UDI MAHIMA (November 1983)

 

It was the midnight of Tuesday the 5th July, 1983. I was already in bed and

when I gave a big yawn suddenly my jaw joints got stuck and I simply could

not close my mouth, which was open nearly 1” wide since this had happened

twice previously with me few years ago I immediately got out of bed and

applied iodex and started massaging slowly but steadily but there was no

effect. I got very worried as I was alone in the room and my room partner

had unexpectedly taken night out. As I could not speak, I did not wish to

disturb my friends in another rooms as it was almost past 1 o’clock when I

realized my helplessness and so there was nobody else to approach except to

call out to SHREE SAIBABA. When iodex too did not work, I started putting

Sai Udi in my mouth little by little as well applying it on the left jaw, at

the same time trying to pronounce SAINATH from the bottom of my heart which

was like stammering and almost inaudible. Slowly the effect was taking

place and within few minutes I could just meet my lips but the joints did

not get released and now I just could not open my mouth. My horror knew no

bounds and I literally started crying like a small child in front of my

Saibaba’s photo to pardon me for all my sins and relieve me from this

punishment. After surrendering to HIM, I decided to go to bed but

restlessness and pain did not allow me to do so. So I rested my head

against the wall next to my bed calling out to SAINATH with my eyes closed.

Slowly I could feel something happening to the nerves of my jaws; but I

dared not open my eyes lest my SAI would vanish. Then HE made me lie down

with my left hand stretched in such a way that it came under the left jaw

and very slowly the jaws were getting adjusted and exactly at five minutes

to 2.00 a.m. I was free from this eclipse. Oh! What a relief it was to

thank Sainath thousand times clearly pronouncing HIS SACRED NAME.

 

The real Udi Mahima is that :- Before going to bed I had put little Udi in

my mouth (this not being my usual practice as I take in Udi only when I set

out for office or going elsewhere on some errand) as I had experienced a

very shocking news that day which had disturbed me tremendously and peaceful

sleep was out of question and besides I ought to have cried to relieve my

pent up emotions. So I had opted for Udi and within few minutes the above

incident took place. Since I had struggled for nearly two long hours,

crying at the same time, I was exhausted completely. So after lighting the

lamp in front of Saibaba’s photo I went off to sound sleep and awoke only at

my usual time next morning, which in fact was my pleasant morning to awake

after such an hazardous night.

 

I will be most happy when I will share this experience with innumerous Sai

devotees through Shri Sai Leela Magazine.
