After a 95-year-old man woke up at his own funeral, it left his family in shock. When the man in question was taken to the hospital, the doctor told his family that Budh Ram was dead after he fainted at his house in Khetri, Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan.
After being declared dead, his last rites were to be performed and the Gujjar family called a priest at the home to do the deed. But as soon as the man¡¯s elder son, Balu Ram started pouring water on the body for the customary bath before cremation, Budh Ram¡¯s body started shivering which stunned the family beyond words.
¡°The priest had started the rituals and a barber had shaved?the heads of the men in the family. We were about to bathe the body as a customary practice before the funeral procession" the man's elder son Balu Ram said, as reported by TOI.?
After his body started shivering, the old man was immediately taken on the bed and to everyone's surprise he breathed back to life. The man then told the relatives that he had pain in the chest so he decided to sleep.
¡°He started breathing and sat on the bed soon after. When questioned by relatives, he said he had suffered chest pain and slept. It is nothing but a miracle,¡± Balu Ram added.?
The family also said that this is the happiest Diwali they are celebrating because, if the elderly man would be dead then they would have not celebrated the festival of lights this year.?¡°This is a very happy Diwali for us. Had my father been dead?we wouldn¡¯t have celebrated the festival as is the norm in any house where a death has occurred. But this time, the celebrations are grand" Budh Ram's younger son, Ranjit said.?
The family considers this as a miracle and it evidently is a miracle. But at one hand isn¡¯t it spooky that you consider someone dead and take him on the pyre after which he wakes up and says that he was just sleeping?!
