“I was going to Gorakhpur from my home at Ballia, UP, to drop my daughter back at her school after her summer vacation. From the train station we travelled in a 16-seater vehicle. As we hit the highway, I suddenly  realised that the vehicle was swerving to the left. To my horror I saw that the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel. When I woke up the driver, he panicked and turned the wheel in the opposite direction violently. The vehicle hit the road divider and leapt in the air, turned turtle and crashed on to the ground. I was thrown out of the vehicle.

 When I regained consciousness, what I witnessed froze my blood. Lying on the road I saw my little daughter on the ground with the whole vehicle resting on top of her. I thought she was dead! I did not know whether I myself would survive. In that state, it pained me that if I were to die, I would not be able to go for Prasanthi Seva planned for the next month.

The next thing I saw was that the vehicle which was crushing my daughter was tossed onto one side of the road by some unknown force. To my amazement I saw my daughter alive and well she was picking up my wallet and my mobile phone from the road. “How Swami did this is still a mystery to me. I checked on my daughter, who I thought was dead a few moments ago. She did not even have a scratch on her body. Mysterious are the ways of Swami I thought.” And like every year that year too I  went for my Prasanthi Seva.

Amrita, a 14-year-old girl from the state of West Bengal visited the Orthopaedics department of SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram, with multiple painful tumours on both her hands. The situation had become so painful that she could barely write, and it was worsening day by day.

After relevant scans and investigations at SSSIHMS-PG, the Orthopaedic surgeons realized that Amrita was suffering from an extremely rare genetic disorder called the Maffucci Syndrome. 

In this disorder multiple tumours called Enchondromas develop in small bones of the hands causing deformities. The deformities gradually increase leading to physical incapacitation for the patient, and these are dangerous as well since some of these tumours in due course, can have malignant transformation, if not timely removed.

Amrita underwent three complex surgeries and all the tumours of both the hands were removed. The resultant defects were filled with bone allograft procured especially for this her. The surgeries were followed by a supervised and home-based rehabilitation protocol.

Eventually, she was completely free of the tumours with no long-term recurrence. A girl who was not able to write with her hand, studied law and has become a successful lawyer. This is Bhagawan Baba’s love in action.

As with all treatment at Bhagawan Baba’s hospital this treatment was also provided totally free of charge.
