Compassionate Choices …...Peaceful Results 

Dear Peacemakers, Sai Ram!

Mercy is a beautiful black and white female dog we have known for the past 3 years that we have been here. She has had 6 litters of puppies. She has always chosen her shelter in the deep recesses of a construction site and her pups have kept us on tenterhooks by constantly getting into tangles with wires and rods. Not one of Mercy's pups from her first 5 litters survived - she watched each of them go - either knocked down by trucks, or poisoned or taken away to the pound. But Mercy has somehow lived through it all. Last February ('96) she got herself a new partner - a jet black stray we had named Arjun. We had not the slightest inkling that Mercy was going to have babies again - she seemed quite normal. We were in for a surprise.

We mustn't forget to mention mercy's queenly airs. She has never allowed us to touch her till date. She's been nicknamed "Duchess" for her royal carriage and awesome grace!

One day in March, in the wee hours of the morning we heard piteous wails of a dog evidently in great pain. It was 1:00 a.m. Unable to ignore the desperate please for help, we took our flashlights and searched possible hidey holes. A watchman on duty said he had seen two black dogs pass by - one was limping and wailing and the other was nudging it on. MERCY AND ARJUN! We followed his directions - even got into the car and drove around the complex - but we just could not locate the source of the wailing.

We went back home - spent and dejected. At 6:00 in the morning we tried again - at the entrance of the half constructed underground parking lot stood Arjun. He whined and pawed as if to say "what took you so long?". He took us to Mercy - she was badly injured. Her back leg was broken in two with the broken end hanging loose. Her spine and tail were badly injured too. conditioned common sense said Mercy must be taken to the hospital. We tried - she wouldn't budge - Arjun too seemed to be telling us not to take her.

At that moment a worker came along with 6 puppies and declared that these were Mercy's new litter - less than 1 day old. That clinched it! Mercy would have to stay with her puppies. We made a cozy spot for her in a corner of the parking lot. She dragged herself to it and settled down with her babies. Twice a day we brought her food and water (containing the relevant Sanjeevinis). Faithful Arjun stayed by her side constantly.

A week later - only a week later - Mercy was jumping over 5 feet wide ditches with all the grace, strength and poise of before. Arjun has not left her since na done golden puppy from that litter even now goes with her everywhere. All the others have been adopted. Arjun was profuse in his thanks - Mercy hasn't even acknowledged our existence. Yet, there she is with no hint of disability and a Duchess through and through - that's joy enough for all of us!!

Let's introduce you to another family of strays - MESSIAH - a male brown and white mongrel (his great great grandfather must have been a collie); Daya (probably a distant cousin of Mercy); and Joy and Sophie their two puppies.

In May we decided to leave Joy and Sophie at an animal shelter for adoption. They love chasing cars and we did not want them to be run over. By the time we reached the shelter, both the puppies were foaming at the mouth. The vet's diagnosis was that they had been poisoned. We brought them back and left them with Daya - we felt she would be best able to take care of them. We put them on a Sanjeevini broadcast for Poisoning and 2 days later they were bounding around in their crazy way.

We also have a deep conviction that nature provides all the cures that her creatures need. We found that Joy and Sophie at about a kilo of clay each on returning from the shelter. Joy vomited it out and Sophie passed it out with her motions. Did the Calcium and other minerals in the clay help to antidote the poisoning? Possibly!

In early June Daya had developed some patches of mange on her back and Joy seemed to be following suit. Before we left for Puttaparthi in June, we put the family on a Sanjeevini broadcast for Mange. When we returned they were clear of all mange and continue to be so.

The Sanjeevinis are perfect for animals. already in tune with nature, the animals seem to receive the healing without any blocks and show miraculous results especially on broadcasts.

Mange in stray dogs is a big problem in India as you must have noticed. We believe lack of water is a cause. Dogs don't get enough water to drink, which causes their kidneys to become over burdened, which leaves the blood of the animal so toxic that the parasites find it hospitable. Do them a favour - put out a bowl of water for them to drink.

Working with nature awakens a feeling of oneness - the joy of being part of one big family of nature - Vasudhaiva Kutumbha - with the sky as our father and the earth as mother. We humans have moved away from this family; we've lost our healing abilities, our sense of intuition and above all we have lost respect for life.

Let us not get caught up in mundane mini-worlds of ours. Let us not forget that we are part of a bigger, brighter plan for this Planet. Let's work towards it with a heart full of compassion. Remember Compassionate choices bring PEACEful results.
 
 
Until next time - make the PEACE!
