As I write this experience, I am reliving the moments. My heart is throbbing. One can imagine my state on the day it all happened. It was the 8th of May 2010. The day began quite like any other....but only till the afternoon. We did not have the faintest of idea about what awaited us beyond.
I was doing my daily afternoon chores. I was about to put my two and a half year old son to sleep. Since he was in a mood to play and was playing I did not force him to sleep. That day it was very hot so I opened the windows.
………and then a terrible thing happened, while playing my son fell from the window. We stay on the second floor and I was alone at home.
My only support was my Bapu. Looking down I was stunned and I could only shout out Bapu's name. Bapu! Bapu!
My son was crying down. I ran down, picked him up and called my husband and briefly told him what had happened. We went up, I applied udi on his forehead, even put some udi in his mouth and stood in front of Bapu’s photo. I had to pacify my baby but I was crying.
Suddenly I felt a surge of strength. It was Bapu. I knew it was Him! I wiped my tears and took my baby on my lap. Gradually I could pacify him. I could see no apparent injury despite the fact that he had fallen from the second floor. What if there was an internal injury? I was very worried.
Just then my husband arrived. He could not imagine what sight he would have to see but seeing both of us sitting down calmly he was greatly relieved. Our son did not look like he had fallen from the second floor. He took him and made him do all the movements with his legs and hands and found everything okay.
Just then my husband’s friend and arrived and he advised us to go to the doctor for a thorough check up in case there was some internal injury. We immediately took him to the doctor. We told the doctor that he had just fallen from the second floor, looking at him he was shocked. He immediately did his urine test, took his x-rays and made him do all the movements. He also checked whether he was answering to his questions properly. Finding everything normal he said it was a ‘miracle’. As a precautionary measure he said that we would do a CT scan. They thought there was a small problem so the doctors advised us to keep him under observation for a night. He even told us to wait because in case he was to be operated they could do it immediately. But everything was normal.
I was sure that my Bapu was with me nothing could go wrong. I firmly believed it and that is exactly what happened. Everyone was shocked and surprised they said, “Truly your God was with you, he has saved your son, it is a miracle.”
It is only because of Bapu’s grace my child is fit and fine. Bapu, I have no words to express my gratitude. You really love and care for my child. It is You, who held my child. Bapu you are Great. Bapu, it is You and only You who held my child’s hand. A few days prior to this incident ‘Matruvasalya’ granth had come to our house as if to protect us. My Sadguru knowing the forthcoming incident had already sent his protective shield. Wherever ‘Matruvasalya’ resides there can never be anything bad, fateful or evil. This in itself is His unfathomable leela.
A two and a half year old child falls from the second floor and does not have so much as a scratch on his body! Just imagine! Bapu, You and only You could do it.
A few days after this incident we met Suchitdada, hearing his loving “Hari Om’ I burst out crying and just could not speak. Then after hearing everything, Dada only said that God has given us a wonderful experience, chant ‘Om Krupasindhu ShriSainathaya namah’ and ‘Om Manasamarthydata Shri Aniruddhaya namah’ 108 times.
I pray at the feet of Bapu that my bhakti unto Bapu be firm and my love for Bapu be ever deeper.
