The Covert Healer from Shirdi

The Covert Healer from Shirdi

My niece Bindu, was sick for the past few days. She was five years old at

that time. Her body was gradually swelling. She used to run hectic temperature of

and on. She was becoming toxic with a wan face. Now she was passing less and

less urine. Her languished body was so weak that she could hardly move her body

in the bed. Oh! God! Her elder sister had also suffered from the same signs and

symptoms. Yes! She was suffering from " Nephrotic

Syndromo " (Kidney infection with incompatibility

to function normally). It was the same devastating disease, to which her elder

sister had succumbed, in spite of every best possible medical treatment.

 

Anyhow, my mind observed that she was struggling

with her life and death. I served her with great care and efforts day and

night. She was regularly examined by doctors and was pro­vided with every

type of prescribed medicines. Fortunately, she recovered from this terrible disease

after some time. One day, some one asked Bindu,

" Who saved you Bindu? " Bindu

replied confidently, " Bhagwan Sai Baba saved my life " (Lata

Didi ke Sai

Baba.)

 

It astonished every one present there. How sure

the little girl was in telling these words? How she knew about Shirdi Sai Baba? How she was sure

about his power of giving life and death? How this thing has happened to her?

 

To some, it might have appeared a grotesque

statement; but I tried to find out the pertinent hidden truth about the magnani­mous

power of Sai Baba of Shirdi,

the paragon of mercy. Soon I discovered the whole simple hidden truth.

 

Smt. Bholi Devi, a female peon in the District Hospital at Hamirpur, is my neighbour. We are

both residing in the same Govt. building. She is a staunch devotee of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi. She had been to Shirdi, a

few months ago along with her younger daughter Miss Lata,

for the darshan of the Samadhi of Shirdi Sai Baba. My niece used to

go to their house very often. One day, Mrs. Bholi Devi was doing (performing) her prayer in front of the

statue of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi. The little girl watched her thoroughly

and then inquired whose statue was that? Mrs. Bholi Devi said, " He is Shri Sai Baba, Bhagwan. He gives us

every thing. He gives us life too. " Perhaps she adopted Him, her Bhagwan, in her mind.

 

Now let us see the covert leelas

of Sai Baba! One day Mrs. Bholi

Devi,

lost her key-ring, which was having the alluring sign of Shri

Sai Baba of Shirdi, with

resplendent figures. Bindu got the key with ring and

recognized her Bhagwan Sai Baba. She used to keep this key-ring all the time under

the pillow of her bed, without anybody's knowledge. The little girl prayed, in

a similar way as she had seen Mrs. Bholi Devi pray time and again during the period of her

ailment, " Lata Didi Ke Sai

Baba Bhagwan save me! Save me! Save me! "

 

God Shri Sai, the congenial companion, reduces the burden of our

calamities by fulfilling the desires of His devotees, even after once we pray

to Him. This little girl was praying with the most innocent and pure heart,

without any iota of doubt. Due to her perpetual and assiduous prayers, finally

the life of the little girl was saved surreptitiously by God Shri Sai Baba, though both these

sisters suffered from the same ailment.

 

Now I have full faith in Shri

Sai Baba of Shirdi, in

every sphere of my life. Therefore life seems to be peaceful and calm even when

I am surrounded with many hurdles.

My hundred Pranams

to God Sai Baba.
