    What to say about this-Dil Deke Dekho na?

    There is a saying in Tamil "Vitta kurai thotta kurai" to denote something continuing uncompleted and haunting us. But this has a larger philosophical meaning and explanation. It refers to the residual karma effects of previous birth (poorva janma karma phalam) haunting and following us in this birth. This is sometimes felt more in the mutual relationships within family or otherwise, either good relationship or bad relationship.

    But recently certain unique reports coming in the print or social media like WhatsApp, makes us think about the sayings and view them as perennial truths manifesting in explanations by undergoing evolutions or Yuga bhedam-just differences as per the times.

    There was a WhatsApp clip whereby a disturbed infant gets pacified instantly when a man holds it. It turns out that the man has the heart of the child's mother transplanted in him.

    The latest and more down-to-Earth is the following report with catchy headline:

    QUOTE: A heartfelt farewell: Ashok performs final rites of his donor's mother...
    Kannur: Vishnu's presence pulsated within Ashok's heart as the flames of Sajana's funeral pyre rose.... At that moment, that heart seemed to speak to the fire in Ashok's hands, "That is our mother..." Witnessing the one who had accepted her son's heart lighting her final pyre stirred the emotions of of all those present.... UNQUOTE
    source (www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2024/05/01/heartfelt-legacy-ashok-bond-sajana-organ-donation-donor-mother.html...)
    I have read the report in Malayalam newspaper, The report is available in Tamil in the webpage (www.hindutamil.in/news/life-style/1241046-man-performed-funeral-rites-for-heart-donor-s-mother-kerala.html)

    Members, what is your response in this? Can we simply shirk this as just an act of gratitude, or is it going to be a 'Vitta kurai; thotta kurai' as quoted in the beginning?

    When a medically suffering person is benefited by a body part of a donor then the person is highly grateful for that and is emotionally attached to the great act of the donor. It is obvious that one then is in a thanks giving mode and would do anything which is in a way presents a respect to the donor. The recepients would be happy to reciprocate in some way and all the things mentioned in the above reports are of that nature only. The media will showcase these actions with much hype to increase their viewership.
    Nowadays due to advanced medical technology, patients are receiving relevant parts of the body from the donors and they are surely obliged for that and will remain thankful for it throughout their lives.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    This is an interesting observation by the author. The person who gets a body part from a donor is somehow emotionally linked to the donor or his family members. Why it should happen or what is that invisible connection it is difficult to understand but it is there.
    If we bring a small puppy and adopt it and keep in our house then after some time it becomes a member of our house and we are attached to it. Similarly if we adopt an orphan child from an orphanage and take care of it like our child it becomes close and affectionate to us. There is a connection between the living beings.
    A body part of a living being also gets accommodated in the body of recepient if it is transplanted within the stipulated time. It is also full of life providing a link with the original person.
    I do not know what is the rationale or logic behind it but people feel like that and act accordingly.

    I don't believe in such emotional perceptions of "vitta kurai thotta kurai." We can say it may be a kind of gratitude at the receiver's end. Organ donation certainly has immense value in saving lives, which are in crucial stages of livelihood. Organ donation is the best form of philanthropic activity for a human being. It makes a profound impact on others' lives though mortal they are. The family, who donate their kith and kin's organs does have a great feeling of something inexpressive. However, organ donations take the form of negativity/mafia, "organ theft" in some hospitals (at times in government hospitals as well), or bargaining/bribery at the national/international level.

    As Neeru Bhatt mentioned the media/movies do much catchy hype in such cases, I strongly believe.

    My mother was watching a Telugu serial. In that serial, the mother and her daughter were separated as soon as the girl was born. After 6 years, they met each other and they didn't know each other. The hand of the lady touches the hand of the girl. That lady got a special feeling as if there was a relationship between them. Later on, they came to know about their relationship.
    Organ donation is something very special. My mother-in-law wanted to donate her eyes to somebody. She informed an eye bank. She asked us to inform that bank immediately after her death and we did the same. They came within an hour and took the eyes. The whole issue was completed in 3 hours. None of our family members know later on what happened to them and who benefitted.
    Everything that happens in our lives is as per the destiny only. Nobody can change the same. But what type of affection we will get when we see a person having an organ of a known person?

    I think that the recipient of a body part from a donor will have a psychological effect on his mind when he meets the donor or near and dear of the donor. That makes an invisible affectionate link between the two and if the recipient wants to show his gratitude in any manner it is upto him. There is nothing more mysterious in that.
