Life to Father, Life to Son





This instance was narrated by Dr. Vasundhara.  It is of a child who became seriously ill when his measles was complicated by pneumonia.  Gradually, both lungs were affected but "don't worry" was Swami's invariably placid reply to the frantic messages they sent Him daily.  But finally they had to take the initiative to call the parents and inform them about the severity.

The senior physician advised transfer of the child to a major hospital for ventilator management but the parents wanted the child to remain in Swami's hospital.  This crisis came on the night of New Year's Eve.  The child was near death.  The duty doctor in the hospital told them that only God could help.  They could not do anything.

That day, just before Dr. Vasundhara was to return from Darshan, Swami looked in the direction of the doctors and said, "I am going to the hospital now."  Walking through the wards, Swami reached the child, gently stroked the chest and said, "Nothing wrong.  You will be well, you will be well" and the child became well.

The weeping father told us, "I was Swami's student in the Veda Patashala days and I too was once on the point of death.  In those last few hours, Swami came and gave me life. I never imagined that He would do the same to my son too one day."
