The Miracle of the Bullet-Catching Blanket in World War II

During World War II, an elderly couple who were devoted followers of Maharaj Ji were in deep agony because their only son was serving in the British Indian Army on the fiercely contested frontlines in Europe. No letters had arrived for months, and news of heavy casualties was mounting daily. One evening, Maharaj Ji arrived unannounced at their modest house in Fatehgarh. Wrapping his famous woolen blanket entirely over his head and body, he lay down on a wooden cot. Throughout the night, Baba Ji tossed and turned, groaning as if receiving violent blows upon his body: "Ah! They are firing! Oh, the burning! They are shooting him!" The terrified couple sat by his side all night praying, assuming Baba was suffering from extreme fever or delirium. At dawn, Maharaj Ji sat up fresh, calm, and radiant. He shook out his woolen blanket in front of the astonished couple. To their absolute shock, heavy, deformed lead rifle bullets clattered to the floor! The blanket itself showed scorch marks and singed wool, yet Baba Ji’s skin was completely unscathed. Baba smiled gently and said: "Do not worry, your son is safe. He will return home soon." Two weeks later, their son arrived home on military leave. He narrated that his battalion had been ambushed under relentless machine-gun fire. Every soldier beside him fell dead, yet whenever bullets came towards him, he felt a mysterious heavy woolen blanket shielding his chest and deflecting every fatal round. When the family compared the date and hour, it was the exact night Baba Ji had absorbed the bullets into his own blanket!
