God Saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So he wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didnt deserve what you went through,
So he gave you rest.
Gods garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when i saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again

Raj Shah

Birth   :   19th August 1996
Death :   1st October 2007


Raj was a very special son and taught us to live with compassion and dignity.  From a very young age he had plenty of spirit, a gentle sense of humour and always hungry for knowledge and eager to learn.

In his short life, Raj travelled the globe and touched everyone’s lives with his zest for life & his glowing cheerful smile.  He showed tremendous courage, determination & a positive attitude to succeed everyday in everything he did.

He knew how to recite his Navkar Mantra, 24 Tirthankar names, Uvassaggaharam Stotra, Logassa Stotra, Prabhu Darishan, Samaro Mantra & Gayatri Mantra.

To endure what he endured and then to attain Nirvana so calmly and bravely showed a maturity & wisdom that people many times his age have not learnt.  What a lesson to us all.  For it’s not the quantity of days that we survive on earth that really matters but the quality and intensity of our living.

The world has lost a Diamond, but he has left a wonderful sparkle that will be with us all, forever.

Not gone from Daddy’s memory, Not gone from Mummy’s love,
But gone to shine with God, In his beautiful Home above.

A little flower, just lent, not given, to bud on earth and bloom in Heaven

May his soul rest in peace

Birth   :   7th September 1952 Nairobi
Death :   5th November 2005 London


To - Dear Harish & Rikesh
DO NOT WEEP

Do not stand near my ashes or memorial & weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond that glints upon the snow
I am the sunlight & moonlight (Chandni) on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you wake up in the mornings hush
And rush to get ready - I am like a bird in search of food
I am like a playful cat that purrs with joy when happy
I am the soft twinkling star that shines at the night
Do not stand near my ashes or memorial & weep
I am not there - I did not die - I am still with you
Even though you cannot see me, hear me or feel me
Your Chandni will always be with you both Harish & Rikesh
They say ashes to ashes & dust to dust
If you must know no one can break up
The bond between Harish, Chandni & Rikesh
From - your ever-loving Chandni !
