This incident I am writing about took place
in the late eighties. I have three daughters and my second daughter was struck
by a severe case of jaundice. The disease really caught on with her and her
eyes, nails etc started looking yellow. She felt nauseous all the time and even
light food was difficult for her to swallow. Slowly, she developed fever, cough
and cold and became completely bed ridden.
My husband, a doctor did all he could but
there did not seem to be much improvement. I was worried sick watching my highly
spirited daughter just lying frail and weak in bed with her eyes closed. I kept
praying for some miracle to happen so that my daughter could improve a little
and eat or drink something. At this point, even sips of water were difficult for
her to swallow.
Help came in the form of my husband’s junior.
When he heard about what had happened, he suggested that we should take her to a
small village in Haryana, which was known for having a cure for jaundice. Though
my daughter was very weak, I was ready to take her. My husband also agreed that
there was no harm in trying.

We left on our journey by car early next
morning with the junior and his wife accompanying us. We reached this village
called ‘Chara Gaaon’ which had a small
pond known for its magical powers to cure jaundice. My daughter was supposed to
take a dip in its waters and drink as much as she could. Though very weak, she
did as she was told. Her father helped her to dip into the pond with her head
completely immersed in water as many times as possible. She was also made to
drink the magical water as much as she could.

The junior suggested that we fill all the
water containers in the car with the pond water so that on coming back to Delhi,
my daughter could drink more of it for a few days. After doing what was needed
to be done, we left the village on our return journey. As
we reached Bahadurgarh,
my daughter opened her eyes saying in a weak voice that she was hungry. We took
her to a road side dhaba which was known for its clean and hygienically prepared
food and ordered lunch.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my
daughter munching happily and enjoying her food. There was my daughter who till
morning could not even drink water and was now actually eating spicy food with
relish. I knew I had seen God with his multi faceted being just then on my
little daughter’s innocent face.
We came back to Delhi and my daughter was
cured completely within days. I made my other two daughters drink some of that
pond water too. This important incident in my life confirmed my belief in God
and his miracles.
