Story Suicide Bridge in Mumbai (Bollywood suicide scene)

[LittleJem]

Someone I know posted this very annoying documentary about a "hero" fisherman who saves people from CTB off Mumbai's suicide bridge, and also collects dead bodies. Saying that, in the first few minutes, there is a Bollywood scene of a man suiciding from the bridge. That is my favourite part. I haven't watched the rest, as it's too annoying.



I used to really like India and it does tempt me to go visit that bridge. It would be kind of like CTB in another reality if that makes sense, because it is so different there to London.

I always felt guilty about the idea I would need to be repatriated, but actually I could just be cremated in India. Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to do that?!!! Like they would probably do an autopsy or something and would that cost money?

I am suicidal and don't wish to be here, but if I witnessed someone attempting to end their life, I'd intervene, only natural anyone would. There is nothing good or right about suicide and although am suicidal myself, I still find the whole subject hard to get head round and I for one don't like the thought of anyone ending their life. Yes its their choice, but what sort of beast would I be if I stood and watched another human plunge to their death.........

Not related to this thread but I read that some Indian practitioners of advanced yoga, gain control over involuntary muscles. They can stop their hearts at will. Many yogis leave their bodies through this process when they think their purpose in the world is fulfilled. Wish the process was made accessible to everyone.

How fascinating. I know some people can yogic fly and do all sorts when at very advanced levels of meditation etc, but to stop their hearts, wow. How would they physically be able to achieve this I wonder and when they do, are they able to get their heart going again or do they simply die or wait till they are resuscitated medically. Very interesting, thanks for sharing, going to do some more research on this.

Have you heard of Yogananda? When he felt it was time to leave this world, he sat down and was gone. Check this out: https://yogananda.org/?_ga=2.184304805.2009970227.1580751401-2078102443.1580751401

You can search for "ultimate way of leaving the physical body- Mahasamadhi" on youtube. The video gives an anecdote. It is very advanced yoga only known to some. They are not resuscitated. They die. It is only performed only once in the life of a yogi when he or she feels they have completed their work in this world. It is usually done publicly.

Gosh, amazing this can happen. I will look into it in more depth, thanks. Does make me wonder though, that its possible for all of us (although very hard to attain) to be able to will ourselves to die. I cant even relax enough to mediate on very easy level, so no hope for me there I don't think!
