Sai Baba healed a crippled boy
Let me narrate my own experiance
about Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. I am a retired Railway Officer from
Indian Railways, now residing with my son in USA. Aged 76 plus. I am
ofcourse a native of Hyderabad & am a devotee of Baba since 1965.
In july 1974 I happened to visit
Puttaparthy along with my wife for Gurupornima celebrations. On the
following day of Gurupornima (sorry, I do not remember the exact
date), we all sat in the open on the sands just in front of Prasanthi
Nilayam in the morning hours for Darshan. As usual Baba came from his
room on the top floor of Prasanthi Nilayam and started walking towards
ladies side first. In the front row was an Assamese lady sitting with
her crippled son aged abt 9 to 10 yrs. It appears voulanteers used to
carry this boy every time to assit the mother as the boy was crippled
& just canot walk. Baba went ahead, but suddenly made an U turn & came
to this lady & enquired abt the boy. When she explained abt him Baba
gently took hold of the boys arms, made him stand erect, patted him,
applied vibhuthi on his fore head and asked him to walk. Immediately
he started walking gently with a to & fro walk within that area much
to the delight & surprise of those present. The mother was in tears
unable to express her joy at this miracle. Later on the mother
explained to the gathered few including me abt their efforts to get
the boy cured at various Hospitals including Bombay but failed in
their efforts. It's only after hearing abt Baba, as a last resort she
undertook the journey all the way from Assam to Puttaparthy along with
the boy. & here she got the cure, though she waited for abt 10 days.
Till then, I only heard of Baba's miracles, but this was my first
ecperiance of witnessing His miracle personally from whence I
developed more faith in Baba's Godhood.
