Time: Dec 17th, 2024
Place: Gosayighatta
Company: Brother and maternal uncles
Highlights: Unexpected & sudden demise of my father on 15th Dec. Had come to this same spot in Apr for my father's mother to disperse the ashes. At that time, I had helped my dad. Never expected to visit this same spot twice in the same year, and this time to disperse dad's ashes. Felt very morose about this entire thing.
Left home early morning to crematorium, collected the ashes, went to Karmanthara Vana, got the head shaved, did the rituals, and then went to Gosayighatta. Felt sleepy during the drive (maybe dozed off for a few seconds too), thankfully no mishaps! Guess, it was because of so many baths during rituals. Reached the spot, dispersed the ashes.
Then, unlike in April, when we went to Uttaradi Matha for lunch (where the experience was not so good), this time we went to Vyasaraja Matha and we were welcomed heartily. Post lunch, headed back to home. Reached home at about 5 pm.
That was that for my dad :-(
