Sai baba cures stomach pain

It was sometime in 1997 that I went on a tour of north india with my classmates. After traveling to visit Agra, Delhi, mathura, our last stop was shimla, that had little to do with our architectural education. At night we had ordered some pulao and in the freezing cold, it was a blessing to eat hot freshly cooked food. In shimla, they gave us three plate fulls for ten rupees which was rather unbelievable. After eating most contently, we retired to bed. In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped rapidly, and despite two blankets, we were all shivering uncontrollably. The night passed and the day brought the sun with it and much needed warmth. It felt like we had been defrosted. I woke up with a terrible pain in my stomach. The pain caused vomitting every few minutes and was accompaniednby fever. Being my first trip away from home,I was quite worried. The pain recurred and so did the vommitting. At this point of time, I prayed to Baba. Sai was my friend from childhood, ever since i visited Shirdi  in class five. I prayed very deeply to Baba to help me since the pain was too severe and I did not have my family around. Luckily for me, two others in the group had also fallen sick. Thus the case for taking all three of us to the doctor was very strong. Within three hours, the faculty and friends took us to the doctor. Even as I entered the doctor's cabin, something on the window sill drew my eye. I looked in the direction of the object, only to see sai baba's picture. I was so thrilled to see his picture in the most unexpected place. I felt baba had guided me to this doctor. The doctor injected some medicines and with that the symptoms slowly began to dissappear. I was so relieved. As the bus rolled out of Shimla, I closed my eyes as tears of gratitude streamed out . For those who believe in Baba, he engulfs you with his love, care and protection. He cures for sure. Jai sai nath.
