I'll be seeing u..... soon!!!


The one truth I hold onto& believe is that when you’re in need God always sends his angles in some form or the other to help & supports us. One of the Angles sent to me was my Chachaji, Mr. Jagdish Kapoor.
My first memory of Chachaji is on my dad Tony Arun Kapoors funeral in 1992. He stood so tall, proud & handsome waiting it seemed, for me, in the hallway in front of the funeral parlour. As soon as I lay eyes on him I knew he had to be someone from my Dads family. The physical similarities between Chachaji & my dad were uncanny!!!!
From that first moment in time,& till date Chachaji has always been with, in some way, shape or form. My connection with him has always defied all logic, time & space. For me he was just not my grand Chachaji, he was my connection, my source, my guide to the spirit & spiritual world. He taught me that all that glitters is most definitely not gold! He showed me, & helped me see & understand the value of this human life. He had this amazing gentle & profound way in which he could take the most distressing situations & circumstances and turn them into blessings. He would just sit back smile, & in the calmest manner turn all my troubles into gifts from the divine!
To me Baba Jack was and will always be the most handsome, charismatic, charming, intelligent, loving, kind soul inside & out. I could sit beside him & listen to him talk 24/7. And with the same token I didn’t have to be around him physically to receive his Gyan & Wisdom. I just always knew when he wanted to tell or share something with me, & vice versa. We connected with each other, without the need of phones, letters, and messages. He would speak to me without speaking. He would comfort me without holding me. He would reassure without using words. All I needed to do was sit & close my eyes & meditate on him, and inevitable I would find peace.
Chachaji today is with his creator, and the rest of his soul family! He is in a place & plane where there is no pain, sorrow, or sadness! Just complete & eternal love, joy & peace! He has I know finally achieved MOKSHA!
I am saddened for myself, and for those who loved & cared for him. This is a very selfish emotion I know, because Chachaji knows not of any sadness or sorrow anymore!  He worked hard & long to arrive & be at the spiritual plane he is on now! So today I request all of you to please put your sadness, sorrow & grief aside & help celebrate his life, love, words, Gyan, kindness, generosity & Spirituality!
Chachaji, I’ll be seeing..... you soon!!!            Om Namoh Shiva!    Har Har Mahadev!
He is gone

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and dream that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.


Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.


You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind
be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
