Summary

Tara Desai recounts a profound and inexplicable experience of feeling the presence of her deceased mother on the 20th anniversary of her death, despite not consciously thinking about her recently, and seeks to understand this phenomenon through shared experiences or explanations.

Abstract

On the morning of January 28, 2022, Tara Desai woke up with an overwhelming sense of her mother's presence, an experience she had never had before, especially not on the anniversary of her mother's death. This encounter left her deeply shaken and questioning the nature of the experience. Despite being a person with an analytical mind, Tara found herself unable to dismiss the incident as a mere psychological event or hallucination. The experience was vivid and occurred while she was fully conscious, having performed routine actions like visiting the washroom and drinking water. Tara's sister unknowingly confirmed the significance of the day by sending a message about their mother's death anniversary, along with a photo and details of a religious ritual performed. Tara is reaching out to others for similar experiences or insights to understand why this mystery occurred two decades after her mother's passing.

Why did I feel the Mystic Presence? Can anyone explain? I’m still shaken.

An unexplainable experience by the author.

Mother, an eternal light on my life.

Today, 28th Jan 2022, when I woke up, it was not like every morning. I was still in the bed with open eyes. I felt the face of my mother. For a few minutes, I kept looking at her. Then I slept again for some time.

I got up, as usual, the morning routine was the same. I had a morning cup of tea and took my mobile to check my usual WhatsApp messages.

Among them were 2 messages from my sister who stays in India.

Her message shook me, honestly, I still have to recover why such a mysterious experience in life. I decided to keep aside my other work and write this post to share with you if anyone of you has a somewhat similar experience to share.

I never had such an experience earlier, I still feel heavy with this mystery.

My sister’s message was about the 20th death anniversary of my mother along with my mother’s photo and religious ritual she had performed.

I was shaken by the message, went silent. After recovering to an extent I could talk to her, I explained my situation with a choked voice.

She said, perhaps you thought of the mother and it was in your unconsciousness……. This is not true.

I had not thought of her at all in the recent past so that she could have remained in my subconsciousness.

Why did I feel her presence this morning? It has been 20 years and she never appeared like this on the day of her anniversary.

In the initial months of her departure, of course, I was to think of her a lot which is natural for all humans.

I have a very analytical mind. I don’t accept such events easily but this has shaken me; why did it happen after 20 years?

I saw her only face close to my face and I was completely conscious. I saw her with opened eyes, it was not a dream because a few minutes before I went to the washroom and had a sip of water which I usually do.

There is a lot of information on the internet explaining psychologically, scientifically, religiously about meeting or hearing the departed loved ones and also near-death experiences. It is associated with a subconscious mind, hallucination etc…

My today’s experience on her death anniversary, is it a coincidence or there is a meaning to it?

I have no clue, no answer.

I highly appreciate hearing from someone who has a somewhat similar experience and can explain why such mysteries happen?

With kind regards Tara Desai
