SUPERNATURAL ACTS OF GOD-SAI BABA -V

[Guest guest]

Divine Cure - Stranger than Fiction - Dr. K. Kanwar

Baba is the greatest healer who treads this earth. He can heal with His look or

touch, a mere brush of His robe, and also when He ignores you. He is the Doctor

of doctors.

As a Doctor, I have witnessed numerous patients suffering from very serious

ailments who, despite treatment in the best hospitals of the world, could not

be cured, but Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba miraculously cured them. Towards the

end of March 1995, it was my turn to be a patient of a fatal disease. I started

feeling very weak and suffered from pain all over the body, which remained

throughout the day. I had much difficulty in micturition, and that too with

frequency of burning sensation. Constant headache and drowsiness made my work

in the consultation chamber a torture for me, and I had to rest for about half

an hour before starting examining the patients. I consulted a number of

specialists who advised me to undergo a battery of tests and ultrasound

examination of the prostate gland.

Cancer of the Prostate Gland Diagnosed

The urologist whom I consulted examined my pathological reports and remarked

that the results pointed to cancer of the prostate gland. The specialist

advised me to undergo extensive open surgery as the disease by then may have

spread to the surrounding area and elsewhere. In view of my handicaps of

obesity, history of ischaemic heart disease for which I had balloon angioplasty

done and the cancerous process, etc., he advised that "the cardio-thoracic

surgical unit was to be kept ready for any emergencies" during operation. I was

completely shocked and remembered Swami in this hour of crisis in my life.

"Swami", I thought, "Whatever You do is for my good as You are my Divine Mother

and Father. You only know what is best for me and I would gratefully accept Your

verdict."

On my returning home after the consultation, my wife inquired about my diagnosis

and the result of the investigations. When I told her what had transpired, she

suggested that both of us should go to Whitefield (Bangalore) to have Swami's

Darshan and guidance. On reaching Swami's Ashram at Whitefield, we found Sai

Ramesh Hall jampacked with devotees, giving us little chance of attracting

Swami's attention, particularly when it was difficult for me to sit on the

ground. In case I sat on a bench, the possibility of Swami coming there was

remote.

On the second day of our visit, Mrs. Safaya, wife of Dr. A.N.Safaya, Director,

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, happened to be sitting

next to Nimi, my wife. Nimi told her about my illness and our purpose of

visiting Whitefield. Mrs. Safaya informed us that after Darshan, Dr. Safaya

would be in his room for a few minutes when he could be consulted. When we met

Dr. Safaya, he told us that he along with his wife was shortly proceeding to

Delhi and as such he could be of little help. However, he said, before leaving

he would speak to Swami about me. Later he spoke to Swami about my illness.

Swami told him that I had cancer of the prostate gland for the last 10 years

but He had checked its deterioration. Next day, during Darshan time, Swami

spoke to, my wife, Nimi and told her to proceed to the interview room. Nimi

tried to call me for

interview but I could not see her calling me. However, later Swami asked me too

to proceed for interview. In the interview room, first He spoke to a team of

officers who were working on Sri Sathya Sai Water Supply Project, a huge

multi-crore project for providing water to Rayalaseema region in Andhra

Pradesh, which for centuries did not have enough drinking water and efforts by

the British and Indian governments completely failed to yield any worthwhile

results.

Operation with Divine Touch

After giving final instructions to the group, Swami looked at me and with His

outstretched hand, fingers apart and palm directed to the ground, He waved His

hand and materialised a beautiful ring on which AUM in Hindi was written. He

pushed this ring on my right ring finger where it fitted perfectly. He then

told me, "Doctor, you have had this cancer for 10 years". Again He waved His

hand and materialised Vibhuthi, gave some to me and the rest He distributed to

the ladies sitting in the interview room. After this, He asked us to proceed to

the inner interview room. The first question I asked Baba was: "Swami, how do

You say that I had cancer for 10 years?" Baba looked into my eyes and I

suddenly remembered that 10 years ago I had acute retention of urine and had to

be kept in the Emergency Department of All India Institute of Medical Sciences,

New Delhi

overnight and the obstruction was relieved only the next morning. Following

investigations, I was found to have adenoma of prostate, for which I had to

undergo surgery by trans-urethral resection twice.

