Prediction of future

Pushkar : Prabhupada met Mr. Sethi just after Mr. Sethi had had a car accident. He was wearing a big brace on his neck, and the doctor had told him that he had to wear it for six months. Prabhupada said, "Why do you have this on your neck?" Mr. Sethi said, "The doctor said I need it for six months." Prabhupada said, "Take it off; you don't need it." Mr. Sethi thought, "What is this? Prabhupada tells me to take it off, but the doctor tells me to wear it for six months?"
 
He took the brace off and didn't need it. He was perfectly all right. He also told me that once his father was sick in Chandigram. Mr. Sethi was in Bombay when he got a telegram, "You must come immediately. It is very serious." Mr. Sethi told Prabhupada, "Prabhupada, I'm going to Chandigram. My father is very sick. It's serious." Prabhupada said, "He's not serious." Mr. Sethi said, "I just got a telegram." Prabhupada said, "Your father will meet you at the bus station." Mr. Sethi took a train and then a bus to Chandigram, and when he got to the bus station, his father was there, perfectly all right.
 
Another time Mrs. Nair, the wife of the infamous rascal who tried to cheat Prabhupada, came with an attorney to Mr. Sethi's house. Prabhupada asked her, "Why is your husband so greedy? He only has a few days to live." Three days later Mr. Nair was dead. You don't want to offend Prabhupada.
