The Doctor of Doctors

As a one year child, I was told that I experienced continuous ill health. The doctor, a well regarded pediatrician in Chennai, recommended performing a medical procedure which was felt as dangerous by the family members. At this point my grandmother, a staunch believer in Swamiji took me to Bangalore and placed me on Swamiji’s lap. She surrendered her grandchild to his fold and pleaded with him to restore health. Swamiji not only accepted the responsibility instantly but also administered a dosage of udhi/ashes to be consumed for a certain period of time. His instructions were followed religiously by my family members. After one month I was taken to the pediatricians’ clinic for consultation. He was hoping to perform the required procedure anticipating rapid deterioration in the child’s health. To his surprise, he found me perfectly healthy. A miracle had happened in the intervening period. The weak child had stopped displaying the previous symptoms, gained sufficient weight and was transformed into a normal healthy, happy child in a span of only 30 days. The doctor shook his head in disbelief and turned around to my grandmother and asked-“Who is your doctor?”-----She smiled and replied---“My guru, Shri Radhakrishna Swamiji”. Praise be to the doctor of doctors, Swamiji!

The flying mala

I was in class 10. I had written the board exams for the first time. I was extremely apprehensive of the results. I had done my best yet was unsure how the results would unfold.I was worried and repeatedly sent prayers to Swamiji. It was 4:30 p.m in the evening. My grandmother was standing outside the living room speaking with our neighbor. My grandfather had just finished his tiffin and returned upstairs. My mother was busy in the kitchen. As i finished my 10th round of prayer or more something unbeleivable happened. I had asked Swamiji for some sign that my prayer was heard and he had taken action. There was a huge photograph of Swamiji in the living room. There were three malas of sandalwood on the photograph. As i finished my prayer and stood looking at the photograph, one of the malas suddenly came alive. The static mala suddenly moved forward and with a terrific force was thrown away from the picture and fell down ten feet away. I was stunned for a moment. There was no external force in operation that caused the movement. I picked up the mala and placed it back on the picture. After ten minutes the phenomena repeated itself. I was dazed. No one else was around to witness this event.My heart told me that my prayer had been heard and Swamiji was communicating to me through the garland falling that action had already been taken. I got a score that matched my expectations. I was extremely pleased with my results.

I bow to Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji for showering his grace and compassion!
