A story of Healing

through the grace of

Sri Swami Vishwananda

Healing from myositis ossifficans

The father of the child told this story the 15^th of January 2011. His son, called Haresh Burun, had his arm broken. The bone was not healing well and an abnormal growth could be seen on the arm. The doctor said surgery was required. The surgery was done, but a piece of the bone was still growing. The doctor said it was a disease called myositis ossifficans* and it could not be cured. The child’s arm was becoming bigger. The doctors said this abnormal growth would continue growing and that there was no remedy for this.

The parents, with their son, went to Sri Swami Vishwananda who put his hands on Haresh’s arm and made a prayer. After some time the parents went back to the doctor who checked the child’s arm and found that the growth had stopped completely to grow.

*myositis ossificans

[əsif′əkanz]

a rare inherited disease in which muscle tissue is replaced by bone. It begins in childhood, with stiffness in the neck and back, and progresses to rigidity of the spine, trunk, and limbs. The administration of diphosphonates1 may prevent the abnormal deposition of bone, but there is no cure after it has occurred. Metabolism of calcium and phosphate remains normal throughout the course of the disease.

Healing with Sri Swami Vishwananda

The following story from Sri Swami Vishwananda's new book of his talks, JUST LOVE, is a metaphor for the path to healing and, of course, for the Guru Disciple relationship. ;)

So one day they asked the bamboo, “Tell us the secret of it. What secret do you have, that the Lord treasures you so much?”

About surrendering, there is a beautiful story about the flute of Krishna. You know Krishna always holds a flute in his hand, but there is a great story behind it. Everyday Krishna would go in the garden and say to all the plants “I love you.” The plants were very happy and responded back and said “Krishna, we love You, too.” One day Krishna rushed quickly into the garden very alarmed. He went to the bamboo plant and the bamboo plant asked “Krishna, what’s wrong with you?” Krishna said “I have something to ask you, but it is very difficult.” The bamboo said “Tell me. If I can, I will give it to you.” So Krishna said “I need your life. I need to cut you.” The bamboo thought for a while and then said “You don’t have any other choice? You don’t have any other way?” Krishna said “No, no other way.” And it said “OK, I surrender to you.”

So Krishna cut the bamboo, made holes in it, and each time, while he was doing that, the bamboo was crying with pain, because he was paining the bamboo so much. Krishna made a beautiful flute out of it. And this flute was with Krishna all the time. 24 hours a day, it was with Krishna. Even the Gopis were jealous of the flute. They said “Look, Krishna is our Lord, but yet we get to spend only some time with him. He wakes up with you, He sleeps with you, all the time you are with him.” So one day they asked the bamboo, “Tell us the secret of it. What secret do you have, that the Lord treasures you so much?” And the bamboo said “The secret is that I’m empty inside. And the Lord does whatever he wants with me, whenever he wants and however he wants with me.”

So this is complete surrender: where God can do whatever He wants with you, whenever He wants, as He wants. And for that you don’t need to be scared, you know, you have just to give yourself. And who is your Self in Reality? It’s just Him! In the Gita, Krishna said: Everything is Me. In the Bible, Christ said: Give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar and what belongs to God, to God. But what belongs to God? It is your spirit. It is your true Self. If you want to Realise your Self, be like the flute! Make your prayer like this “Lord, do whatever you want with me, whenever you want with me, and however you want with me.” excerpt from Just Love: The Essence of Everything

So, just surrender and JUST LOVE. Swamiji's next darshan at Shree Peetha Nilaya is 5 February. Come be enveloped in His Love, sing bhajans to the Divine with us and begin or continue your path to healing, wholeness and Unity with the Beloved One.

SWAMI VISHWANANDA SEVA SOCIETY (KENYA)

‘‘Our vision is to serve the needy children, the less fortunate and to create a better environment for them.”

We are a group of volunteers based in Nairobi who have formed a Seva society. We believe that through love and selfless deeds we can make a difference and create a life changing moment for the less fortunate. We are committed to serving the less fortunate children by visiting homes in Nairobi and offering them with what we can such as Food, Wheelchairs etc. We endeavor to visit one home every month.

OUR RECENT SEVA WAS ON 25TH DECEMBER 2010

The Swami Viswahanda Seva Society volunteers arranged a seva day for the 25th December 2010 at Caroline Wambui Mungai Foundation. This is a foundation that was formed in the memory of Caroline. The foundation was established in December 2004 to rescue orphans and vulnerable children from poverty to destiny with love.

We wanted to celebrate Christmas day with the children. Christmas day is the day when Jesus was born. Celebrating Christmas is not just to attend to churches, Midnight masses or Bhajan singing, but it’s much deeper than that. This is the day when Jesus brought something new to the world, which is forgiveness, Compassion and Love. There are many Avatars, saints and prophets who have taught and brought Love to people, but Jesus brought Love and forgiveness. This is the day when you pray to remind yourself of the forgiveness by firstly forgiving yourself for whatever you have done wrong followed by forgiving others who have wronged you.

It’s not about God forgiving you, but it’s about forgiving yourself first. And after that, focus on the Love that you carry inside of you. This is day when he is born inside each one of us. And this rebirth should not only be there during Christmas time but should be there all the time. He is born continuously in each cell of your body to remind us all of the love, compassion and forgiveness - Sri Swami Vishwananda

OM-Healing with Swami Vishwananda unexpected

Every month on a Saturday we meet in a private flat for an OM Healing session and some exchange afterwards. A few months now our OM-healing group has become wonderful and very intense. Once we had a very special experience and a very special guest as one participant saw Swami Vishwananda standing in the door watching us during OM-healing.

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.”

A quick healing through Swami Vishwananda

In the year 2000, a sty appeared in one of my eyes that necessitated a minor operation. When I returned home Swami Vishwananda was there and he asked me to please remove the bandage from my eye. I was astonished greatly to see that there was no mark of an incision. For recuperation from this operation I had two weeks free of work; happily I was very pleased to spend this time with Swamiji.

The sciatic problem of dad healed by Swami Vishwananda

During the year 2001 my dad had a sciatic problem and had to stay in bed. Swami Vishwananda was in the country as my elder sister’s wedding was to take place during that time. Swami Vishwananda took some oil and massaged my father’s whole leg and soon he was able to walk again. Since then my dad has had no further trouble with his leg.

Healing of a cancerous tumour through Swami Vishwananda

During Swami Vishwananda’s first visit to the United States in Boulder in 2005, someone gave Swami Vishwananda a photo to bless, saying the woman in the picture’s name was Margaret and that she would be having surgery for a cancerous tumour the following day. When the next day arrived, they opened her up to find her tumour gone. All they found was a little infection where Margaret’s tumour had been.
