Devotee Experiences
Lecturer in Chemistry, J. B. Degree College, Kavali, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh
My name is Dr. Vadlamudi Chandra Kumar. I work as a chemistry lecturer in Jawahar Bharathi College, Kavali. I am in the service of Swamiji for the past twenty five years. I pay my salutations and respects to the lotus feet of Paramaguru Sri Venu Datthathreya Swamiji and Avadhootha Chakravarthy Sri Ramadutha Swamiji. I tell my experiences I had with Sri Ramadutha Swamiji.
That was a Sunday in February, 2008. Swamiji was giving darsan to the devotees in the Ashram. After completing the pooja rituals at the temple of Sri Venu Datthathreya Swamiji on that day, I took the permission from Sri Ramadutha Swamiji to go home. Swamiji specifically called and gave me Prasad. After having Prasad, I left Ashram to my home on my two-wheeler. We (my family) made a plan for that day to visit my fatherin-law at Chittoor (another town which is 250 km away) who was in serious unhealthy condition. My wife was pregnant and could not travel by bus. So we decided to go by car and prepared accordingly to go to Chittoor.
As I was on my way to home from Ashram, a Scorpio (Brand) Jeep hit my twowheeler from the back at a very high speed. I was thrown up in the air for about five to six feet high and fell twenty feet far away from the spot of my accident but sitting in squatting position. Driver of that vehicle was heavily drunk. For some time, I could not comprehend the situation there. The driver of Scorpio vehicle came over to me, lifted me up, brought aside and made me standing. My two-wheeler fell on the other side of road. I was weeping and called Swamiji on phone. I was worried that, certainly, some of my bones might have broken. By that time I called, Swamiji left Ashram and was on His way to Vijayawada (another place). After listening to me on phone patiently, Swamiji said and quote “Do not worry, my son! Not even a single bone is broken in your body.
For your confirmation, you get an X-ray photo and see the doctor, keeping full faith in me. This is my hest.” Then, I gathered some courage, took my vehicle and slowly went home. From there, I took my wife and Mr. Chandra of Ashram along with me and went to hospital. Mr. Chandra was sent by Swamiji Himself to assist me. The doctor has checked me thoroughly and said to me “No bone is broken in your body. This does not look like an accident case at all. As you fell in a sitting posture, the muscles at the bottom are slightly contused. Give three weeks' rest. You will be all right.” I told doctor that it was nothing but the miracle of our Swamiji. For at least fifteen to twenty days from the day of accident, if I closed my eyes, I used to have dreamy visions that I was landing from a flight and sometimes as floating in the air. This is an evidence to say that my accident was to be a very major one. When I asked Swamiji whether I could go and see my fatherin-law, Swamiji said to me “The death spirit is waiting there and watching for you. It was good that you did not go there. For that reason only, I intentionally called and gave you the Prasad. This is all the grace of Sri Venu Datthathreya Swamiji. He will take care of everything.” I, thenceforth, dropped my plan to go for seeing my father-in-law.
Believe me! Avadhootha Chakravarthy Sri Ramadutha Swamiji plucks out any amount of misery and diminishes without any trace in an unparalleled way and saves us from great disaster.
My second brother Sri Gnaneswar, works as principal for Padmavathi High School in Atmakur town of Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh State. He had a heart related health problem in the year 2013. The veins to the heart were blocked to the extent of 90%. Doctors suggested for immediate bypass surgery. With the permission of Swamiji, we got admitted him in Continental Super Specialty Hospital at Hyderabad. Doctor there said “Heart pumping is good, we will complete the surgery within four hours and will discharge him in four days. We will send him home safely.” As we had the assurance from Swamiji, we got him admitted in the hospital.
On the next day, my brother was taken into operation theatre at around 8 O'clock in the morning. More than four hours passed. But, he was not brought out even at 2 O'clock in the afternoon. When we inquired the cause of delay, we were scared to know that his B. P. was not coming under control and therefore it was not possible to close the heart. We called Swamiji on phone immediately and apprised Him of the matter. Swamiji told us that He would take care of the situation. In the next movement, the B. P. came under control and the doctors closed the heart. He was then transferred to I.C.U. My brother was still in anesthetic condition. When he came into senses, his B.P. rose to two hundred points. It could not be brought under control even after giving various medicines to bring it down. Doctors finally said “He cannot be kept under sedation like this for a long time. If the B.P. will not get controlled by tomorrow morning, there is nothing left out that we can do. You may pray God for his life.” I and all of my family members present there were stunned to hear that from the doctors. My sister went to Swamiji directly (At that time to our luck, Swamiji was in Hyderabad), caught hold of His feet and prayed. She pleaded “Swamiji! You are the only savior of us, none other. Kindly save my brother please!” Swamiji, being very kind hearted, He told her that He would look into and asked her to tell me to call Him on phone. At that time, I was with my brother in the hospital. My sister came and asked me to call Swamiji immediately. It was around 9 O'clock in the night when I called Swamiji
“What my son, how is your brother now?” Swamiji inquired. “Swamiji! pranaam. My brother's B.P. is not coming under control. You are only the savior for us and we have complete faith in you” I said weeping. Swamijisaid to me “I will take care of it. You sleep in peace without any worry.” Then I slept in fortitude that night.
When I woke up in the morning, I was told by the nursing staff that my brother has brushed his teeth and took his breakfast too. On hearing that good news we felt very happy and called Swamiji at 8 O'clock in the morning to express our gratitude. He then said “My son! Indeed a big battle took place in saving your brother from death.” If my brother is alive today and lives with us, it is only because of Swamiji and His grace. What can we offer to clear our debt to Him? We feel very happy to be eligible to receive the grace of Bhagavan Sri Sri Sri Ramadutha Swamiji. We bow our heads and salute with devotion to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramadutha Swamiji.
