When Amma Wills It...........

[Guest guest]

I heard this story first-hand back when it happened, and having worked

snow storms plowing streets, the event was not a miracle by any means.

Sometimes it can seem so when you fret about the little things.

I recall they were going to shovel the driveway and part of the street

to get out, when Dayamrita said not to worry about it. I think it was

1998. After a few minutes, a plow truck came down the street. The

house wasn't in the cul-de-sac itself, but on a street that had one,

but I think the road had a decent grade to it, so the concern was

warranted.

 

Normally, during the first 24 hours, only major streets are plowed.

But in heavier storms, they'll bring in contractors to get to the side

streets plowed before it gets too high. I recall that the plow truck

came in the morning of their departure to the airport and I think it

was only 8 " of snow at most.

went to Washington DC for a programme. A large snow storm had dumped

maybe a foot of snow on the ground in the area where Dayamrita was

staying. It was late at night and he needed to leave for the airport

early the next morning. The devotees who were hosting Dayamrita wanted

to go outside and shovel. Their home was in a cul-de-sac and they said

that the town snow plow never plows their street. How would they get

out? Despite their pleas to go outside, Dayamrita told them not to

worry. All would be ok. The next morning, lo-and-behold, the street

had been plowed overnight and they were able to get to the airport on

time…
