Srimathi Sumangali RAmarAju VIJAYAkrishna Lakshmi KAmeswari : ' Garuda PurANam ' : VIJAYAkrishneswari JeevAathma: Jaathasya Marnam Dhruvam = One who is born will have to die -- Maranasya Jaatham Dhruvam = One who is dead will be reborn , and what we are now talking about is what happens in between death and rebirth. Our life span is not measured in the number of tears but in the Number of Breaths allotted to each one of us by Aadya Brahma . A Breath is One Respiration = Inspiration ie inhalation + Expiration ie exhalation. The normal Respiratory Rate is 18 respirations per minute = 1,080 per an hour = 25,920 per one day = 9 million 333 thousand in an year - each one is awarded a fixed quantum of breaths and what Yoga says is we can prolong our life span by economizing on number of breaths we take by practicing deep intake of breath , holding it as long as you can for about a minute and so on . During one's life time we should realize that every breath is A Gift and Every Day Is A Divine Gift .Every Sunrise is A Blessing , but remember that Sun will set and will rise again and so it is about cycle of birth - death - rebirth. So we need to realize that A Natural Death after a full span of life beyond not less than 85 years is as Physiological as A Natural Birth 10 months after conception , but we are all afraid of Death as fear is ingrained with in our Psyche . MArkandeya when 16 years of age was informed about impending death embraced Siva linga and was rescued from The Yama Paasam ( death rope ) . Sathi SAvithri fearlessly followed Yama Dharma RAja and rescued Her husband Sathyavaan's Life . Five year old Nachiketha was banished by His father to Yama Lok and was received very cordially by Yama Dharma RAja , bestowed with boons and was sent back with Gift of ' Nachiketha Agni ' - all the above incidents are preordained , so the moral is we need not be afraid of Benevolent Yama when our time is not up and similarly one can not escape the ultimate destiny when once our allotted number of breaths are used up. - - Om Thath Sath - So Be It - To Be Continued - ANASOOYA - Aathreya - ATHRISON - Sesha-Aanjaneya - VIJAYAkrishneswari Lakshmi KAmeswari RAMARAJU.
