Deepti Chacko blog

No one from the Majumdar family was alive now to answer any queries. The last were a nuclear family of 6 whose car fell offthe cliff near Badi Ghati. Investigating officers den were in deep puzzle as to howall 6 bodies were found bald.

Baba’s investigations so far suggested more than 1 souls involved and dat too in suspicious circumstances like dis, Baba always prefered Kali pujan to gather enough strenght to communicate to d souls in trouble. Hence he decidea to conduct d Kali Pujan in d hospital surroundings. Ramani, Sati and Baba settled on d floor of d upper surgical ward….as baba drew a rangoli of unusual colors. He was chanting continuesly…once he finished rangoli, he placed some skulls on specific locations in d rangoli. He asked Ramani and Sati to close eyes and no matter wotever dey hear or feel shud not open der eyes. The girls agreed. Baba began his puja and d scared girls closed der eyes tight. Chanting regourously baba called out to the souls to show demselvess…..on an otherwise village wide puja, d distressed soul wud ahow up as a seed and den grow in to the form dey lost der life… den baba strikes a conversation wid d soul and negotiates for the human life and does the remedy for the soul’s relief or mukti.

As baba asked the souls to show demselves, 2 seeds appeared in d corner of the room….in a while 6 others appeared near the coridor and den innumerable seeds started to appear all across the Upper surgical ward until d nurses resting room…der was no seed aftr d room. Slowly des seeds began to grow and took the shape of small innocent children….crying…many blind…many injured but all bald. Dey all started talking…dey asked baba y did he disturb dem now? Y nobody cared for dem all des years…y now humans need shanti? Baba was experiancing dis for the first time…he panicked. ?.he tried to calm dem but dey wer angry…few of dem wer lying on the ground curled…and crawling…dey wer all in d most pathetic situation. Baba’ears wer drizzling in blood….it was like high intensity shocks passing through his ears…he yelled…shouted…..Ramani and Sati just embraced each other and in shear fear kept der eyes closed. Baba folded his hands and trembled on d ground….he requested dem to spare him….to listen to him…he will help dem help dem to mukti. But dey didnt stop….dey had sooooooo many questions dey kept asking queations one aftr other…dey wanted to know y der parents didnt try to help dem…y nobody came searching dem…y nobody fought wid the Majumdars to save dem…y der life was not valued…y dey wer not considered important enough have a fair last rites.  But just den the clock struck 3.01 and all of dem calm down….dey all sat down and held der ankles and put der head between their legs as if dey wer obeying someones command. Baba tried to spoke to dem…but dey wer too weak to communicate. Dey didnot talk much….Baba walked through the entire corridor…he shook few….lifted one in arms….tears flew down his cheeks…at their misery. Babas puja agni kund was loosing its fuel soon….dat means he had to try to get any info soon….before the fire goes off…once fire goes of they  will have to wait for anothe lunar cycle to strike the communication…. he just ran in all directions trying to find one child who cud help wid some information… he found one siting on d window….her legs wer hanging down and she was stable….she gazed into the sky trying to figure out something. ?.Baba could understand dat dis child wud be barely 5 years old. “Who r u?” Baba asked. “Y shud I bother?” D child retatiated. “I want to help u” baba spoke in calm voice. “How can u help me?” She asked him. “Tell me who are u and how all of des kids r trapped here? I can releave u from dis pain….I will five u mukti…” baba said gasping for breath. ” Mukti? But with out our story being heard….wid out justice to our sufferings how can we get mukti?” D child shivered as she spoke. ” tell me everything….I will take ur voice to d world….I will tell everyone of ur sufferings…I will make sure u get justice” baba urged. The child turned to baba…she held his hands and said, ” baba…baba….amhi shanghamitra…” but suddenly the room seamed all d more bright…d children vanished…Ramani and Sati sat embracing each other scared and shocked….baba came bac
to his senses….the havan puja kund was put off due to limited fuel…baba clinched his fist….he was so near to his success…he was about to hear the story of the missing children in Ramgarh, d story of their painfull deaths…and sufferings….

Now the wait for the next Amavasya seamed never ending….. will baba find Shanghamitra again from the crowd of suffering children? Will Shanghamitra tell him the story of der suffering? Will baba decode the real problem for the unfortuanate deaths in the upper surgical ward…..
