On 4 November 1971 an American devotee of Maharaj, to whom he had given
the name Radha, was in a rickshaw with her American friend Anjani in
Vrindavan. The rickshaw puller was moving very fast. All of a sudden
Radha closed her eyes with fear and had Maharaj ji's darshan
in that state. She had never had such an experience before. She said,
"Maharaj ji said to me, 'There is going to be an
accident. Jump off.'
I immediately obeyed his command. I did so knowingly, with a cool mind
and without hesitation. I was not at all afraid or anxious about my
safety. There was no apparent reason for my impulsive action, and any
spectator would have considered me insane. Just then another rickshaw
collided with out rickshaw at the crossing. It all happened so quickly.
I had not had time to say anything to Anjani. She was slightly injured,
but was fine after receiving some first aid. All this while, I strongly
felt Maharaj ji was with me. Returning to the ashram, I wanted to
express my thanks to him, but he did not give me an opportunity.
Whenever I was in his presence, either he changed the topic of
conversation, or he did not pay any attention to what I said."
