Healing of a dumb baby through Swami Vishwananda

Dareel a 13 year old boy from Mauritius tells his story:

In 1996 Dareel was a two year old baby. He was born dumb. One day, the aunty of Dareel took him to Swami, who was 17 years old at the time. She carried him in her arms. When small Dareel saw Swami Vishwananda he started to speak. Swami Vishwananda put a necklace made of shells on him. An evening of February 2006 Dareel came to the Ashram in Quatres-Bornes for prayers. After having spoken with Dareel, Swami said to me:

  “This temple here in the ashram is made for those who are poor materially but who have great spiritual faith. It is the faith which cures people.”

  “But in the case of Dareel, he could not have faith. He was too young to understand what had happened to him.”

  “Yes, that is something between him and me. The miracles increase the faith of people.”

  “Why did you have put a necklace of shells after having cured him?” I asked.

  “The shell is the symbol of Vishnu.”
