A lost Charitable Trust

A lost charitable Trust

A charitable trust which could have been a reality for a good cause of the society and community is lost for no reason. 

One of my uncle had very lucrative job and earned a lot of money even after his retirement from the active service. He had no children and while young , he wished to adopt one. My mother very clearly refused his request as he very keenly wanted to adopt me . He took me several times to live with him and lured me with many of the gifts and toys etc. He and my aunt were very much interested in adopting me as their child. They loved and cared for me a lot. I stayed with them in Meerut and Lucknow even though it was difficult for me to stay alone without the company of other children and especially my friends from the village. Finally, they adopted the daughter of my aunt’s sister.

My aunt died after a few years of my uncle’s retirement. She was never satisfied and happy in her life as she wanted children of her own. My uncle was very rich with wealth and property. His  adopted daughter also settled nicely with her family. Her family and children were all quite well off in their jobs, wealth and property, etc. The children of his extended family (like all of us and the children of my other uncle) were also well settled independently. None of us needed his money, wealth or property.

On various occasions, I mentioned to him that he should establish a charitable trust for the benefit of less privileged ones as he has no other responsibility and obligations for his friends, relatives including his daughter. I also tried to convince him through some anonymous letters that he should establish a trust in the name of my aunt to get at least some rewards of his good deeds in his next life. Perhaps, the influence of his daughter was so much that he could not do anything. The resources which could have been used for some good cause of the society went all to his daughter after his death in December, 2008. He certainly had some special interest in me. 

I intuitively visited him with Sameer and his family in September 2008. I have a special photograph showing him with me, Sameer and his chiIdren - a photograph showing four generation together. 

Having no children of his own, his karam Kshetra was limited which he could have easily extended by establishing this trust carrying on his memory and legacy. It is the destiny that my mother did not agree for the adoption, otherwise, those resources would have passed on to me and I would have put his wealth to good use for others. 

Otherwise also, as per my destiny based on my life experiences and reality, I am not destined to own unearned wealth and property. That is explained in another blog.
