65. Baba saved the life of the son-in-law of Shri A. J. Metha, 56, Tagore Road, Santacruz (W) Bombay.

[Guest guest]

In the third quarter of the year 1962, while attending officer's training

class of L. I. C. of India at Nagpur in the month of September, 1962, my

wife and myself (she joined) me at Manmad had been to Shirdi to offer our

prayers to Baba's Samadhi. At that time, we have decided not to visit Shirdi

in October (our practice being to visit Shirdi twice a year in March and

October) since we had done so in September. This was our decision, but

Baba's wishes was different. He desired that we must pay our visit to Shirdi

in October too as per our practice. This can be seen from the incident

narrated as under. It was the "Sharad Pournima" day in the year 1962. My

son-in-law and some friends had taken three cars and had gone on a picnic

party to enjoy "Sharad Pournima" night. First to Juhu Beach of Snata-cruz

and then to Khapoli near Khandala. After enjoying feast in the above two

places, they were returning to Bombay from Khapoli early in the morning of

the next day. Just when they were near Thana, their car skidded and fell

into nalla. Fortunately, a police van which was overtaken the occupants of a

car saw the car in the nalla. The Police immediately rendered necessary help

and all the injured were first taken to the Thana Civil Hospital and then to

Harkisondas Hospital at Bombay. This sad news of the accident conveyed to us

by my son-in-law's brother at 10 A.M. but he could not give details of the

incident. On hearing this incident's news, I became very nervous and my wife

asked me to overcome my nervousness and said "Let us start praying our

Baba". He is sure to listen our prayers for the life of our son-in-law as

Baba always look of the happiness of His devotees. And to our greatest

surprise, when we reached the Harkisondas Hospital we found that our

son-in-law was free from any major injuries and he recovered with in a week.

This was nothing but Baba's grace because one of his friends who was on

wheel unfortunately met his death and most of others have sustained major

and only my son-in-law's recovery was miraculous by the grace of Baba.

Within a week of son-in-law's recovery, we went to Shirdi to offer our

gratitude to Baba for saving our son-in-law's life and thus His wish for our

visiting Shirdi in October as usual was fulfilled.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be

there ! !
