    Very sad news to hear about this child. May his soul rest in peace.  India has very poor lightining protection system, no dought about that. Have you ever seen ministers houses or areas hit by lighting?, because the protection is only for them.

    Once a woman came to Buddha with the dead child in her arms and laid the child at Buddha’s feet so that the child may be revived. Buddha said to the mother, "I will make your child alive again, but first you will have to do one thing. Go to every house in the city and find out if there is any house where no one has ever died. If there is any house in the village where no one has ever died, then in the evening I will revive your child.” The woman went
    and asked everyone. In every house, in every family, someone had died. By the time she
    returned in the evening she had become aware that death is a reality, death is a part of life. The child has gone, I will go, everyone will have to go.
    Sometimes our life is a Crucifixion. There is suffering there is agony. In those times
    remember: god loves you, and all that happens has to be accepted with gratefulness.
