MoneyMiracles

[Guest guest]

I have heard devotees say that when Swami helps them out of a

financial predicament he helps them get just enough money that will

solve their trouble, not a paisa less not a paisa more.

 

In the early 1990 we planned to go to White Field via Bangalore.

Arrangements to travel by train to Bangalore were made and on the

morning before departure my mother dreamt that Swami was getting into

a car that then raced away. When we arrived at Bangalore my uncle who

had come to the station said that Swami had left that morning for

Puttaparthy. Plans were now made for us to travel to Puttaparthy

accompanied by a widowed aunt. We stayed in another aunt's house and

it was decided that the best way to go to Puttaparthy was to take a

private taxi for my mother could not travel by bus for a long

distance. We did not take a lot of money with us and while the elders

made arrangements my sister and I sat in a corner and prayed

desperately to Swami to save us from the predicament-to get us a good

cheap taxi so father would not have to spent a lot of money and avoid

us the circumstance of having to borrow money from Uncle though' he

offered.

 

We did find a taxi from a hotel for 1500 and followed by the widowed

aunt we went to Parthy had a good darshan for two days and returned

to Bangalore to board a night train back to Chennai. When we asked

the taxi driver to leave us at uncle's house he refused and said that

the extra distance meant more money-rounding it off to 1750. When we

finally left for the station a clean 1750 short and a big hole in

poor father's pocket, my aunt who had been unaware of the whole thing

pressed a packet in mother's hand. Her reason was that she had never

given us a gift for our house warming ceremony celebrated 6 years

before. Mother refused to take it but aunt insisted and she went

further by giving 3 fifty rupees notes to my mother, my sister and I

as farewell gifts. And the aunt who had accompanied us pressed a

hundred rupees note in my hand for the books she had bought for

herself at Puttaparthy. We kept the gifts in a separate cover and

when we opened them later, we found crisp notes amounting to a

thousand and five hundred in the packet. Along with the three fifty

rupees notes and a hundred from the widowed aunt, we had got a 1,750

as a gift-just the amount that father had paid for the taxi fare to

Puttaparthy.
