My sister’s friend who is just 35 years old passed away a week back in cardiac arrest . Whole family is in shock. She was healthy with no record of physical issues.

She was the only one who wholly was taking care of that child without husband involvement.

This is Q of my 6 year old daughter- When I was dropping her off at school, she asked, “Mummy, if we cut the body with a knife, why doesn’t the soul die?” I replied, “Because it is written in the Gita that the soul is ageless and immortal.” Then she asked, “What is it about the soul that makes it impossible for it to die?”πŸŒŸπŸ•ŠοΈβ™ΎοΈπŸ€

Once I attended a study circle & listened there from a speaker that Arjuna had the ego. During bishad yoga when he left his gandiva dhanu then Sri Krishna taught him about dharma… The speaker in the study circle told that Arjuna had the ego that Sri Krishna & everybody would consider him as the great yodhha.
