One evening
in October 1978 in Brindavan, Chakravarti met Bhagawan at four o' clock to take
leave of Him to fly back to Hyderabad. Baba asked him, "What time is the
flight?"
He
replied, "Swami, it is at quarter past six."
Bhagawan
thought for a while and said, "Bring your car here."
When
Chakravarti brought the car to the portico of the mandir, Baba got into the car
and
asked him to drive the car to the college auditorium. Baba saw the
rehearsal of a students' drama at the auditorium with Chakravarti and when they
returned to the mandir, it was already six o' clock. Even as Chakravarti was
thinking of postponing his departure to Hyderabad since he would have missed
the flight, Bhagawan told him, "You can leave for Hyderabad now."
Chakravarti did not want to tell Baba that the plane would have left by the
time he reached the airport. He drove down to the airport and heard an
announcement that the flight to Hyderabad, which was delayed due to unavoidable
circumstances, was then ready for boarding!
On
another occasion in 1979, as Chakravarti took leave of Brindavan, Baba conveyed
His blessings saying, "Go Safely And Return Joyfully!" Chakravarti
boarded the plane at Bangalore airport and the plane took off on time. But when
the plane reached the Hyderabad airport, instead of landing there, it kept
circling above. About forty-five minutes later, the anxiety of passengers was
intensified as preparations were being made for belly-landing owing to some
technical problem with the aircraft's wheels. But, Chakravarti, who was reading
a book, was free from any worry since he remembered the assuring words of his
'Guardian' before he had left Brindavan. When the plane finally came down for a
forced landing, the wheels of the plane emerged out just in time; it was a
normal landing! As Chakravarti thanked Baba and came out of the plane, he saw
ambulances and fire engines lined up to take care of any eventuality.
