Chain of accidents

6666666

t was a Thursday dated 17 March 2017. I was having
th
Imy regular Thursday fast. I was wearing white
clothes. Unfortunately, I met with an accident near
Gokul Shirgaon. It was 11.30 am. I was riding my bike.
A tractor came from the wrong side and it badly hit
me as its steering was broken. My vehicle was under
the wheels of the tractor. But I was safe because I was
thrown to the dug hole. People thought I will be dead
but it was a destiny and my life was saved. I lost my leg in
this accident.
I got the best treatment in the hospital of an
orthopaedic surgeon Shri. Devdhar at Kolhapur. I was
completely bedridden and dependent. I was in severe
pain. I spent few lakh rupees on the treatment but
ultimately lost my leg. Destiny is always unknown and
it is an ultimate truth of life.

My sadguru kept me fit when I needed the fi tness at

most. Now I was settled. My children were fi nancially

independent. I was economically well-off. But, My
family was collapsed due to this major accident. They
were helpless. They were taking a good care of me.
My wife was a strong woman. She decided to fi ght
back in this situation. She chose to stand strong rather
than a weak heart.
