Blossoms at The Lotus Feet Ebook PDF

PREFACE
Sri Sathya Sai Seva Samithi, Malleswaram completed 50

years of Loving Service at the Lotus Feet of Bhagawan Sri
Sathya Sai Baba in November, 2011. To commemorate this
Golden Jubilee, the Malleswaram Samithi is happy to bring
out this volume titled, Blossoms At The Lotus Feet, a
collection of articles contributed by some of its devotees who
have lovingly shared their experience with Bhagawan. Only
Swamis Blessings and Love have enabled the devotees to
pen their experience and has helped the Samithi to bring out
this volume. We, at the Samithi, take this opportunity to offer
the publication as our Premamaya Bhakthi Samarpan at
the Lotus Feet of our very dear Omnipresent, Omnipotent
and Omniscient Bhagawan.
Bhagawan during His Avatharhood has touched the life
of many devotees. Baba has showered His love on many
and has guided them in His own inimitable way. Many have
experienced His Blessings, especially when they were facing
some problems, be it of a trivial nature or an insurmountable
one. The devotees have shared their special moments, the
bliss they experienced, the blessings they received and all
that they have seen in the proximity of Bhagawan over the
last many years. Most of the articles in this volume offer
compelling reading and one can get a ringside view of
Swamis Love in action over the last six decades.
It is seen that in the narration of their experiences, the
devotees have often used present tense while refering to
viii
Swamis remarks, actions, advice etc., which only indicates
the frm faith in Swamis continuing presence and guidance
even in the absence of His physical body.
Some of the articles submitted by the devotees were in
Kannada and some in English. Accordingly, it was decided to
bring this out as a bilingual volume. There are three Sections,
following the Foreword, Preface and Introduction about
the Samithi. The frst Section contains the articles written
in English and the second Section has the articles written
in Kannada. In the third Section, the speeches delivered by
the specially invited speakers during the Golden Jubilee
celebration held on October 16
th
, 2011 at the Sindhi High
School Auditorium in Kumarakrupa Road are printed.
Bringing out a volume of this nature was a new
experience for the Samithi. First and foremost we must
acknowledge that, this volume would not at all have been
possible without the blessings and constant guidance of our
dear Bhagawan. It is His will that prompted us to venture into
bringing out a volume at a Samithi level with contributions
mainly from the devotees associated with the Samithi. We
have no words to offer our thanks to Swami. We can only
pray to Him to continue to guide us and show us the way to
prove ourselves worthy followers of His teachings. Swami,
we seek your blessings.
Though it is Bhagawan who has guided and helped us
to bring this volume, it is our duty to acknowledge the
assistance provided by some members of the Samithi.
To begin with we offer our thanks to all the members of the
Samithi who have contributed articles. Our senior member
Samithi got a school and temple constructed in the village,
helped to secure electricity connection to every hutment and
got the village road tarred. Balvikas classes were regularly
conducted at the village by the Mahila Vibhag.
Another important event held in the eighties of the last
century was a two day Moral Education Camp held at the
Government Girls School in 13
th
Cross Malleswaram. 200
children attended the camp. Eminent people belonging to all
religious groups participated. This included the Archbishop.
A big procession was taken out and was one of the biggest
events of those times.
A brief description of the glorious past is mentioned
above. Presently, by Bhagwans blessings and grace,
Malleswaram Samithi is actively pursuing all activities as
defned by the rules and regulations of the Sri Sathya Sai
Organisations. All the three wings of the Samithi Spiritual,
Service and Education are fairly active. The word fairly
is used because there is always scope for more and also for
improvement. The Samithi has a Seva Centre which organizes
a medical camp every month. Sri Sai Narayana Kendra,
which is also attached to the Samithi carries out Narayana
Seva every month.
The Spiritual Wing conducts bhajans every Thursday and
also on all other special occasions. The Samithi has a large
group of dedicated bhajan singers, both mahilas and gents.
Some of them have been members of the Brindavan Bhajan
Group aswell. There is regular veda chanting and puja before
xi xii
head for the city. Here the Bhajana Mandali is run and they
are also celebrating the functions in connection with the
Prashanthi Vidwan Mahasabha, Kannada branch. Make the
best use of this chance, all of you.
Malleswaram Samithi also had the distinction of setting
up the Mahila Vibhag and Balvihar, within a few months of
the announcement made at the Third All India Conference at
Prashanthi Nilayam in November 1969. In 1970, Bhagawan
changed the name from Balvihar to Balvikas.
The Mahila Vibhag was a dynamic unit with fully
devoted ladies. They took bhajan training from Smt. Prabha
Sreedharan, conducted Sadhana Camps and carried out
village seva activities. Every month, on the 2
nd
and 4
th

