Baba Blesses a Rebirth

March 13, 2007

This is not a story or fiction. Every Sai devotee experiences such strange

incidents, one way or the other, either mentally, morally or physically in

their day to day walks of life. I am no exception and I came across one such

incident that happened in our family.

On 27th June, 2002 my cousin, Sri Haran's marriage with Sow. Sumathi took

place at Kosapel, Vellore, Tamilnadu. Both of them went to Kodaikanal for

honeymoon. It is a place of tourist interest with greener and scenic beauty.

While they were enjoying the natural beauty a co-tourist, requested Mrs.

Sumathi to click a snap for them and she agreed. Mr. Haran was also watching

the proceedings. Sumathi did not notice the slippery land. While moving

front and back in order to compose the picture, she positioned herself on

the floor to take the snap which was 60 ft. high from the ground level.

Within a few seconds the slippery ground where she was standing started

sinking gradually and half of her body started immersing inside the wet

land. She lost her balance and immediately shouted " HARAN PLEASE SAVE ME”

repeatedly. On hearing the cry Haran without any second took the name of Sai

Baba and prayed for Sumathi's survival and jumped near the same spot where

her body was sinking gradually. Except her hair nothing was visible. He

caught hold of her hair and protected further drowning of the body.

At the moment a strange person who was watching the entire proceedings, whom

I strongly feel none other than Baba rushed to the nearby telephone booth,

requisitioned for the Fire Brigade, equipments such as rope etc and also the

people who were nearby were asked by the same person to assist the victims

in all possible manner. After a big struggle both the victims were taken

out.

Due to head injury Sumathi was unconscious. She was given immediate first

aid by Mr. Haran, by gently beating both sides of her cheeks and sprinkling

water etc. Haran was keeping Baba's Vibhooti always in his pocket and at

that time he applied the same on forehead and a spoon full of water diluted

with vibhooti was also given orally. She regained her senses and was

admitted into a local hospital and later on shifted to Vellore Hospital for

further treatment.

Sumathi and Haran both had operations in the hospital. Mr. Haran's left hand

got fractured. Sumathi had operation on the head due to severe injury. She

had breathing trouble also due to severe shock.

Both of them got recouped after hospitalization, due lo Baba's love and

mercy.

Namasmaran

All Sadhana is for keeping remembrance of God unbroken. Remembrance is

Darshan. The easiest way is to take the name of God constantly. The Name is

the link between the devotee and God. It brings the devotee face to face

with him and enables him to realize oneness with Him. Namasmaran is capable

of granting the universal vision by which one sees everything as God. When

you take the Name, you are taking the Name of the Lord who dwells in your

own heart.

Take the Name with all the faith you arc capable of. Repeat it without a

moment's break, whether you are in the kitchen, or engaged in fetching

water, taking bath, walking in the streets or doing any physical work. If

you do not practice keeping the Name ever on your lips, you cannot avoid

being unhappy.

Know this one and for all.

Jai Sai Ram,

Thank you very much for this lovely email....I loved the last past of " Namasmaran " ...

Just before opening this email, a Christian friend of mine asked me via email about the significance of chanting the name of the lord over incessantly praying to the lord (Coz I forwarded him one of the emails which had quotes about " God's name on your tongue " ). I didn't know the answer exactly...After that I open this email and at the bottom I see this perfect answer for that under the section " Naamasmaran " ...

Interesting ways of Baba to answer some one and to explain a concept to someone...He is so so much a living Sadguru...

Jai Sai Ram.
