Baba's Blessings - M.Ganga Reddy (September 1975)

[Guest guest]

After 1966, for about eight years till 1974, I could not visit

Shirdi, although I often tried in vain to have the darshan of Baba,

For this, I do not find any explicable reasons except that I had, all

the while, to encounter several vicissitudes of life. With the blessings

of Baba I had to sail through good and bad weather. The sense of

gratitude compels me to confess that Baba always saved me whenever I was

to be caught in a whirlpool. Instance of perilous sickness of my lone son,

who had meritorious academic career, is to the point. My son, who

passed M. Tech in 1st division, suddenly took ill in the 3rd week of October

1972. A band of renowned medical specialists, who spared no pains to treat

him, lost every hope and became rather frustrated, as there was swift

deterioration in his condition. It was at about 2 A. M. when one of the

doctors at last gave tongue to their helplessness. Then I had nothing in

this world except the grace of Baba, to invoke as a last resort.

Believe me, from the very moment the sign of improvement started appearing

to the utter astonishment of alt the doctors.

In March 1974, I paid my overdue visit along with my son, who with the

blessings of Baba, could recover by then After we both completed

"Abhishek" Pooja on Thursday, we went to the office of the Receiver to

ascertain about the feasibility for performing "Archana" and offering

"Arati" on Friday. The gentleman in the office informed, to our

disappointment, that it would not be possible for issue of tickets for

"Archana" and 'Arati’ on Friday in view of the heavy rush of devotees.

Further, he indirectly expressed his mind that we need not stay on

Friday for such purpose. But we stayed as per our programme. The

very evening, I suddenly fell sick. Another devotee from Bombay,

finding me in a bad condition, got me admitted to Sainath Hospital and

helped me by all means. I find no appropriate words to express my

heartfelt gratitude to him. After two days of my stay in the hospital,

the Doctor advised me that I could travel safely to Hyderabad.

Difficultv in getting reservation of berths at Manmad Junction known to

all. But by the time, we reached Manmad all the berths except only

two, were already reserve, in advance. Thus we secured, with the

blessings of Baba, accommodation and could come back safely.

Quite unexpectedly and to the utter surprise of all, my son got an

employment in April 1974, on a temporary basis. Soon after the temporary

employment was over, he got a regular employment with Baba's Blessings.