Swami lovingly looked at me and said, "Do not worry, I shall still look after

you. But this time you require extensive surgery. I shall phone Dr. Bhat, the

chief of Urology Department in Super Speciality Hospital at Puttaparthi. Dr.

Bhat will look after you." Both Nimi and I hesitated for a moment as the

weather was very hot, and so, we thought, that there was much risk for sepsis.

Before we could say anything, Swami said, "Do not worry, I can make all

arrangements in Bangalore also or wherever you like." I then realised my folly.

It dawned on me that Swami's arrangements are always perfect and because He

first mentioned Puttaparthi Hospital, why should I hesitate to go there?

Moreover, it was more a temple of healing than a hospital where Swami had

treated numerous cases and sanctified the entire environment. We both requested

Swami to arrange surgery in

the Super Speciality Hospital at Puttaparthi. Then Nimi spoke to Swami thus:

"Swami, each year when we come to You, he develops a new problem. We feel very

much ashamed of constantly begging boons from You". To this, Swami replied,

"No, there is absolutely no shame in asking Me, because I am your Father and

Mother and, in fact, everything". Nimi then prayed to Swami, "Swami, You please

operate on him". Swami replied, "Do not worry; My blessings are with him. I will

protect him". Swami then put His hand on my head lovingly. What a delightful

experience it was! I felt very powerful as blissful vibrations passed

throughout my entire body. It was a unique experience, something very difficult

to describe. Next, Swami ordered me firmly, "Doctor, you go and sit on the chair

outside - not on the ground". I obeyed His command, the meaning of which I

understood later. When He came out of the inner interview room, He told me that

He would call me again for interview. Next morning, He again

called us for interview and we found that a chair had been kept next to Swami's.

As we entered, Swami asked me to sit on the chair.

Miraculous Cure of Cancer

It was Tuesday. Swami told me that He had spoken to Dr. Bhat, a very famous

urologist and nephrologist, who heads the team in Puttaparthi Super Specialty

Hospital. He also told me that the surgery was fixed for Thursday, two days

later. We were called for a thorough check-up the next morning. Next day,

before leaving for the hospital check-up, we offered our Pranams to Swami.

After receiving His blessings, we proceeded to the hospital for check-up. When

we reached there, we found a team of doctors waiting for me. They conducted

various tests. Dr. Bhat spent a good deal of time on my physical examination

and reading the various reports. He then scanned through the ultrasound films

very carefully. After thorough examination, he said, "Well, Dr. Kanwar, I find

absolutely no abnormality in your prostate gland." I was completely surprised

at this observation of

Dr. Bhat and asked him in disbelief, "But doctor, what about all these reports?

They are from the best specialists in Delhi." To this Dr. Bhat replied, "With

all the years of experience that I have, I can very confidently reassure you

that there is nothing wrong with your prostate gland. Baba must have cured

you." Nimi, however, was far from satisfied and told him that we had come fully

prepared for surgery from Delhi. "Moreover, why did Baba tell us that the

operation would be done on Thursday - the next day?", she asked. Dr. Bhat

replied, "Swami's very clear instructions to me were to operate, if necessary.

I find no abnormality." To further satisfy us, he repeated uroflometery, which

showed excellent, results. So, he asked us to return with confidence.

Baba: the Doctor of Doctors

Next morning, Swami came to me and asked, "Doctor, did you not go to

Puttaparthi?" Before I could answer, He had walked across several Darshan

lines. Next day, He said, "I shall telephone Dr. Bhat and inquire about the

results" and walked away. I smiled to myself, for I was now absolutely sure

that He had cured my cancer during the interview when He had put His hand on my

head, and I had felt very powerful vibrations. It was only then that I realised

why He had asked me to sit on the chair for two days - perhaps then after the

divine operation, the wound was not healed. Afterwards, He never asked me to

sit on the chair. He gave me Padnamaskar for five days consecutively, two times

in the interview room and thrice afterwards. He not only blessed me with Divine

Padnamaskar but gave me a new life also. On the following day, Baba told me,

"Dr. Bhat says,

operation is not indicated" and then He walked up to Nimi and told her that He

had cured my cancer. I was convinced that once Swami said, He had cured the

cancer, then it was not necessary to repeat the tests. But because of the

insistence of my colleagues, I repeated the investigations seven times, but

they were found alt normal.

