Ma in Pramathbabu’s residence
While returning from Deoghar we resided in the house of Pramathbabu in
Kolkata. One day when it was decided to go out somewhere, Pramathbabu said,
‘Just not possible’. So saying he went up to the terrace and sat down doing japa.
Gradually he became so still as if he had lost consciousness. In the meantime it
started raining, but Pramathbabu sat in the same manner. This Body informed
all present there, ‘Start singing kirtan. Everyone drenched in rain sang kirtan
and then Pramathbabu started rolling on the ground. After almost an hour
Pramathbabu became normal and said, ‘I can’t explain where I went or how
happy I was with the extremity of the thought that ‘How can Ma leave!’’.
Hiralal’s life in danger
One day a boy named Hiralal arrived and while conversing informed that an
astrologer has predicted that his life is in peril. Then suddenly words came out
of This Body’s lips, ‘Your danger is very near’. He asked, ‘What should I do’?
This Body advised, ‘You come here frequently’. So for few days he kept coming.
One day he arrived during Amavsya (new moon day), This Body suddenly said
to Khukuni, ‘Bring some fire’. When the fire was brought told to give it in my
Hand. Shouting ‘no’ she moved away with the fire. Then told Hiralal to light a
match stick. He lighted the matchstick and gave it to me. As long as the fire was
burning, kept a finger on the fire. Disturbed, Hiralal cried, ‘Ma! What are You
doing’? Replied, ‘Your life’s danger has been evicted’. It took almost a month to
cure the burnt finger.
There is one more important point in this incident. A man was seriously ill,
This Body was taken at the last moment. Before receiving the news of his death
had told Khukuni to bring some fire because (This Body) had to touch the fire
before his cremation. It was the same. Hiralal arrived after Khukuni brought the
fire and also took it away on her father’s advice. His whole body was touched
with the fire. Because of this, Hiralal’s life-danger was evicted and also the
earlier statement was fulfilled.
Danger on not following Ma’s order
One evening a lady came and said, ‘Ma! You will have to visit my house’.
This Body was then strolling on the Dancing Hall (in Shahbag). Just on seeing
her a kheyal arose that I should stay far from her, there should not be any
conversation with her too. But she kept on persisting for going to her house,
and This Body remained silent. Only once a word came out, ‘No’. Being helpless
she went and pleaded with Bholanath. Bholanath asked her, ‘Tell why you want
to take Her’. Then she informed that her elder son was ill. The doctor’s have
