Mom’s 1 year Rishikesh anniversary! Exactly one year ago I arrived in Rishikesh with my mom. She had had a devastating stroke in March 2021 and by Sept 2021 it was clear she was never going to improve in any substantial way. The neurologists told us there was nothing else they could do for her. She had lost most of her conscious awareness, so she was not aware of who she was, where she was, what had happened to her, or who most other people were.

By Oct 2021 she had lost the ability to walk or even stand, and she could no longer chew food. We had to liquify everything and spend HOURS trying to get her fed. She spoke very infrequently and what she said did not make much sense at all.

Then Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji - Muniji suggested we should bring her to Rishikesh. My dad and I realized that the suggestion was a divinely-inspired one (not surprising since it had come from Pujya Swamiji!) . If she could spend however much time she had left, in a beautiful place, on the banks of the Ganga, where I could be with her every day, where she would have an entire ashram full of deeply devoted and loving souls to look after her, it would be SO much better than the memory-care center we had reluctantly had to put her in.

So, we brought her to India. Over the last 1 year she has regained her ability to stand and walk (she needs support but she actively engages in standing and walking and no longer crumples to the floor helplessly). She no longer uses a wheelchair at all. She sits comfortably on a couch, or on a chair in the sunshine. She eats with gusto and bites and chews things as difficult as cookies or chapatis (but she prefers cookies to chapatis) She speaks quite a bit and what she says even makes sense. And most importantly, she is happy. She hasn’t regained cognition of who she is or where she is or what’s happened to her but she smiles and laughs and consistently responds to questions like “how are you?” with words like “fantastic” or “perfect” or “good.”

She gets physical therapy and a variety of specialized ayurveda acupressure. Most importantly, the two young women who live with her and the gentlemen who cook her food and wash her clothes are absolutely the Indian children she never had. They just love her up all the time and she loves them.

It has been the absolute greatest blessing to be able to bring her here and offer this to her. I remember the story she shared of when I first came to India and came to stay at Parmarth Niketan, before I even knew I would live her, and she had been very worried (as any American mom of a Stanford grad PhD student who just announced she had moved into an ashram because she saw God everywhere would be) so she had called a friend of hers in India to find out about the ashram and Pujya Swamiji. Her friend told her, "If that Swamiji lets your daughter stay in his ashram, it will be a great blessing not only for her but for your entire family for lifetimes to come." That blessing has already borne such beautiful fruit for her in this very lifetime....