Baba is the greatest healer who treads this earth. He can heal with His look or

touch, a mere brush of His robe, and also when He ignores you. He is the Doctor

of doctors. I offer my most humble obeisance at His Divine Lotus Feet. Swami

explains the secret of the cure that many afflicted persons experience in His

Presence. He says, "It is My experience that I am one with every sentient

thing, every human being. My love flows out to everyone for I see everyone as

Myself. If a person reciprocates My love from the depth and purity of his

heart, My love and his meet in unison and he is cured of the affliction. Where

there is no reciprocation, there is no cure."

Phantom Footprints Appear In South African House [Original headline: HOUSE

OF 'MIRACLES']

Are these Sai Baba's footprints?

Devotees and tourists seeking cures for ailments and help with domestic problems

have been flocking to a Durban home said to be blessed by the miracles of Sai

Baba.

Kay Pillay, 59, owner of the home in Silverglen, Chatsworth, said the miracles

began 11 years ago when honey started forming on a framed picture of Sai Baba.

"We knew it was the miracle of Baba, because we heard of it happening elsewhere.

Soon we saw ash on the walls, kungu (coloured powder), turmeric powder, holy

water, brass statues of deities, sugar candy, dates, prunes, cloves and

coloured string representing the different deities," said Pillay.

He said brass figurines representing deities appeared on auspicious religious days.

"I believe we are highly blessed. This is Baba's way of asking us to help

others," said Pillay, a former supervisor at a packaging company.

The room where Baba's miracles are said to take place has been converted into a

shrine by the Pillays.

Visitors can see honey dripping across a framed picture of Sai Baba, and two red

velvet-covered throne-like chairs with a little stool from which ashen

footprints lead to a burning lamp. On the floor are offerings of sweetmeats by

devotees.

Pillay said every Wednesday and Saturday Baba's footprints are washed from the

carpet and everything is cleaned. The following day, the powder and footprints

reappear.

Dr Thillayvel Naidoo, a former lecturer in the science of religion at the

University of Durban-Westville and author of Sai Baba, An Analysis of

Documented Manifestation, said it was difficult to explain such phenomena.

Taschica Pillay - Mar 24.02

 

Baba In Croatia

One year during the vacation period, Swami asked a Greek lady to address the

gathering. This lady happens to be a doctor, actively involved in Sai service.

One of her service campaigns was in Croatia, then torn by war and conflict. She

organized a volunteer group and took it to Croatia for rendering assistance to

the war victims. The members of the group distributed packets containing food,

medicines, clothing, and along with these, a small photo of Swami. Recalling

the service experience, the doctor said, "The people were very happy that we

had come to help them. One of the people there held up Baba's photo and said,

'We know this person'. I was very surprised and asked, 'How do you know Him?

Have you heard about Him?' They replied, 'No, we have actually seen Him here.'

I was astounded and asked, 'Seen Him? Here in Croatia? And what was He doing

here?' They said 'Just what you are doing;

distributing food, blankets, and medicines.' I was stunned." After the

electrifying narration was over, one of the devotees present remarked, "Swami

this is absolutely extra-ordinary!" Swami replied, "For you it is

extra-ordinary but for Me, this quite ordinary and routine." A hush descended

on the audience - naturally.

By R.D. Awle

Here are four representative stories, from among the thousands I’ve heard and

read, which reveal a glimpse of Sai Baba’s divine power, compassion and sense

of humor. The first is the account of Bhagwandas Daswani, a prosperous

businessman of Hong Kong (reprinted from Face to Face with God, by V.I.K.

