Sadhvi Kalp Lata
Sadhvi Pramukha Ladanji was coming towards Sujangarh from Jaipur. When the ladies of the Sujangarh heard this news, they at once made a plan to visit the nuns on the way. In that group of thirty-three ladies, were Shravika Punibai, Laxmibai and Mrs. Askaranji also. During those days, modern vehicles were not available, so they hired three camel-carts.
In the morning at 4 a. m.., the ladies started from Sujangarh on hired camel-carts. The weather was pleasant and it made them drowsy. Mrs. Askaranji said, “Don’t get sleepy, chant the Mantra of Bhikshu Swami.” None liked her suggestion because of drowsiness. They rejected her idea and said, “You do it, we will go to sleep.” At that time it was very dark. There were neither good roads nor facility of street lights. Camel-carts were moving swiftly. Suddenly, the first camel-cart fell into a deep pit. The ladies who were sleeping on the second camel-cart felt that a saint was standing before their cart and, was beckoning them to stop. All of a sudden they woke up and screamed, “Stop! Stop! Stop the cart!!! Look, what is ahead.” The driver got down and walked a few steps further and to his astonishment, he saw that the people of the first cart were all in the pit and were slightly injured.
They helped each other in getting out of the pit and once again set out their journey. All of them realised that it was the impact of the Mantra which saved their lives.
The vibration resulting from the Mantra was affecting the unconscious mind of the sleeping ladies. Due to that Mantra, the ladies were able to realise the presence of the saint who saved their lives, even in the dark.
