Under God's Protection

It was evening and I was travelling by car with my father from Bratislava to Prague. From the very beginning my father asked me to sing Sri Chinmoy's songs, so I was singing. Finally he asked me what was Guru's most powerful song. I told him about the Invocation, Guru's most powerful song invoking the Presence of the Supreme. I told him that I could sing and he could imagine that inside his heart he was folding his hands.
When I finished singing the Invocation, it was all silent for at least 10 minutes, as we drove along the highway in the dark. Then suddenly our car went out of control. We spun around and crashed hard into the middle of the railing with the back of the car. We turned around again and stopped. During this accident I was saying aloud very fast, "Supreme, Supreme&quot. I opened my eyes and discovered that I was in my father's arms. He was looking at me with his eyes wide open, smiling, and asked, "What were you saying?" He felt that only because of Guru and the Invocation were we still alive. It was a miracle that nothing had happened to us. We were in Guru's hands.
