BELIEVE IT OR NOT (April 1987)

I am not telling you a story, but I am just narrating an incident and it is

upto the readers to draw their own conclusion.

 

Both my brothers are doctors. One is a cardiologist and the other is a

children's specialist. Both are good and competent in their respective

fields, so much so, even their colleagues often take advice from them in

complicated cases. About three years back, my brother, the children's

specialist got married and was blessed with a son in June, 1984, a boy, so

to say, a lovely kid. We were all very happy and most of our relatives were

wondering as to how and in what manner my brother would bring up that child.

For two months, everything went on smoothly and afterwards the child started

crying during night hours. My brother did not have belief in home remedies

and hence treated his son himself with utmost care, but the child did not

respond favourably. He consulted his brother Doctor who also treated him but

in vain. Weeks after weeks were over, my brother and his wife became weak

and most worried persons and were spending sleepless nights. Then he took

the child to other doctors for their opinion. They also treated but failed

to bring about the desired cure. Finally he yielded and started our

house-hold remedies but even then with no positive results.

 

It is at this time, I wanted to utilize my L.T.C. during April, 1985. My

wife insisted on our going to Shirdi since it was the first time I was

availing of L.T.C. and since also she had not visited Shirdi earlier. I

readily agreed. The day before my departure, I received a letter from my

brother asking me to bring with me some sacred ash (Udhi) from Shirdi on my

return. I was puzzled and was unable to understand as to what for he desired

the same. With the blessing of Sri Sai Baba, we visited Shirdi without any

problem whatsoever and returned to our place safely, with the sacred ash,

the Udhi. I sent it over to my brother accordingly. The next time when I met

him, I asked him what for he wanted the sacred ash from Shirdi. He replied,

"I tried all methods, consulted many eminent doctors but yet I was not able

to find out the reason for the baby's crying at all. Finally I put the

sacred ash in a talisman and tied around the baby's waist. Believe it or

not, a miracle happened, the crying stopped right from that day and the

child continues to be well ever since."

 

"My fervent prostrations unto Him, the Ruler of the Universe".

 

S.Sainath,

Bhadravathi 577302.
