Soul Mate..!


Having a 'Soul Mate' such a wonderful thought.....!!! we all must have been secretly longing for a soul mate in our life. And we keep on searching that in our relationships . But as we understood your soul mate need not be your husband or lover — a past life relation, a distant pen friend or an old crush may hold the key to your soul, here it discovers thru few example of incidents.
RAGINI folds the creased letter and glances into an auburn skyline. A poignant pause ensues. “The letter's from Adam Hill… he’s my soul mate,” she rushes to finish, catching her breath to add, “I don’t know if you’ll understand.” In the complex maze of urban humanity, a 30-yearold, married software geek is claiming a cosmic connection with an Australian mountaineer she’d met as a young woman of 20 on an exchange programme. “He’s much older and was engaged to his present wife when we met. On the night of our farewell, an Australian friend introduced us. Something unspoken transpired as we talked for the rest of the night,” says Ragini.

Ragini’s story is distinct as she remains physically distanced from her ‘soul mate’, “happily married” as she claims. “A lot of people are curious about my sexual equation with Adam. He completes me, he’s my twin soul and I feel closest to him,” she adds. Tarot card expert Sunita Menon explains, “We like to romanticise the concept of a soul mate as only one’s spouse or lover. But the soul has seven multiple births and you can share more than one soul mate in a lifetime. It could be anyone with whom you share a deep bonding, bordering on telepathy.”

Author Kunal Basu, whose poignant tale The Japanese Wife, explores the intimacy between a Bengali school teacher (Snehamoy) and a Japanese woman (Miyage) through love letters believes, “Twin souls have their own communication, even if others find it difficult to comprehend.” Menon narrates another surreal saga. “One of my clients loved a woman from another community with whom he couldn’t get married due to family pressure. Years later, he bumped into his ex at an airport and there was an instant spark. His wife, tired of his perfunctory attitude towards their marriage suddenly agreed to a divorce as he ended up with his ex,” says Menon. “It’s the playing out of a karmic connection. Sometimes, recognising your soul mate takes a fleeting second. At others, it may take years and numerous complications,” adds fellow tarot card reader Poonam Sethi.

Thirty-four-year-old oncologist Dr Krishna Reddy recalls how as a 23-yearold intern at a Coimbatore hospital he’d developed a ‘surreal intimacy’ with his first patient — an 18-year-old cancer patient Malati. “The pain of being unable to save her lasted till I resorted to past life regression which revealed that in my second life I was a woman whose daughter was brutally murdered. Every birth thereafter, I’d met her in some form as she came to me craving to be saved,” avers Dr Reddy.

Dr Yogesh Choudhary, director, Indian Institute of Hypnotherapy explains, “Twin souls are fragments of the same soul who inhabit two different bodies and encounter similar life experiences in diverse environments till they merge, before retiring to the spiritual realm.”

Be it a hurried brush past a stranger at a cafe, a sustained friendship, a heady love escapade or the pathos of a loved one lost — the soul continues to find its path back. Touching lives and living beings along its journey. From time to timelessness. Towards its mate — the keeper of its conscience.

So I wish all readers and friends who would able to find their soul mate in this journey of life...Good Luck!!
