66. Baba saved the husband of Smt. Ananthula Padmaja from the fall of moving train.

[Guest guest]

It was near midnight, Dark and gloomy. Chilly breezes of January welcomed us

when our train steamed into Kopargaom Station. As the train halted, we

hurried to the platform with our belongings. We came here on our second

visit to SAINT Sai Baba's Shrine. This visit is of a special significance to

Seenu's parents, who had a great desire to have another child.

Their fervent hope in having another child was fulfilled when they first

visited Shri Sai Baba's shrine just an year after world War II. But this

visit bore a disappointment for Seenu's mother, as she could not have the

darshan of the Shrine since she was in her period. The husband having come

on a short leave could not oblige the wife with an extension in their stay

Seenu's mother with tearful eyes and disappointment heart returned home

without darshan. The Saint has answered their prayers and Seenu's mother

bore signs of motherhood. This visit was to give first "darshan" to the

mother and the child. All got down on the curved platform hurriedly. The

train puffed out. Seenu's grannie with his infant sister in her hand was

still in the train. "Pull the Chain" shouted Seenu's father. The train

gained speed and the old lady balled out of the train without pulling the

alarm chain. Someone snatched the baby from her arm. Seenu's father tried to

give his helping hand and both slipped under the train. Some bogies were

still behind and all of us waited with a heavy breathe. Seenu's lean and

sickly mother ran along the train and pulled out her hefty husband in the

next few seconds. Then what happened to Seenu's grannie? Two more carriages

were still to pass and every one of us thought that she is cut, As the

complete train passed, we all went with atmost anxiety to peep under the

platform. "The devil is alive," I said. The old lady stood straight and

complained of no injury. What a miracle? double miracle indeed!! Seenu's

mother was asked as to how she could pull out a 240 Ibs. hefty man within

seconds with such ease although she was week and sickly, who in the normal

course would not lift a lO lb weight, with such ease Pat came the reply, "It

is Baba's Maya".

Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be

there !!
