajur Mantra.

This is a beautiful mantra to meditate with when your

mind is feeling overwhelmed with fear,

any fear including the fear of grief that we just

discussed today. This mantra is traditionally

practiced so that the mind can stand

on firm ground even when

fears try to shake it. If you'd like to listen to

this mantra and try meditating with it, you can

avail this chant at a 30% discount by using the

link in the description. Use your

time with this mantra to gently become

aware of any grief that is

unprocessed, any grief that you have suppressed for really

long. And once you gently awaken

this awareness of your grief, start

surrendering to the sounds of this mantra

and allow it to soothe you.

That's it for today's episode. Thank you once again dear

listener for joining in and I hope you enjoyed today's

episode and the poem. Do let me know your thoughts on

it. I will be back again next week with a brand new

episode and mantra. Until then, stay

blessed.
