Message Book for Rev. Nalanieji

With much sadness we heard of the passing of Shanky Chellaram - the husband of our dear Nalanieji. Shanky passed away on the 23rd of December at 8.40 pm peacefully, surrounded
by his family.

Many of you may want to send a message of love and support to Nalanie at this time, but also not want to disturb her - so we have set up this on-line Message Book for you.

Simply click on the "Comments" button under this and write your message and your name - Nalanieji will then be able to read them all at her leisure when she is ready to.

"For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." Bhagavad Gita II, 20

Ever with you at His Beloved Lotus Feet
your loving servant

Dear Nalanie

No words can describe Shanky's crossing over. The strength you and your angelic and blessed family showed on boxing day and on sunday was truly beyond words. Yoga in action, a true inspiration to everyone present who watched perfection in awe. I am certain Gurudev is and has always been with you 24/7, guiding and preparing you.

My prayers and thoughts are always with you. May Gurudev's light and love enveloppe you in peace, knowing that Shanky and Gurudev are now together helping you fulfill your mission on earth. You and your children lived and are constantly living Gurudev's teachings, something I sincerely pray with all my heart I can do too one day. True yogis.

With my everlasting love.

OM shanthi, shanthi, shanthi

Dearest Nalanieji,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved husband. What can I say but we are thinking of you and your lovely family all the time. We heard of Shankyji's memorial and it sounded just divine, he was just a warm and generous man, I have such fond memories of him on our retreat in Portugal. Shanky and Gurudev together forever now...
All my love to you,
Our love and hugs and kisses from Australia

Dearest Nalanie,

I don´t know what to say... Shanky and you and your whole family have been
in my heart for so long... and now he´s made the transition, and is no
longer physically with you. I´m glad he´s free from his body, and that the
suffering has ended. And I know that God is very PRESENT with you, that
Shanky is near to you. But I feel your loss and the terrible trial you have
been through, and I pray that now a time of rest may come, a time of quiet
and inner listening to PEACE. Little Talia is also on my mind, and I hope
that she is better, and her parents can find some time to rest too.

You´re in my heart, as you know. Endless blessings and love are flying your
way, and also thanks for showing us how to go through so much pain in
equanimity and peace. May you be surrounded by ever so much love, healing
and strength,

Om Shanti, warm hug,

Marion

To my very special friend Nalanie

I am so fortunate to have met Shanky, a man to be much admired and respected, to gravitate towards naturally, drawn by the sincerity of his smile and the warmth of his personality. Even though I had only begun to get to know him I could tell he was someone special, someone who's presence could light up a room and fill it with joy. Such intellect and humour, so interesting and a delight to spend time in his company - the ideal soul mate to you and perfect father to your children.
Shanky, I was hoping to get to know you better here on earth but now I must be patient until we meet again. Until then you will live on in our hearts and your time on earth will serve as an example of how we should all live life: to the full and full of love.
God bless you and Nalanie and your family.

Love and light

Les

Dear Nalanie,

I´ve lost my dear sister, 31 year old, with diabetes, this past year.
I realize that God gives us this very hard experiences with a higher goal, they hide a great mystery, not easely understood by our egos.
Blessed is this suffering that sets us free...
Our Love is with you.
Om Shanti,Shanti,Shanti

Dearest All... Hari Om!!! And Happy New year to you all..

I finally got the energy to look at my mail... Thank you all for those heart waming messages... It is a painful time and the loss is hard on my heart.

But I am so grateful that Shanky left his body so peacefully and surrounded by his whole family singing mantras and stroking him and telling him to look for the lIght and for Gurudeva. Telling him how much we loved him and thanked him for being in our lives.

We told him not to worry about us and to move to a beautiful place ... He breathed his last breath gently, smiled and slipped away graciously... We miss him so much and we do know time will heal all.

I am truly grateful for all Gurudeva's teachings and all those years of couselling others through their sorrow.. It has truly helped me keep equanimity of mind at this diificult time... Yoga does work. The mind is a powerful instrument and training it just makes so much sense.

I am deeply grateful for all the love and prayers you all have showered me and my family with... It has helped us all , Prayers are dynamic thought waves that fly through the ether to the person that is prayed for... with so much love and sincerity, the impact is far greater.

Thank you all for that wonderful Gift... May you surround all and yourself with love, compassion, kindness, goodness and peace...Ever at His Feet Of Light...Loves nalanie

Dearest Nalanieji,

Words seem to loose their true meaning on an occasion like this ... None can express the grief you are going through, and none can express how much we feel your pain.
And once again we witness how you teach us about unconditional love, courage, equanimity and acceptance. May you always have the strength and courage to continue being our beloved Teacher and Friend.
We are sending you our most sincere, heartfelt loving energies. God bless you.