Sarin, former senior journalist at one of India’s leading newspapers):

“On May 10, 1977, I was struck with a massive heart attack. I was admitted to

the Queen Mary Hospital on May 11, and I learned later that at 4 a.m. on the

same day Baba had called my son, who was studying in Swami’s College at

Whitefield, and told him, “Go to Hong Kong immediately, as your father is

having a little heart trouble.”

Daswani said, “I actually died for two minutes and was revived by doctors.”

Although Daswani came around, there was no improvement in his condition and he

was confined to the Intensive Care Unit. On May 20, he suffered a relapse and

started hemorrhaging from the anus. He was losing about four pints of blood a

day. He had drips in both arms and a pad over his heart. The hemorrhaging

continued for three days and by May 24, his family had lost hope for his life,

and so had the team of doctors.

“On the morning of May 25, at exactly 4:10 a.m.,” recalled Daswani, “Sathya Sai

Baba walked through the wall of the room and sat on the bed. He showered

vibhuti all over me. The vibhuti came pouring out of his hand in a never-ending

flow. With the vibhuti bath I suddenly felt a surge of strength all through my

body. I was completely baffled by the appearance of Baba in the room, and

thought I was dreaming or hallucinating. I therefore said, ‘Baba are you really

here or am I dreaming?’ He said, ‘I am here all right. What would you like me to

do?’ I said, ‘Just put me on that couch over there next to the bed, so that I

know I am not dreaming.’ He then lifted me up as though I was a feather and

placed me on the couch. The drips in my arm remained intact, nothing was

disturbed. Baba then left the same way as he had

come.

“I then rang the night bell to call the staff nurse. A horde of nurses came

rushing into the room. Their astonishment was beyond description. ‘How did you

get here?’ they asked. ‘I walked,’ I said, aware that it would be impossible

for them to believe the truth. ‘Who has been in here? And what is all this dust

all over the bed, and all over you?’ they asked. I said, ‘Don’t ask me. Just

collect that dust and put it in a paper bag for me.’ They did this and

collected one and a half kilograms of Vibhuthi.“I began to improve rapidly

after this, and the doctors and the staff kept questioning me as to what had

happened. Finally an Indian doctor showed up and he said to me, ‘Look, I am an

Indian. You can tell me what happened.’ I told him, and he kept my secret. On

May 29 I was able to walk by myself to another ward. I made a

complete recovery, and what is more, my diabetes has disappeared and my blood

sugar is normal. I owe my eternal gratitude to Bhagavan Baba.”

Here is the testimony of Kitty Lamonte of Scotland (as related in Divine Glory,

by V. Balu & Shakuntala Balu):

“My story begins sometime last summer, when I first became aware of Baba. I was

invited to visit some Indian friends of a friend of mine and they talked so

lovingly and honestly about Baba that I decided to read more about him. I read

‘The Holy Man and the Psychiatrist’ [by Samuel Sandweiss], and in fact used it

almost like a Bible, in that I read the writings of Baba everyday.

“At this time I had something of a drinking problem and was consuming far more

alcohol than was good for me, but was unable to stop. I decided that I would

enlist the help of Baba, so for three nights I sat there with the book, Baba’s

photograph and the whisky. I poured my drink on the 27th November, at 11:45

p.m. and sat down to watch T.V. I put my hand on the book, looked at the

photograph and said, ‘You really will have to help me to stop this.’

There was an almighty noise and the glass exploded into a million bits. It went

everywhere in the room, it was under tables, on top of books in a bookcase and

some of it was found by my housekeeper the following day, under the cushion I

had been sitting on ...

“The most interesting thing for me happened two days later. I was on a train and

had not been able to get the sound of this exploding glass out of my mind, when

a voice in my head said, “Did you notice that not a bit of it touched you?” I

cannot tell you the feeling of absolute joy I experienced at that moment. I

suddenly realised that only a miracle could have stopped this glass from

damaging me very badly. It was no more than a foot away from my face.

