A Second Chance in Real Life

Posted by maneesh On November - 29 - 2010

H.G. Nanda Gopa Prabhu a Brahmachari Trainee had a wonderful experience recently. He recalls:

After distributing books in the local trains I was going to Murlidhar Prabhu 's clinic for dental work. Bh Gauranga Prabhu was with me. When we reached the Sion square we saw an amazing incident.

A man was running to catch a bus which had slowed due to red signal. When he reached the bus and caught hold of the door-bar, suddenly the signal turned green and the bus which had not completely halted roared off. The man ran along with it for some time trying to jump on, but then slipped off and was dragged along.

Then he let go the handle bar. The last I saw of him was his head disappearing before the huge rear wheels.

“He is gone! Alas!” I sighed and turned to Gauranga. “ Krishna !” he fell silent. Then suddenly the man reappeared from the bus, which had screeched to a halt. He came out looked around in a dazed way as though still under shock and came and sat on the side walk.

“This man needs a book,” I said to Gauranga and ran off with my book bag. “Hey wait!” Gauranga shook his head.

“Are you ok sir?” I reached out to the man. “Ah…yes,” he was still shaking out of fear.

I dusted his clothes and spoke some soothing words. He seemed little more comfortable.

“This is your re-birth, isn't it?” I said.

“Yes, yes,” he nodded.

“God really saved you; He has given you a second chance. Now please don't let go of this chance and thank Him. I have this book by Srila Prabhupada on reincarnation,” I handed him a ‘Coming Back'. “Please take this as a token of thanksgiving to the Lord, and read it and practice it.”

The man nodded and took the book.

This is a real incident that happened in a local hospital in Bangalore, India. A 4 year old girl was admitted due to leg fracture.

As it was an open fracture, she had to undergo an operation to stitch the protruding bone back in place. Though it was quite a minor operation, she was hooked on to life support system, as a part of the process. The doctors had to input some data prior to the operation to suit different conditions. Thereafter, the operation proceeded. Half way through the process, the life support system suddenly went dead. The culprit: - Some one was using his/her hand-phone outside the operation theater.

And the frequency had affected the system. They tried to track the fellow but to no avail. The little girl, young and innocent as she was, died soon after.

* Message*: "Be compassionate! Do not use your hand phone /mobiles especially at any hospitals or within the Aircraft or any places where you are told not to use it.. You might not be caught in the act, but you might have killed someone without knowing". Sometimes it's a matter of Life & Death....!!!!
