Paadanamaskaaram, Swami.
I would like to share the miracle that occurred with my father last week. By the immense compassion and grace of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami, my father was saved from the jaws of death.
My father is a state government employee working in Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh. On 5th of December, I received a distressing call from my mother informing me that my father had been admitted to the hospital due to a critical health issue and was in the ICU. Shocked and deeply worried, I immediately approached Swami and informed Him about my father’s condition. Swami, with infinite kindness, instructed me to chant the Maha Mantra, “Shri Anjaneya Shri Subrahmanya” for his recovery. When we rushed to the hospital in Mangalagiri, the doctors informed us that my father had developed three stones in his gallbladder, one of which was about 3.5 cm in size. To make the matters worse, one of the stones had moved close to his pancreas, causing severe inflammation and infection. The infection was spread across other internal organs until lungs due to which oxygen levels fell down drastically. Operation was mandatory to save him, but his body was not in a condition to be operated. Therefore, his condition was declared extremely critical. Even after a full day of treatment, his condition continued to deteriorate and the doctors expressed that his life was in grave danger. By the evening of the second day, the doctors gave up and told us to prepare for the worst since they had no hope of saving him. They even suggested that we take him home to prepare for his final rites. We were asked to complete the discharge formalities the following day. My mother and I were devastated and sat outside the hospital in complete despair. At that moment, Swami’s instruction about chanting “Sri Anjaneya Sri Subrahmanya” flashed in my mind by Swami’s grace only. I immediately told this to my mother and both of us began chanting the Maha Mantra continuously throughout the night. The next morning, during the doctors’ rounds, we received an astonishing news. Doctor said that the stone, which was close to pancreas had miraculously passed out through his urine. Due to that, the inflammation was reduced and doctors could give steroids to stop the further damage of the lungs. After a few hours, his condition came under control and the doctors declared that my father’s condition is now safe. They were utterly surprised and so were we! Our mental agony was replaced by immense relief and gratitude.
Later, my mother and I reflected on this incredible turn of events. Despite Swami's earlier guidance, I had forgotten to chant the Maha Mantra in my state of panic. During that time, my father’s condition had only worsened. However, the moment we followed Swami’s divine instructions, the situation changed miraculously and almost instantaneously. I am deeply grateful to Swami for blessing my father with a second life. I also recall a similar instance, where Swami saved me when my platelet count had dropped to a dangerously low level of just 3,000. Swami told on hearing my illness that the count will increase and that I’ll be discharged in 3 days. It happened in the same way and I was discharged on 3rd day. My brother’s daughter was getting illness almost every day. Swami told to chant a Mantra and the baby never got even a trace of illness after that. Thank you for everything, Swami.
Your servant, Abhiram.
