An Ode to my Foster Father !

Dearest Dr K.C. Mohanty Sir, My loving foster Father, its a special day today.... 16th June... your real Birthday, which not many knew while you walked this Earth. I cherish the wonderful times when you nurtured my mind with positive teachings, taught me many a things in life...made me who I am ...raised my consciousness and gave me the wings to fly... and  its a pleasant co-incidence to have Fathers' Day being celebrated today... the very essence of the pure and beautiful relationship we shared.

The day you suddenly departed forever, I was totally broken and didnt know what will I do without you..in times of pain or despair and times of dilemmas or difficulties or decision-making.. I now know you actually pushed me in the ocean of life because you knew I was scared to swim alone... you wanted me to learn the lessons on my own and become independent... although you never left me alone... because you made sure you introduced some precious souls in my life who will continue to be my guiding stars and souls to reach out in times of Earthly difficulties in your abscence..and I still feel your presence...as if you warmly put your Blessing hand on my head and bless me... continue to guide and support me and my growth ...guiding on my journey... sending supportive people and messages in different ways...from a different realm altogether, just like you used to say while being present in physical form, "Beti I will be able to help you much more and in far better ways from above than I can do for you right now" in your Oriya accent and heavy tone of voice...and my eyes would, at that very moment, fill with tears just at the mere thought of not being able to see you in physical form someday!

I am trying best to gather and implement all you taught and values you tried to instill in me..some of which I took up instantly... some of which I  could accept and apply slowly...some of which I couldnt understand but now am able to comprehend better...some to which I was a rebel and NOW  am getting to learn the relevance of all you used to advise me to push me in direction of growth..

Your kindness, integrity, discipline and magnanimity is unmatched!

Know that I wish you peace, bliss, joy and love wherever you are and I pray for your souls' ultimate Liberation.

Happy Birthday & Happy Fathers Day!
From your loving Foster Daughter...

IN MY THOUGHTS, HEART, ACTIONS AND LOVE, YOU ALWAYS ARE and SHALL REMAIN ,
GRATITUDE AND LOVE TILL INFINITY ,

Yours,
Racchana

In Loving Memory of
Emeritus Dir. Prof. Dr. K. C. Mohanty
Inspiring life from 16th June 1940 - 1st June 2017

The Man who inspired,
The Man who forged ahead in life,
The Man who swam against the tide,
Is finally no more !
He kept only giving,
To all near and far !
Kept His sorrows to just himself,
Reason? - spread only happiness,
In this much harrowed world!
His knowledge of material and spiritual world,
Was deeper than oceans afar!
His ability to lead the masses was unmatchable!
His service to humanity was impeccable!
His only prayers to God,
Was to serve one and all ,
Till He breathed His last...
Indeed He was a Sainlty soul,
For He -
Gave without expectations...
Forgave without reservations...
Helped without hesitations...
Taught without limitations...
Loved without prejudices...
Lived like theres no tomorrow...
Laughed like He never had sorrows...
Blessed everyone impartially, Just like a Saint!
Guided people with best of His knowledge,
& to the best of their interests..
Helped everyone to the best of His capability!
Saved everyone from dangers,
While Himself standing in the storms!
Who never said no to anyone asking for help!
He was indeed rare of His kind,
A Man of His words,
Who would always walk His talk!!!
His life reflects many sacrifices He made,
To  lead an honest and righteous life!
A Man above all trivialites of the mundane - from religion and caste to hatred, ill-will, jealousy or animosity !
A Man who practiced what he preached,
And kept teaching all -
That :
Work is Worship, Work is Religion, Work is Relaxation !
&
Movement is Life , Stagnation is Death!
Now finally He remains in our hearts,
As a loving and cherished memory,
Of all that He was !!!
He was surely God's Beloved Child,
His pure Soul has finally departed,
From this Materialistic world,
To rest in peace,
In the lap of Selfless Almighty God !

Love and Very High Regards and Respect Eternal

-His Loving daughter
