Digest Number 336

[Guest guest]

Dear Mohan,

 

I came across your mail asking if there is a satsang in the Athens, GA

area- well there is one in Atlanta , an hour away from you . They meet every

week either on fridays or saturdays . Maybe you can go to there on

saturdays.

 

The satsangs are held alternately in Girish's house or Gopal's house. I have

copied them on this email , maybe you can contact them.

 

Namah Shivaya

> Like any good mother, when Karen found out that

> another baby was on the way, she did what she

> could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael,

> prepare for a new sibling. They found out that

> the new baby was going be a girl, and day after

> day, night after night, Michael sang to his

> sister in mommy's tummy. He was building a bond

> of love with his little sister before he even met

> her.

>

> The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an

> active member of the Panther Creek United

> Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee. In

> time, the labor pains came. Soon it was every

> five minutes, every three, every minute. But

> serious complications arose during delivery and

> Karen found herself in hours of labor. Would a

> C-section be required?

>

> Finally, after a long struggle, Michael's little

> sister was born. But she was in very serious condition.

> With a siren howling in the night, the ambulance

> rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care

> unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee.

>

> The days inched by. The little girl got worse.

> The pediatrician had to tell the parents there is

> very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.

> Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery

> about a burial plot.

> They had fixed up a special room in their

> house for their new baby but now they found

> themselves having to plan for a funeral. Michael,

> however, kept begging his parents to let him see

> his sister. I want to sing to her, he kept saying.

>

> Week two in intensive care looked as if a funeral

> would come before the week was over. Michael

> kept nagging about singing to his sister, but

> kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. Karen

> decided to take Michael whether they liked it or

> not. If he didn't see his sister right then, he

> may never see her alive.

> She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and

> marched him into ICU.

>

> He looked like a walking laundry basket. The head

> nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed,

> "Get that kid out of here now. No children are

> allowed."

>

> The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the

> usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed

> right into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm

> line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his

> sister" she stated. Then Karen towed Michael to

> his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant

> losing the battle to live. After a moment, he

> began to sing.

>

> In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old,

> Michael sang: "You are my sunshine, my only

> sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray."

> Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The

> pulse rate began to calm down and become steady.

>

> "Keep on singing, Michael," encouraged Karen with

> tears in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how

> much I love you, please don't take my sunshine

> away." As Michael sang to his sister, the baby's

> ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as

> a kitten's purr.

>

> "Keep on singing, sweetheart.The other night,

> dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in

> my arms". Michael's little sister began to relax

> as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her.

>"Keep on singing, Michael."

>

> Tears had now conquered the face of the bossy

> head nurse. Karen glowed. "You are my sunshine,

> my only sunshine. Please don't take my sunshine

> away..."

>

> The next, day...the very next day...the little

> girl was well enough to go home.

>

> Woman's Day Magazine called it The Miracle of a

> Brother's Song. The medical staff just called it a miracle.

>

> Karen called it a miracle of God's love.
