Baba's Tonsillectomy

 

Account of Sai devotee, Mr Varadu, quoted in E. Haraldsson, Miracles

are My Visiting Cards, p. 167.

 

I was present at an operation Swami performed in Hanumantha Rao's

house in Madras on my friend Krishna, who had septic tonsils. Swami

produced the knife from the air. I was shocked. (I am a doctor's

son; my father was a surgeon.) Swamiji just looked at me and smiled.

I understood perfectly what he meant: "You still don't believe in

me". Then he put the knife into Krishna's throat. There was also

with me another doctor friend of mine, Dr. Dakshina Murthy, who was

shocked. But none of us could say anything. Swami just kept going.

 

Krishna suffered for one day. Next day we took him to my doctor - Dr

Das, the same doctor who was treating me. "Who are the fools

meddling with your throat!" he said. "He is a great fool. What is

wrong with him? This chap is going to get into a soup" he said. We

were all a bit worried and kept going to the doctor for the next two

days. Then on the second day the doctor asked: "What has happened?"

for the pain had stopped, the septic tonsils had disappeared;

everything had gone. That is what Swami did. He didn't actually

surgically remove the tonsils; all he did was make some scratches with

the knife. But after two days the tonsils disappeared. To my knowledge

he (Krishna) did not have any problem with it afterwards.
