FAITH CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS

Baba said, "I shall draw out My devotees from the jaws of death" in Sri Sai Satcharitra Ch.III.

Sai Baba makes use of certain human agencies, as his instruments, to help

humanity. Sri Keshaviaji, was Sub Registrar of Penukonda, Andhra Pradesh in the

1930’s. Worshipping Sai Baba with devotion, he acquired certain powers. After

retirement he devoted his life for the propagation of the name of Sai Baba very

much like Sri Narasimha Swamiji and Sri Radhakrishan Swamiji.

One day during his pooja session at Penukonda a boy who had been suffering from

hip-joint consumption for four years was brought to his presence. The abscess

had not dried up after all necessary medical care at Bellary and Miraj mission

hospital. The Thursday pooja of Sai Baba at Penukonda performed by Sri

Keshaviaji was largely attended. The boy was brought carried by two persons.

Sri Keshaviaji looked at the time of the boy’s arrival touched the boy’s

forehead and asked the boy to apply Baba’s udhi with coconut oil on the

abscess. He further told the boy that he should attend Baba’s Thursday pooja

for seven weeks. As foretold, at the end of the stipulated period, the boy’s

wound dried up. He became normal.

Pradhan, was an employee of the Revenue Department, Bombay. He lived in

Sandhurst Road. His youngest son had high fever for four days. The doctor who

was attending on him, found the pulse become weak, then irregular and then it

finally stopped. He was pronounced dead. The boy’s father would not believe it.

Such was his faith in Sai Baba, that he insisted that his boy was alive. There

was nothing that the doctor could do. He gently persuaded Pradhan to accept the

fact. But No! "Sai Baba is god, He will save my son," cried the father in

desperation. Applying Udhi on the boy’s face, he began to pray fervently.

Minutes passed. Nothing happened. Forty five minutes passed not a soul in the

room moved. Then the miracle happened. The boy revived, and sat up, as if he

had been asleep.

It is said that faith can move mountains.
