Once, while returning from Tapovan, Paramahamsa chanced to hitch a ride in a roughshod army truck. Clambering down the mountainside, the truck came up against an unexpected obstacle. The sudden jerk that resulted sent a fierce spasm of pain up his spine. Convinced that his injury was severe, the army doctor offered to put his lower body in a cast, but Paramahamsa refused. He simply placed his own palm upon the injured area, unaware that this prophetic moment was to reveal the first evidence of his miraculous healing powers. Urged by the doctor, he agreed to be radiographed when they reached Haridwar. The results stunned all but him. The fracture was there indeed, but how did he manage to move around with no pain? In the coming days the fracture too healed of its own accord. Little did he know that the healing touch that he placed upon his own body would one day benefit millions of people around the world!
