At the outset, I wish to mention that I will always remain indebted to Bapu for blessing me with a rebirth on November 17, 2006. About 7 days prior to that day, I suddenly became unwell. I would start gasping for breath even on walking just a few steps and the situation became far worse on the 17th of November. I was having so much difficulty to breathe that I was hardly able to speak with anyone. When I consulted the doctor, he immediately asked me to get myself admitted to a hospital. He also added that the symptoms were those of an impending heart attack and that my heart was barely functioning and was supplying only about 20% of the Oxygen the body actually needed.
We boarded a taxi as there was no time for an ambulance and started towards the Parsi General Hospital. However, Destiny had something else in store for me. Suddenly I turned blue and collapsed on my daughter’s lap right there in the moving Taxi. At the same moment I saw Bapu in front of my eyes. I saw a rainbow and stars twinkling around him. He had his hands stretched out towards me and was walking on a path adorned by fragrant flowers. He said,” Come my child, your time has come and as I have promised you, I have come to take you along with me.”
