The Gift of Life to a Widow's Son
On one occasion Baba was traveling to Hanumangarh, Nainital, with some devotees. Quite a distance before Haldwani, he asked his driver, Ramanand, to drive faster and faster. At a lonely place between Kathgodam and Jeolikot, Baba ordered the driver to stop the car and he got out. In the forest nearby a woman was weeping over the body of her son. He had died sometime before from a snakebite. He asked the woman why she was weeping. Then he said, "Was this not your only son?" She nodded. Baba said, "Your husband is also not alive?" She began to cry. Then Baba said, "Your son is not dead. Why are you weeping? Keep quiet." Baba rubbed the boy's body with his hand, and life returned to him. After a little while the boy regained consciousness. Baba immediately got into the car and drove off without giving the woman any opportunity to express her gratitude to him.
