Ghosts stalk Thai tsunami survivors
in Thailand...
The study of veD reveals that: "
Any human being who die in
aDHigti mode, meaning ending life before
one's ordained time of death due to suicide, un-ordained accidents and other
means to end life, the future life-travel of his/her
aat`maa (soul) will be as follows:
-
The aat`maa
will not continue on new and normal birth-death life-travels in
sNsaar. The normal
ordained death leads you to svARg (heaven)
where one will
receive puAN`y kARm-fl or
nrk (hell) where one will
receive paapi kARm-fl. And then
one will return to pRUthvii-lok to be re-born to receive the remaining
kARm-fl in the
form of any living beings according to if the balance of one's
kARm-fl which could be
puAN`y
or paapi. Excess of
puAN`y kARm-fl
balance gives human birth in an
appropriate family and with appropriate body design with strength or
weakness or defect to create the right environment to recieve the
kARm-fl. Excess of
paapi kARm-fl balance gives animal, plant or other microscopic living
forms and rock. puAN`y kARm-fl is due to one's
kARm in all life-travels to the
current life-travel which created happiness
and joy in others. paapi kARm-fl is due to one's
kARm in all life-travels to the
current life-travel which created pain
and suffering in others. and
-
The aat`maa
will be held in a "suspended" state in
suKSHm shrir called
bhog-daeH in
aNtriKSH aakaash (space between
pRUthvii-lok &
svARg-lok in the form of
pRaet
(ghost);
-
The aat`maa
will be released from the "suspended" pRaet
form only if
relevant veDik viDHio (rites) are performed in accordance with
veD and
shaasTR. (one of the means is to read the 3rd chapter of
bhgvD giitaa at
the place of death).
(The above shared by
SRii chmpklaal Daajibhaai misTRii from his
veD library)....
Now read how true the above his from the
reports coming out the Sumatra Earthquake-tsunami disaster area....
BBC News, Phuket: By Tony Cheng: January 25, 2005:
Lek looks nervously at the Patong sea shore as he describes the passengers
who climbed into his tuk tuk minivan late at night on 6 January. "Go to Kata
Beach", the seven foreign tourists told him, after agreeing on a 200 baht
fee.
He drove a while, but then felt numb all over his body. Looking around he
saw the cab was empty. He had had what he thinks was an encounter with the
ghosts that many say are haunting the beaches and resorts on Thailand's
Andaman coast.
And the religious charms he wears around his neck are not helping him
overcome his fears. "I can't get over this. I'm going to have to get a new
job. I have a daughter to support, but I'm too scared to go out driving at
night," he said........ |
Relatives of the dead are turning
to traditional practices for help for the aat`maa (souls) of the dead
and for their own peace of mind
Local Thailand folk beliefs have given monks the power to
dispel troubled spirits, and many are prepared to provide "protection" if it
is needed. As per a Buddhist monk, The venerable Bhikkhu Sugandha:
"At such times religion is very important because there is
nothing else "
AND TO HOUSE A HUMAN BODY IS EASIER ....
Housing is a priority for helping victims return to some
sense of normality |

Ghosts stalk Thai tsunami survivors
in Thailand...(continued)
Lek's experiences are by no means unique.
Other apparitions which have been reported include a foreign woman, whose
screams echo through the night from the wreckage of a hotel that was
particularly badly hit.
A security guard on the site has already left his job because he could not bear
it anymore.
In Khao Lak, a local family say their telephone constantly rings through the day
and night. When answered, the voices of friends and relatives cry out to be
rescued from the flames of the crematorium.
Such reports, according to psychologist Dr Wanlop Piyamanutham, are signs of
post traumatic stress disorder.
He pointed to the fact that many stories started to appear about 10 days after
the wave struck.
That was when the real horror of the loss and devastation hit people, he says.
Now it is spreading beyond those immediately affected.
"With all of the pictures on the television, and everyone talking about the
disaster, it affected many more people, who have reported seeing ghosts and
smelling corpses," he said.
And Dr Wanlop has an explanation for why such a large number of "foreign" ghosts
have been seen.
"Foreigners make a big impression on Thais," he said.
"They're physically imposing, and often seem rich and powerful. If people like
that die in terrible circumstances, it's not surprising they should come back in
people's minds as ghosts, especially when they have so far to get home."
Peace of mind
That might provide a logical explanation, but it does not provide much comfort.
For that, many Thais have turned to Buddhism, the majority religion in the
country.
Although superstitious beliefs are common in Thailand, with many houses
incorporating a spirit house to appease local ghosts, Buddhist scripture has
guidance on dealing with the supernatural, much of which is a remnant of
previous animist religious practices which pre-date the arrival of Buddhism.
Relatives are turning to traditional practices for help
Local folk beliefs have given monks the power to dispel troubled spirits, and
many are prepared to provide "protection" if it is needed.
"We can do nothing to ward off the spirits", says the venerable Bhikkhu Sugandha,
"but if it helps make people feel more comfortable, we can be around to comfort
them."
He believes that in a period of crisis, monks can provide a very useful
counselling service.
"At such times religion is very important because there is nothing else. The
service the monks provide is just to listen, to be there, and to let them know
that there is someone more grounded to listen."
Other religions are offering more direct help, and Patong beach has seen several
"exorcisms" performed by Chinese spiritualists in the last few weeks.
In one, white robed monks from the Pu Ta Gong sect chanted prayers and offered
sacrifices of food to the spirits.
Special offerings of pizza were included for foreign 'spirits', and paper
clothes and money were burned to help in the passage to the after world.
As clouds of incense drifted down the white sand and over the calm blue waters,
the troubled spirits of the dead and missing were urged to return home, for the
sake of the peace of mind of the living.
