Yellamma Devi
Dear Friends,
My Father has told me this personal experience several times. He had also written down the story painstakingly and given to me but I tore it away. Now since he has no more energy to write, I have got this inspiration to share this story.
We as a family are born Christians and followers of Christianity. We also respect the experience of people from other religion and respect their faith and belief. We also believe that this world is born billions of years ago and there are billions of species. Human being has been around from 150000 years or so and there have been evolved souls who represented god to share Gods thought. They came from time to time and will come in future to guide humanity in future.
Fortunately for me I am born in a land which is spiritually evolved much before than any part of the world ever was. I have several experiences and do believe on guardian angels
The true Story
My dad Prabahakar has a friend who is 90 years old. He lived in Nagpur .His name is changed for Privacy. His friend Raju was a devout Christian and so was his family. When he was around 30 years old he fell ill mystically. He was on bed for 6 months with bed sours all around. The family had tried several doctors and all had given up. The family had given up but the mother kept praying to Lord Jesus. His mother had lost Rajus Father in a similar fashion.
One day Rajus Maternal uncle who was collector of a Coastal town called Karwar, had an unfamiliar guest. A Local shepherd came to him and told him that his Nephew is very sick and is about to die. He has been instructed by Yellama Devi to go and cure him. Karwar is 1500 Kms away from Nagpur. Uncle was surprised with the description the local shepherd gave about the home at Nagpur and the situation there.
Uncle wrote a letter to his sister at Nagpur and wished to know that if she would like to try this out. Mother as you know will never leave any stone unturned and agreed to try the shepherd out in spite of the resistance the other family members had.
The shepherd was arranged to travel to Nagpur along with a Kannada to Marathi translator. My father had this duty to receive him at Nagpur and bring him home. My father was surprised to see a poor shepherd in not so good white shirt and pajamas. My father silently mocked at this man. My Father escorted this man to his friend house. As son as they entered the home , the shepherd told my father to get out of the house and stand out side the window explaining that my father was just cured of chickenpox ( Mata) and would die during the ritual.
My father stepped out and watched the proceedings from the door.
The shepherd then met the mother and explained that her son Raju was poisoned by a lady in the family who had done the same thing to her father. This was due to a court case on their orange farm. He asked the mother if she would like to take revenge on the lady. Mother said no, I just want my son to live.
The shepherd went into a trance and started talking to some one. His eyes turned red and he was in anger. The translator explained that he was in discussion with the goddess Yellama Devi and she is ready to save Raju and in place take my father. The shepherd was disgusted and questioned Goddess the reason to send him all the way here to get embarrassed. He did not agree for this exchange bargain. Then the Goddess seems to have agreed.
He asked my father to get 6 0r 7 live hens. My Father handed over the same. He made Raju stand erect and he stood there in a trance. The Shepherd then started reciting mantras and he touched the chicken and they were dead one by one. It was like transferring death from a human to the chicken. Then the shepherd took all the dead chicken and asked no one to follow him. The shepherd came back after half an hour after appropriately disposing the chicken.
He then talked to the mother and explained that in 15 days this boy will get well and will be shifted to Bhandara. That the family will win the case and the lady who induced poison will come and fall on your feet. My father witnessed that the prediction was true.
He looked at Christ Picture in the house and said that your family is suffering because you don’t worship your kuldevata that is Christ. There are no prayers in your house. He requested the family to hold prayers to their lord Jesus.
The shepherd did not take any money nor a glass of water. And went away never to be seen again.
On the way back my Father asked him the story as to how he was bestowed with these powers.
He narrated that one day he was a small boy. He and his sister were playing in the forest while hey took the sheep for grazing. Suddenly his sister’s eye was hurt by a branch of a tree and her eyes popped out. The shepherd assured god and suddenly kept his hand on the sister’s eye and her eye was intact. From that day he had achieved the power and the instruction to cure as directed by the goddess.
My dad’s friend Raju is still alive.
Six month back we got an information that he was about to die at the age of 94 of cancer. My father is old enough to travel so he requested me to visit. I and my sister visited him and he was lying like a vegetable and could barely speak. We sat and spent time with him. We came back and told our dad that he will be gone in a week’s time.
Then one day a Christian priest went to their house and prayed. Next day morning Raju got up on his own and sat on the dining table and had his tea. he is still alive and mobile.
That shows that someone up there wants him to live longer and for reason unknown.
This story also indicated that God is one with many manifestations and he uses them appropriately. Whichever way one wishes to travel the prayer reaches to him
This world has created more misery just to prove whose god is the best
With this I end the story
