Sreemayee - From Here Unto Eternity
There could be no describable pain, ever, as excruciating as that of losing a daughter and an only child. Plucked out prematurely from a Life of Hope and Promise, which was only intending to enrich and exalt Life itself, it just did not add up right. For someone, who wished only the best for everybody and everything she encountered, Happiness for All, being the aim of her existence, Life certainly lost out, with this untimely passing.
There is a peculiarity in such a Passing. What is no longer there, now, is almost everywhere. The existence from a given place moves to become existent in every thing you think, speak or do.
An All Pervasiveness is now an experiential reality.
Sreemayee was born into this world by Divine Will and as it now seems, only for a Divine Purpose.
She was put into a Medical Undergraduate Course, pulled out from an Arts Course she was studying for. Her JeJe Baba did so. While she loved her new pursuit, the medical education journey was arduous. Her becoming an Anaesthetist was intrinsically linked to Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani. In Sanjeevani she found the Purpose of Her Pursuit. Her Life itself. A new equation emerged. ‘Sreemayee - Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani - Swami’. These were three components, soon merging into One.
She was no ordinary young Doctor. In every patient she first saw a Person. She sought to look beyond the anatomy of the body, the physiology of the heart as an organ. She was a keen student with a different approach. Different from the way Medicine is taught in Medical Schools. Different from the Way it is practised in Hospitals. Sathya Sai Sanjeevani being unique that it is a Totally Free of Cost Institution was her Universe to blend Health, Heart, and Humanity. Children were her World. Not surprising she remained one. She firmly believed All Life was Divine and sought to find it in Her Work.
To me, Sreemayee epitomised Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani. She defined it. She is, what it stands for. Sanjeevani is not just a Leading Paediatric Cardiac Hospital. It just doesn’t provide Cardiac care and train doctors. It is not just an Institute of Service. Sathya Sai Sanjeevani is Life. It is why we were born and why we believe every one is born for. It saves lives as much as it makes lives. There is none like it that I have known.
Just like Sreemayee, Sanjeevani defines Life as it gives Life to Lives. Many who will go forth to fill our World with Beauty and Goodness. To that Great End Sanjeevani strives every day with each Member of it’s Marvellous Team. Selfless and Relentless.
Like Sreemayee - from Here unto Eternity.
