Sri Krishna Bhagavan never forgets His Devotees

Devotees  always have one prayer or desire that they should always  remember Bhagavan Krishna  and never forget Him  and at the point of death they should remember Him.

Last week I got a chance to visit a beautiful temple of Sri Krishna in the outskirts of Madrid and the devotee who took us to the temple told us that how he came to Krishna bhakti . This devotee had a paternal  Aunt who was a great devotee of Krishna.

She was a kind and humble lady . She used to spend hours in bhakti and was a regular visitor of Vrndavana  dham. She always had a desire that whenever she leaves her body her ashes should be immersed  in Yamuna river in Vrndavan dham. With age she got affected by alzeimers and her condition was so critical that she  was not able to recognize anyone not even her husband and her only sonOne day she requested her husband to take her to Vrndavan dham . Her husband advised her not to go in such a condition but she was adamant like a child. Somehow her husband agreed and sent her to Vrndavan with her friend . Next day after reaching Vrndavan she called her husband to come immediately to the temple . When asked for the reason she did not say anything and just told him to reach as soon as possible.   He reached there without delay and asked for the reason.

She told that Krishna is waiting for her to take her with Him. He asked, "Where is He? . I can't see Him". She said , "Yeah you cant see Him . He is there standing near the door".  Saying this she left her body.  

When I heard this,  my eyes were filled with tears . What a beautiful death? Actually we always fear that whether we will remember the Lord at the time of death. No matter whether  a devotee is having alzeimers  or is  in coma or in any such condition at the time of death and is not able to remember or chant the holy name of Bhagavan . However, Bhagavan Krishna never forgets His devotees . He will personally come and will take His devotee with Him.

Such pastime inspire us to realize the greatness of Bhagavan Sri Krishna  and help us to grow spiritually .
