Hare Krishna. I work in a nursing home for the elderly. There are some who are in such terrible condition. The cannot move, they cannot speak and are totally unable to care for themselves in any manner. They can't eat, they receive tube feedings to stay alive. This is not something that has many going on for a few weeks or a few months. They have been suffering like this for years. I have been putting Ganga water( plus 1008 tirtha in one on their foreheads) to help destroy whatever sins they may had committed but still they keep living. Why?

Thank you for your comments. I will keep praying for them.
Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
Who has done what karma who knows? I am reminded of the story of Mrigari, the hunter. He would not kill the animals, he would half kill them, meaning he would wound them such that they are neither alive nor dead. He would then enjoy seeing their discomfort. When he was asked why he does that, he said it has been going on for generation in his family. Then he got delivered and became a devotee when he realised that because of his sins, each of these animals will take a human form and do the same to him. That means so many births and so many near deaths.
We can pray for them. You do a very good thing by putting ganga water in their mouths. Keep it up.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Rashmi
