METHA, 56, TAGORE ROAD, SANTACRUZ (W) BOMBAY In the third quarter of the year 1962, while attending officer's training class of L. I. C. of India at Nagpur in the month of September, 1962, my wife and myself (she joined) me at Manmad had been to Shirdi to offer our prayers to Baba's Samadhi. At that time, we had decided not to visit Shirdi in October (our practice being to visit Shirdi twice a year in March and October) since we had done so in September. This was our decision, but Baba's wishes were different. He desired that we must pay our visit to Shirdi in October too as per our practice. This can be seen from the incident narrated as under. It was the "Sharad Pournima" day in the year 1962. My son-in-law and some friends had taken three cars and had gone on a picnic party to enjoy "Sharad Pournima" night. First to Juhu Beach of Snata-cruz and then to Khapoli near Khandala. After enjoying feast in the above two places, they were returning to Bombay from Khapoli early in the morning of the next day. Just when they were near Thana, their car skidded and fell into nalla. Fortunately, a police van which was overtaken the occupants of a car saw the car in the nalla. The Police immediately rendered necessary help and all the injured were first taken to the Thana Civil Hospital and then to Harkisondas Hospital at Bombay. This sad news of the accident conveyed to us by my son-in-law's brother at 10 A.M. but he could not give details of the incident. On hearing this incident's news, I became very nervous and my wife asked me to overcome my nervousness and said "Let us start praying our Baba". He is sure to listen our prayers for the life of our son-in-law as Baba always look of the happiness of His devotees. And to our greatest surprise, when we reached the Harkisondas Hospital we found that our son-in-law was free from any major injuries and he recovered with in a week. This was nothing but Baba's grace because one of his friends who was on wheel unfortunately met his death and most of others have sustained major and only my son-in-law's recovery was miraculous by the grace of Baba. Within a week of son-in-law's recovery, we went to Shirdi to offer our gratitude to Baba for saving our son-in-law's life and thus His wish for our visiting Shirdi in October as usual was fulfilled.

Chill breezes of January welcomed us when our train steamed into Kopargaom Station. As the train haulted, we hurried to the platform with our belongings. We came here on our second visit to SAINT Sai Baba's Shrine. This visit is of a special significance to Seenu's parents, who had a great desire to have another child. Their fervent hope in having another child was fulfilled when they first visited Shri Sai Baba's shrine just a year after World War II. But this visit bore a disappointment for Seenu's mother, as she could not have the darshan of the Shrine since she was in her period. The husband having come on a short leave could not oblige the wife with an extension in their stay Seenu's mother with tearful eyes and disappointment heart returned home without darshan. The Saint has answered their prayers and Seenu's mother bore signs of motherhood. This visit was to give first "darshan" to the mother and the child. All got down on the curved platform hurriedly. The train puffed out. Seenu's grannie with her infant sister in her hand was still in the train. "Pull the Chain" shouted Seenu's father. The train gained speed and the old lady balled out of the train without pulling the alarm chain. Someone snatched the baby from her arm. Seenu's father tried to give his helping hand and both slipped under the train. Some bogies were still behind and all of us waited with a heavy breathe. Seenu's lean and sickly mother ran along the train and pulled out her hefty husband in the next few seconds. Then what happened to Seenu's grannie? Two more carriages were still to pass and every one of us thought that she is cut, as the complete train passed, we all went with utmost anxiety to peep under the platform. "The devil is alive," I said. The old lady stood straight and complained of no injury. What a miracle? Double miracle indeed!! Seenu's mother was asked as to how she could pull out a 240 Ibs. hefty man within seconds with such ease although she was week and sickly, who in the normal course would not lift a lO lb weight, with such ease and came the reply, "It is Baba's Maya".

BABA CURED THE LAMENESS OF A SON OF WINDOWED SCHOOL MISTRESS In the year 1956, a son of a widowed school mistress had appeared for the S.S.C. examination when he returned from the last examination day, he was found to have a bad attack of fever. Proper medicines cured him of the fever, but he was not cured of lameness of legs brought on account of that fever. The boy had always to be lifted up for being taken to any place. All possible remedies were tried but when they proved ineffective, hearing of Shirdi Sai Baba's powers, the school mistress took the son to Shirdi. On account of lameness, the boy felt so shy that rather than going to Baba's Samadhi on the shoulders of a cooly, he preferred staying at the Shirdi wada. The mother alone had to go to Baba's Samadhi to pray for her sons's cure for two days. She was to leave Shirdi on the third instant, so she went to Samadhi to attend Arati and offered her last obeisance before leaving. In the meanwhile, Baba appeared before the boy said "Have courage". He then lent him His hand, led him to the temple and kept him standing against the temple pillar. On return from Arati when the mother did not find the son in the room, she again approached the Samadhi Mandir with all tears in her eyes most piteously prayed for the recovery of the boy. When she was just returning from the temple, her eyes fell on the boy standing against the pillar. She enquired of the boy how he managed to come there. The boy narrated how Baba had helped him to come but the mother would not believe it. However when she saw that with her support, the boy was able to walk up to their room, she was very much pleased. The boy fully recovered within a month thereafter and was able to move and walk freely by Baba's grace. Surrender Shri Sai Completely Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be there 68. BABA MADE TO SPEAK THE DUMB DAUGHTER OF SHRI MANI LYER KUMBAKONAM The daughter of Shri Mani lyer of Kumbakonam Madras State was born dumb. All possible means were tried to cure her of her dumbness, but when all of them proved futile, Mr. Mani lyer took the worship of Baba. Some days after Baba asked him to bring his speechless daughter to Shirdi and made the daughter place flowers etc., on Baba's Samadhi and pay her respects to Him. As soon as she did this, she started speaking "Sai Baba" freely. The parents were naturally very much pleased to see instantaneous cure of their daughter.