“I have now made a firm commitment to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, never to

drink alcohol again.”One day Baba called a poor Muslim family in for an

interview, and along with them, one Hindu man. (The person who told me this

story heard it directly from the Hindu man.) A boy in the family was distraught

because his two best friends had gone on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and his parents

couldn’t afford to send him along. (As a consolation, they’d brought him to see

Sai Baba.) Baba started the interview by saying to the boy, “So, you want to go

to Mecca.” The boy burst into tears, and Baba then turned and spoke to the

others for a while. The boy continued crying, and finally Baba turned to him

and said, “You really want to go to Mecca, don’t you!” Baba then tapped the

wall of the interview room with His hand, and the wall

disappeared - and in its place, a street scene from Saudi Arabia appeared.

“Look, there are your two friends. Now go! You have half an hour.” The boy

walked into the street scene... and the wall reappeared.

Baba spoke with the stunned family for another half an hour, and then tapped the

wall again. The street scene reappeared - and the boy walked back into the

interview room, proudly carrying some souvenirs from Mecca!

A month later, when his friends returned home, the boy’s parents asked them,

“How long was he with you?” Confirming the boy’s account, his friends replied,

“Two weeks.”

(Clearly Baba is a Master of both time and space - as well as being That which

is beyond time and space! That’s the fourth story I’ve heard about Sai Baba

instantly transporting someone to a distant land through His interview room

wall.)

Here is an account of the resurrection of V. Radhakrishna, as told by V.I.K.

Sarin in Face to Face with God:

“The miracle took place in 1953. Radhakrishna was seriously ill with gastric

ulcers and other complications, when he visited Puttaparthi [from his home town

of Kuppam] in the hope that Baba would cure him. His wife Radhamma and daughter

Vijaya accompanied him. On arrival at the ashram he was put straight to bed.

Baba, who was then only 27 years old, visited him but made no attempt to heal

him. Radhakrishna complained that he would rather die than continue to suffer

the extreme pain he was in. Baba smiled but made no comments.

A few days later Radhakrishna went into a coma and his wife and daughter, who

were at the bedside, heard the “death rattle” in his throat. Swami came and

examined him, but still did nothing. An hour later Radhakrishna’s breathing

stopped. He turned blue, and then went cold and stiff. A male nurse pronounced

him dead. Baba examined him again. “Don’t worry,” he said. “Everything will be

all right.” But he still made no attempt to revive him. The faith of the wife

and daughter was put to severe test. The following day they sat loyally by the

bedside anxiously awaiting any signs of returning life. But there was no

indication of revival. Somehow the two women managed to cling on to a vestige

of faith that in His own way and in His own time Swami would revive

Radhakrishna. On the morning of the third day the body turned dark, quite

stiff and began to smell. It was suggested to Radhamma that the “corpse” should

be removed from the ashram, but she refused adamantly to countenance such

action without the authority of Baba. His aides asked for instructions as to

whether the body should be sent back to Kuppam or be cremated at Puttaparthi.

Baba replied enigmatically, “We’ll see.”

The two women were in despair. They went to Baba and pleaded with Him. He simply

said, “Have no fear. I am here.” He did, however, promise to visit their room

and examine Radhakrishna later. An hour went by, then two and there was no sign

of Baba. It was then that Radhamma and Vijaya gave up hope. Then, suddenly,

Swami appeared in the doorway of their room, calm and smiling. The two women

burst into tears, like Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, weeping before

their Lord who, they thought, had come too late.

Gently He asked them to leave the room, and as they moved out He closed the door

behind them. They do not know - nor anyone else knows till this day - what

really transpired in the next few minutes in that room where only Swami and the

dead man were present. But in just a few minutes, Baba opened the door and

beckoned the women in there, to see their loved one sitting up in bed and

smiling! The stiffness of death had vanished and his natural colour was

returning. Baba said to him, “Talk to them, they were worried.” Radhakrishna,

with a puzzled look said, “Why are you worried? I am all right!” He was not

aware that he had been in a deathly coma. Swami then said to Radhamma, “I have

given your husband back to you. Now give him a hot drink.” Thereupon He blessed

the family and left. The next day the patient was strong enough to

walk. On the third day he wrote a seven-page letter to a relative in Italy. A

few days after that the whole family returned to their home in Kuppam. Not only

was Radhakrishna raised from the dead, but the gastric ulcers and the other

complications were completely healed. It was a repetition of the raising of

Lazarus.”
