"I Changed It": The Olympic Champion’s Request

The gentleman’s name is George. Swami stood there and just called, "Hey, Greece, come here." Swami said, "You are the only fellow who came here?"

"No Swami, my friend is also sitting there."

"Your friend?"

"Yes."

"Who is he?"

"Swami, he is an international Olympic champion."

"Olympic champion?"

"Yes, the high jump - number one in the world - from Greece. He is also here, Swami."

"Oh, I see. Come on, boy." He called him. That fellow came forward, a very tall man.

"Mmm, what? Tell your experience to these boys.”

He shared that he got married, and when he and his wife were expecting their first child, they consulted many doctors. They all said his wife would deliver a male child. All tests, scanning tests, confirmed that a male child would be born to them. But both of them prayed to Swami, "Swami, we want a baby girl - not a boy."

Swami said, "All doctors said you would have a male child."

"No Swami. You can change it."

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes."

"You go."

They went, and the wife delivered a female child, just as they wanted. And Swami said to the boys, "Taka, I changed it. If you boys don’t behave properly, I will change you into girls immediately! Behave yourselves properly." That’s what Bhagavan said.
