DEVOTEES' EXPERIENCES OF SRI SAI BABA BY H.H. NARASIMHA SWAMIJI - PART II

[Guest guest]

abscess on the chest. He was getting weaker and weaker. The doctor was afraid to

operate on the abscess on account of the weakness. I applied antiphlogistine

over the abscess. The abscess was opened. It was a wide open wound. The doctor

would not help me. So I relied upon my doctor, Sai Baba, and trusting in Him

put a bit of His Udhi into the wound. The Deputy Collector, Vasant Rao Madhav

Jadhav, (now D.C. at Poona) asked me whether I was confident of a cure and

within what time the gaping wound would be cured? I answered "In 24 hours."

That night, Baba appeared in my dream and said, "Why did you say "24 hours? You

should have said "Immediately." I apologised for my mistake in the dream itself.

Next morning, the wound was healed up. Jadhav wondered and wanted Baba's Udhi

and blessing for his own son aged 4 1/2 years who was down with

pneumo­nia. I gave him the Udhi on the sixth day of that child's fever. The very

next day the fever stopped, though the attendant doctor stated that the fever

would run its course for 9 days (i.e., that it would last 3 days after I gave

the Udhi). Jadhav sent up his thanks offering of Rs. 7 to be sent to Sri Sai

Baba's Samasthan. In 1935, i.e., last year, milk was being boiled on my stove.

Anand, my two-year-old child, came running up, stumbled over a stick and fell

upon the milk and stove. Just fancy what should happen in such a case. One

would expect his skin to be scalded by the boiling milk

and clothes to catch fire. But here the milk was dashed down on one side and the

stove on the other side; and the child lay between the two neither scalded, nor

catching fire on his clothes. This year, i.e., 1936, Vasudev and his

younger brother rummaged among the contents of an almyrah and found a box

full of what they thought to be peppermint lozenges. Vasudev ate some and gave

some to his younger brother. The taste was unpleasent and they did not eat

much. But what little was eaten made Vasu smart. His tongue was protruding. My

wife inserted her finger into his mouth and extracted what she

believed to be chunam, i.e., lime. We were then shown by Vasu the packet or box

of "Sweetmeats" that he had been consuming. It was "Pharoah's snakes" - the

piece of fire works that burn out forming ashes that lengthen and wind about in

the form of snakes. We then took him to the doctor who administered an

emetic, which did not act. Then I gave Baba's Udhi and Tirtha - which acted at

once and resulted in his vomitting out all the poisonous stuff he has

swallowed. After all this was over, Vasudev mentioned that he had given the

Peppermint to his two year old younger brother. Evi­dently the latter ate

but little, as there was no trouble. But to expel what little he might have

swallowed, we administered our

emetic, i.e.,., Udhi and water with Baba's name to him and he had a good vomit.
