Cured With a Flower
One day my aunt came to stay with me and my two sons in Allahabad, for she wished to bathe in the Ganges at Prayag on Makar Sankranti day. When I took my aunt to see Baba at Church Lane in the evening, he asked her to go back to Nainital the next day. Thinking of my eldest son, who was sick with a fever, my aunt did not want to return so soon. Also, the festival of Makar Sankranti was still four days away, so her purpose in coming to Allahabad would be unfulfilled. I explained to Baba that I would not be able to escort my aunt to Lucknow since I could not leave my son alone with a high fever. I therefore asked him to allow her to stay with me for some more days. Baba did not listen and asked Kanhaiyalal Srivastava to escort my aunt from our house to the Lucknow station for the 10 a.m. train the next day. Picking a flower from those lying near him, he gave it to my aunt saying, "When you leave, put this flower on the boy's forehead and go away." She did as Baba directed. When she left, the boy's temperature was 105.5 degrees. Thereafter, his temperature began decreasing at a rate of one degree an hour, and by evening the fever was gone without having used any medicine. Even though a doctor had diagnosed my son with mumps, Baba's flower cured him in no time.
