Jai Gurudev! Last month we lost a pioneer devotee of Bhakti Marga KZN, the beautiful and beloved Simi Makan. Simi fought her battle with cancer bravely and was eventually called to rest. For those of you who had the good fortune to meet her and interact with her, you would agree when we say ' To know her is to love her'. As her body became ravaged by the cancer and it became weaker, we watched her heart; mind and spirit become so much stronger. The realisations she had during her illness, many of us will never have. The undying and unshakeable faith in Guruji and her gratitude for every single day that she woke up, or was pain free or could digest a meal without becoming physically ill afterwards. All of these things we took for granted. We watched her love for everyone and everything blossom and she held on to Guruji's feet right till the end. We have so much to share about our experiences with Simi but let us rather share a few things that we have learnt from her.

TRIBUTE TO SIMI MAKAN BY DHARMENDRA

1) Firstly, always love, cherish and respect your spouse, be each other's strength, not weakness. What you put into your marriage is what you will get back.2) Play board games as a family. It's an excellent way to bond and one day will become cherished memories. 3) Always find the fault in yourself before passing blame to others. 4) Forgive everyone who has hurt you but most importantly, forgive yourself. 5) Always keep your sense of humour, even when you are terminally ill. (She had hers till the end)6) ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FAITH. We may have physically lost a dear friend, wife, confidant, mother and role model but her lessons and memories will forever be remembered. They say it's not how you start your life that matters, but it how you end it that counts. Simi has won this race and we are so happy for her. May her love and light be with all of us. Rest in Peace.

SWAMI VISHWANANDA’S TWITTER UPDATES 03/06/2015: “The mind is the real enemy and a supremely formidable one with which a bhakta on the spiritual path has to wage a ceaseless war. The mind make one forget about the Lord who have created all and makes one enjoy the pleasure of the senses and enslaves one to the 5 deadly enemies which hinder the spiritual progress in oneself. These are; anger which destroys the concentration and waste the power needed to attain the ultimate goal, lust which drag the attention of the mind to the lowest center and lead one to dissipation, greed keep the mind busy onto the material things forgetting the true spiritual wealth, attachment which binds the mind to worldly temporary things, to friends and relatives making one dependent and a slave to them preventing one in elevating oneself to the higher region of God consciousness and finally the Ego who makes one think that one is the doer of all and that is the master itself and can accomplish whatever it wants.

When the mind of the bhakta is surrendered to the Guru and lord these enemies doesn’t have its power over the dedicated one as its the heart qualities which awake and bring the grace of God and realization to oneself, its through surrender that the weak get its strength, the seeker get the divine sight, the lover attain the beloved, the devotees attain God, those who serve get true happiness and bliss, the sinner attain holiness, to the one which is bonded attain freedom and the mortal beings realize the immortality. All comes naturally as its all God’s grace.”
