1. Rishikesh

So this happened years ago(the incident that I am about to relate,not this picture!????) It was months after my rock-climbing accident(almost 17 years back),I was still on a wheelchair, I had just read the 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananada and was very inspired by it, I also did a course in Pranic healing at this time and so was very interested in Spirituality,Mysticism and Energy work. On this particular day though I was feeling a bit low, I was at my house in Dehradun(on the foothills of the Himalayas) and my parents were with me.They were concerned about me as they could see I was feeling a bit depressed because of being stuck in the wheelchair for so long. As we were finishing breakfast we heard a voice outside our gate and as we looked out, we saw a Sadhu covered in ash sitting outside our gate. My father who is a very pragmatic man, said he would ask the guy to leave and went out to speak to him, he came back after a while though and asked me to see this guy as "there was something about him".. I went out on my wheelchair and the Sadhu started to say things about me that had been on my mind(almost like mind-reading), I told myself that that was probably what these guys did, and it was probably all generalisations about a Young girl in my condition. He then told me, that he would give me something that would give me a lot of peace and healing power. He asked me to pluck a flower from the ground, he then chanted something and as I opened my hand I saw that the flower had become a 'Rudraksha bead' in my hand!!! He then again asked me to pluck a flower,again he chanted something and as I opened my hand the flower had become a Tabeez( an amulet) in my hand. He then said that I should keep these touching my skin and it would give me a lot of healing power.He then left without saying anything else. Im not sure if he did have powers or not, but I did heal quickly after this incident and had a lot of energy and belief in myself. I'm not sure if this was a miracle or if it was just some tricks, but it did give me a lot of faith and hope and sometimes those are enough for one to connect with their own miraculous infinite powers. Om Namah Shivaya????
