One day, Sri Radharaman Charan Das Dev, was speaking with a number of visitors when a woman arrived, weeping and wailing, and fell at his feet. He said, “Ma! Why do you weep?”
Woman: Baba, my only child is suffering from the plague. There is no hope for his life. If he dies, I cannot go on living. Kindly save him, or I will take my own life at your feet.
Babaji: Ma! Do not lose heart. Go and chant the Name of the Lord, and give him the Lord’s charanamrita. The merciful Lord will take pity on you.
Woman: Baba! I don’t want to hear anything. I am helpless. If you do not save him, I will end my life right here at your feet—before my child.
As she said this, she began to sob uncontrollably. Sri Radharaman Charan Das Dev tried his best to console her with kind words, but her heart-rending cries moved everyone to tears.
At last, Sri Radharaman Charan Das Dev said, “Can you bring the boy here?”
“I can,” said the woman. She ran and brought the child, who was about ten years old.
Sri Radharaman Charan Das Dev said, “Go and give him a dip in Radhakunda.” The woman obeyed without hesitation.
After three or four minutes, the boy revived and came out of Radhakunda on his own. The woman had recovered her lost child. She brought him to Sri Radharaman Charan Das Dev and made him lie down and surrender at his feet. Sri Radharaman Charan Das Dev embraced the boy and said to the mother,
“Ma, you too should bathe in Radhakunda, and then take the boy home. Nitai Chand has saved him. Now, there is nothing to fear.”
