ANTIM YATRA

all life forms are destined to die!

All life forms, whichever kingdom they belong to – vegetable, animal or human – are destined to die. Even inanimate objects undergo mutation over time. Then why are we afraid of death? Is it because death will, all too suddenly, transport us from light to darkness, from a known area to an unknown one? Is our fear of death merely fear of the unknown?

G.M.S. expresses its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prays to God to grant eternal peace to the departed souls and strength to their families to bear with fortitude their irreparable loss.

Chhibber, I.R.S. (Retd.), Vice-President GMS, suddenly departed for his celestial abode on May 6, 2008 at Chandigarh. For the parents the death of an only son is too shocking, heart rending and a calamitous tragedy. The magnitude of their grief, suffering, pain and hurt is inconsolable and beyond comprehension and understanding. The scars and deep wounds inflicted on the family can never ever be healed which stands shattered. Aman’s demise is a big blow to young sister Sakshi, whom he loved most.

Aman was born on 24th Sept. 1983 at Chandigarh and graduated from Punjab University and was doing his MBA (4th Semester) with Chitkara Business School Chandigarh, affiliated to Punjab Technical University Jalandhar.

Aman possessed a striking personality and was of genteel mannerism.

His Kriya ceremony was held on 16th May 08 at Bhagwan Parshuram Bhawan, Sector-37, Chandigarh, attended by relatives, friends, members of the community from Chandigarh, Ambala Barara and Kurukshetra all of whom were crestfallen and in sombre mood at the demise of the young lad of the community.

GMS offers its deep condolences to the bereaved family and prays to Almighty God to grant peace to the noble soul and strength to the family to bear stoically and fortitude their great loss, a loss of the entire fraternity.

The grief stricken parents are urged to transcend their devastating grief and seek solace and peace for their beloved son at the feet of the Lord Almighty.
