The Vision That Heals!!!

In a trice, with His Touch Of Grace, He healed him from an unrelenting migraine that had been haunting him for long…Here He donned the garb of a Divine Doctor not to ‘heal and leave’, but to ‘heal and grab’…bringing in a ‘miraculous’ transformation of an atheist to a firm believer of God…Read on Sri PV Nair’s story, extracted from Sanathana Sarathi, March 1981.
It was on December 8, 1979, that I came to know from a Bangalore daily that there as a discourse by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba at the Golden Jubilee Hall, Lalbagh. I remember that day as the most precious one in my life, as on that day I had an opportunity to get the darshan of Bhagawan, which marked a great transformation in my life.
I used to suffer from severe “migraine” attacks, which continued despite all the treatment that I sought from specialists in medicine. One specialist in nervous disorders, a former Head of the Department of Psychiatry, Jawaharlal Institute of Post-Graduate Medical Education & Research, told me that there was no permanent remedy for this ailment. As an engineer with serious responsibilities, I found that the recurring “migraine headache” would not allow me to attend to my daily duties properly and often I was confined to bed. My wife used to pray to several deities. Finally, we decided to go to Kerala, our native place. There, I consulted my brother, who is an Assistant Surgeon in the Kerala State Health Department and also Medical Officer in charge of the Public Health Centre, Manantoddy. After a thorough check-up, he prescribed some medicine, which was to be taken before the “attack”. But, the very next day, when I was driving with my family to Cape Comorin, the “attack” came and the prescribed tablet was of no avail. I took a number of tablets, but the pain did not subside. The excess of medicine caused a stomach upset. The relief came in the midnight after vomiting.
After returning home, my brother was surprised to learn that the tablets had not given immediate relief. My brother-in-law, who is a Senior Assistant Surgeon in the Kerala Government, prescribed a tranquiliser, which also proved ineffective. My father-in-law, who is an I. A. S. officer in the Kerala Service, was worried about my condition and wanted to take me to some specialist in Trivandrum, but this was overruled by my brother-in-law as I had already consulted the best specialists.
After returning to Bangalore, the attacks continued and my neighbours and friends sympathised with me that I was unable to attend to my factory duties. It was at this juncture that I saw in the newspapers an announcement about Baba’s discourse at Lalbagh. Having heard about Baba’s superhuman healing powers, my wife and I decided to go to Lalbagh to have darshan of Bhagawan and have a trial. We were quite lucky to have a close glimpse of Bhagawan and we heard His discourse from a distance. Before the discourse was over we came to the passage through which Baba was to leave the meeting. My wife was worried about my headache and prayed that if Bhagawan Baba had healing powers I should not get the headache on that day. After the discourse Bhagawan’s car came and we were both lucky to get a close glimpse of Bhagawan and felt happy that Bhagawan looked at us.
After returning home, my wife suggested to me that if the headache did not recur for the next three days, I should get her a picture of Baba. The days passed and there was no headache. I had to yield to her request. I got a picture of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and she started doing Puja praying to Him to relieve me of my migraine attack permanently.
As an atheist till that time, I started thinking whether Baba was that powerful and whether the stories about previous Avatars were true and whether Baba was an Avatar.
The days rolled on and the migraine attack never recurred again. I started thinking deeply about God and Baba and used to stand in front of the picture which my wife was worshipping. Then I started going through the books written about Bhagawan Baba and the teachings of Bhagawan and I started slowly believing in God. Now it is more than a year and the migraine attack has not affected me and all my friends and relations have felt happy over the change brought about by Bhagawan. Now they all believe in Bhagawan as an Avatar. Myself and my wife worship Him as our family God and are trying to practise Bhagavan Baba’s principles in our day-to-day life.
By curing my migraine attack by His one Divine darshan, Bhagawan Baba has drawn me into the spiritual path and made me believe in God. Now I believe in the previous Avatars, Rama, Krishna, and the various deities like Muruga, Ganapati etc. Nowadays we perform Puja and sing bhajans daily twice in our house and very often feel Bhagawan’s omnipresence.
