In March of 1999, I had a very bad car accident which left me concussed for several days in the intensive care unit at The Royal Adelaide Hospital. I had a broken collarbone, ten broken ribs and serious heart damage. I had been a passenger in a car that had been hit on my side by a truck, both the doors were ripped off and the seat I had been sitting was left twisted around ninety degrees. Because of the impact on the rear of the seat I developed Atrial Fibrillation, which is an irregular heartbeat and also high blood pressure, my heart was left swollen and the muscles were badly damaged.
My cardiac specialist told me that I would have to take medication for the rest of my life to control my heartbeat and blood pressure. The only problem was the medication was very toxic and could have a detrimental affect on certain organs in my body.
Through various circumstances I ended up going to a 7-day retreat at the Adelaide monastery in November 2003 and was told about Bhagavan and Amma and that amazing things were happening in India.
So I arranged to go to a five-day retreat at The Golden City in India and receive the Oneness Blessing. This was in February 2004. While we were there, we were taken to see Amma giving a healing ceremony to about two thousand Indians. I was a bit doubtful, but I thought why not, so I asked for my heart to be healed and to come off the medication I was taking.
When we got back to Australia, I felt the same as before I left to go to India and was thinking that was a waste of time and money.
The following week I had an M.R.I. scan taken on my heart. Afterwards I went to see my cardiac specialist. I could not believe what he told me. My heart had returned to its normal size and the muscles looked perfectly O.K. I was then allowed to stop taking my medication to see what would happen.
Six months later I went back to see the cardiac specialist and he informed me that my heart was beating perfectly and that my blood pressure was normal. He said that he would recommend to his other patients that they should go to India.
