Swami Turiyananda

One day in the meditation cabin, a poisonous beetle bit Turiyanandaji's hand. Without even opening his eyes to see what had bitten him, he flicked the insect aside and continued with his meditation. Slowly his hand began to swell; by the following morning, his whole arm was badly swollen, which caused the students great anxiety. The nearest doctor was fifty miles away, and they had no transportation except a horse and a two-wheeled cart. Then something like a miracle happened. A young doctor from New York arrived in the evening , after having walked fifty miles. He immediately opened his kit, lanced Turiyanandaj's hand,and applied the necessary remedies. The students were greatly relieved. In this incident, they observed Turiyanandaji's power of forbearance. This doctor later became one of Turiyanandaji's most earnest disciples.
