Respected Sai Brothers and Sisters,

Today is "Cancer Awarness day", A day when we take a closer took at Cancer
Patients and what has been done to them and what can be done to make cancer
a less potent disease.

My Father was a serious cancer patient, Cancer of the Throat at a very
advanced Stage, When I started my Studies in Bhagawan's Institution in 1980
his Condition worsened, In January'1981 My family got an Interview with
Bhagawan and I cried my Heart out, Bhagawan chided me saying that His Boys
in the Institute are brave and hold their head high in all conditions, When
My Father and myself asked Bhagawan for Prasadam, Swami said " Prasadam
vastundhi", meaning "Prasadam will come, will be given. On 20th
February'1981, I got a call saying that my Father was almost on his death
bed and his condition has worsened and that his life is being measured in
hours, The Next day I was totaly devastated, I just could not do anything,
During evening Darshan I was sitting right at the back at the Shed where
Bhagawan's Car was stationed, Bhagawan finished his Darshan and then took a
group for interview, I thought that I should sit in the front and ask
Bhagawan for permission that I should go and meet my Father. I sat in the
Front just by the Side of Mr.Khayaldas, Bhagawan came out of the Interview
room only during the 3rd Bhajan and then went straight in to the Bhajan hall
and arathi was taken, Bhagawan closed the Interview Room door, when "Om
Shanthi Shanthi" was sung, Bhagawan suddenly opened the Interview Room Door
and pointed at me and called me in, I rushed inside and fell at Swami's
Feet, Swami said " Why Do you Cry?, Am I not here, Have I not been there
with your Father, with you?, Give your Father This Prasadam, Start tommorow
Morning, Not Today", Saying this Bhagawan created and gave me some Vibuthi
after telling me to put it in a white envelope, which I did.

The Next day When I rushed to My House from the Station, My Father was up in
Bed eating something, He told me "Swami's Prasadam that you sent me has
given me a second life", He told a stunned me that Someone had come and
given the receptionsit inthe Hospital a small White packet of Vibuthi to be
given to my Father at around 6.30 in the evening (The Same time that Swami
gave me the Prasadam) and told him to apply it on my Father's stomach, When
the Doctors came to check up at 9.00 P.M in the night, The Canceruos Growth
had shrunk to such an extent that it was almost non visible, Everybody was
stunned, could not believe their eyes. When I took the packet of Vibuthi
that Swami had given me it was the same packet that was given to my Father
by Someone, Not Someone but SWAMI himself, It was given in the hospital at
the same time when I was given the Vibuthi by Swami. When I came back to
Parthi Swami called me from the back and said "Yeemi, Vibuthi Dorikinda,
Happy?," Meaning "What, Did you get the Vibuthi ?, Are you happy ?.

My Father lived without any Problem for another 23 years till a ripe old age
of 89 and passed away last year.

What a wonderful Experince one which goes to Further tell everyone that time
and place do not matter to SWAMI, one should have faith,Love and Devotion to
him, Everything else will be taken care of by Him.
