Sadhvi Shri Kulbala ji was suffering from cancer for some time and there appeared to be no improvement in her condition. I made a special request to the eminent Sadhvi Shri Ratan Shri ji to visit the Adhyatm Sadhna Kendra Kendra and undertake some specialized meditational practices which would perhaps prove to be beneficial. She accepted my request and in August-September 2019, arrived at the Kendra with other sadhvis.

From the Kendra, our instructor Anamika was guiding Sadhvi Kulbala ji in meditation. While it cannot be said that she had become healthier, it was true that her condition had become more stable and there was no further deterioration. Here, Paryusharan Kaal had come to an end and Sadhvis were concerned about staying too long at the Kendra and away from the designated quarterly residence and the balanced life of asceticism. While it was my earnest request that she stayed in the Kendra for some time, which could bring about some change in health, Sadhvis chose to return to her routine and lifestyle at Green Park.

Barely two weeks had passed when Sadhvi Kulbala Ji’s condition suddenly worsened and she passed away. Anamika had become greatly attached to Sadhvi ji as she was instructing her with a lot of dedication and Sadhvi ji too was reciprocating with equal concentration. When the news came of Sadhvi ji’s passing away, Anamika had gone home. Her mother called me and informed me that Anamika was extremely distressed and would not stop crying. She asked me to speak to her and console her.

I tried my best to console Anamika but she would not calm down. I don’t know what came over me, but all of a sudden, I suggested to her to attempt contacting the deceased Sadhvi ji during her meditation, which might bring her some peace. I had read some literature which stated that if one attempted to make contact with a departed soul or loved ones in the deeper states of meditation, then it was possible to communicate even in other planes of existence.

When I contacted Anamika after some time, she informed me that she was unable to establish contact with Sadhvi ji. To calm her down, I once again motivated her and asked her to go deeper into meditation and make another attempt.

After some time, Anamika called me and told me that she had been able to contact Sadhvi ji. While she had not been able to see Sadhvi ji, she was able to communicate with her. Sadhvi ji had told her not to grieve and calm down. She told Anamika that she was in a state of absolute happiness and if Anamika grieved for her, it would only pain her. She even enlightened Anamika about the truth of life and death and the facts about completing the journey while being filled with life. She then advised Anamika to neither suffer nor cause pain to anyone.

After this, Anamika calmed down. When she asked Sadhvi ji if she would be able to communicate with her whenever she wanted, Sadhvi ji did not make any promises.

While I personally do not have any experience in such matters, I do not even want to deny someone else’s experience. The rest I leave to the reader’s beliefs and understanding.
