75. Calamities Crossed Over by Shri Navakara
The Worthy Pupil of Shri Saurabhaji Maharaj of Maharashtra, the Worthy Pupil Sadhvi Sumanprabha-'Sudha'
Once during the course of our vihar, as many as 3 or 4 hours passed on the way. We had crossed some 8 to 10 kms. There was no person to be seen on the way; we were passing through a terror-striking jungle! Revered Guruniji M. S. was suffering from an ailment of the heart. She had a very severe headache. There was no water with us. How to give medicine to her? All were frightened. In all faith we resumed the recitation of Shri Navakara Mahamantra. We saw a small hut within the bushes. The track leading to it was very narrow. There was a buffalo within the hut and a farmer was sitting nearby. We revealed our problem to him. He milked the buffalo at once and served us with milk. The worthy Revered Guruni was given a pill with milk. After rest for a while we proceeded further. As we looked back just at random, we were awfully surprised to find that there was no hut, no buffalo, no farmer! Were our eyes deceiving us? Certainly in this lonely spot Shri Navakara had come to
our rescue.
