SRI SAI BABA'S GRACE (JUNE 1986)

(Dead child revived due to Baba's grace)

 

It was in the year 1971 that the following incident occured while, I was

travelling from Davangere to Bangalore. I was alone at that time at

Davangere, as my wife had gone in advance to attend the marriage of my

brother-in-law. My best friend Dr. Rajan and his family consisting of his

daughter, son-in-law (a doctor) and their son and a driver had come in their

car to Davangere and were staying with me. Dr. Rajan had come to admit his

grandson into the medical college. At that time, I happened to be the

Principal and so was helpful in securing a seat for reasonable donation. The

boy was admitted into the college as well as the hostel, and he was left in

the hostel, and the others wanted to go to Madras the next day. It happened

to be a Thursday and as such, I asked them to take bath in the morning,

worship and then leave Davangere. I wanted to go that day to Bangalore to

attend the marriage of my brother-in-law the next day. After learning this

Dr. Rajan insisted that I should go with them in the car upto Bangalore. I

had planned to go by express bus but as there was place in the car I

accepted their kind offer to travel in the car.

When invited to take bath and do pooja. Dr. Rajan and his family blankly

refused and said that they would take their bath after going to Madras. As

such only I took a bath in the early morning and performed Sri. Sai BABA's

Pooja as usual. We all started at about 6'o clock in the morning on the way

we took breakfast in Chitradurg and proceeded further. We reached Tumkur by

about 10'o clock, in the morning and it started drizzling. Dr. Rajan's

son-in-law wanted to drive the car upto Bangalore and though Dr. Rajan was

not in favour of it, he took the wheel.

After passing the railway crossing there was a slight gradient in the road,

near a village called Kyathsandra. There was a jumboo tree by the side of

the road, where 2 muslim girls one aged about 10 years and the other 5 years

were picking berries. As soon as they saw the car they ran to the opposite

side, the elder one ran away but the younger one was caught in the

undercarriage of the car. When the car passed over the child, the child fell

down. She was bleeding terribly from the mouth. Everyone thought that she

was dead. We all got down from the car and the first reaction of doctor

Rajan was to inform the police about the incident. He took the car along

with the driver and proceded in a hurry to police station in Kyathsandra.