Wednesdays they would conduct Study Circles and on
the 1
st
and 3
rd
Wednesdays, Laksharchana. The rice from
Laksharchana was used for Narayana Seva to residents of
about 100 hutments near Chowdaiah Hall.
The Balvikas, which was started along with Mahila
Vibhag was inaugurated by Late Sri G. P. Rajaratnam on
5
th
May, 1970. He was also conducting Balvikas classes,
which at that time were attended by 150 children.
Also, Malleswaram was the frst Samithi to adopt a village.
In 1981, the Samithi adopted the village Chokkanahalli in
Jakkur Panchayat. For ten years, service activities were
performed in the village under the convenorship of Sri P.
V. Shankar. Volunteers from Malleswaram, Vyalikaval and
Rajajinagar were regularly visiting the village for seva. The
the Bhajans. Every Sunday there is Nagar Sankeertan. Talks
by eminent persons are arranged regularly. Other regular
spiritual activities include house bhajans, satsang and study
circle.
The Service Wing is actively pursuing regular seva
activities. Till a few years back the Samithi had more than
sixty sevadal members in its rolls who were regularly
performing seva at Brindavan and the Super Speciality
Hospital. Currently the numbers have come down, but efforts
are being made to enroll more members. The Samithi level
service activities include Narayana seva with distribution of
fruits, biscuits and vibhuthi packets to all the patients in the
wards every second Saturday at the K.C. General Hospital;
Narayana seva with distribution of milk and biscuits to
children in the Government Middle School, Malleswaram
every Saturday; distribution of cooking oil and pulses every
month to the hostel in the Shastri School of Deaf and Dumb
in Mahalakshmi Layout ; and National Narayana Seva
involving distribution of rice and tur dal to 70 households in
a labour colony in Vyalikaval every month. Besides, on third
Sunday of every month Narayana Seva is carried out from
the Sai Narayana Kendra wherein cooked food is distributed
to about 400 Narayanas in slums and hutments around
Malleswaram and nearby localities. This Narayana Seva
is also carried out on all special occasions including
Bhagawans Birthday and during Navarathri.
Another highly significant service activity is the
Muddenahalli Medical Camp. The Seva Centre under the
umbrella of Malleswaram Samithi has been conducting free
medical camps for the rural population around Bangalore
for the last 15 years. The camps were started under the
guidance of Dr. D. C. Sundaresh. Initially, the camps were
conducted in different villages frst near Hesarghatta, then
at Kanaswadi near Madure and then in an interior village of
Kunigal Taluk. Thereafter for logistic reasons, the camps
were shifted to Muddenahalli and is conducted with the help
of totally dedicated members of the staff and students of
Sri Sathya Sai Lok Seva Trust. Volunteers from Malleswaram
and nearby areas offer their services regularly. Medical,
Paramedical and Technical staff from MS Ramaiah
Institutions provide the main professional medical help.
Other medical professionals also regularly volunteer. All
broad specialties are covered in the camp.
Over a ten year period, the number of patients attending
the medical camp has jumped from 250 to 2500 and
sometimes 3000. The camp is held on the 4
th
Sunday of
every month. It is a sight to see patients from villages around
a radius of 60 kms from Muddenahalli, start assembling at
Muddenahalli right from early morning on the camp day.
Medicines are prescribed and dispensed for needy patients.
Patients needing further investigations or treatment are
brought to M. S. Ramaiah Hospital the following Sunday,
for treatment including surgeries free of cost. Besides the
monthly camp, clinics for diabetes and hypertension is
conducted on the other Sundays of the month. Also dental
camps are conducted on all Saturdays and Sundays with the
help of dentists drawn from MS Ramaiah College and other
volunteer dental surgeons. Counseling is done regarding
xiv xiii
health awareness, both at the camp and the clinics and also
in the surrounding villages. The yeomen service rendered by
the MS Ramaiah Institutions and their staff for the successful
running of the medical camp and the clinics is very much
appreciated and the Samithi is grateful to them.
The Educational wing of the Samithi with the help of
dedicated Mahila devotees conducts Balvikas classes in eight
residential units for about 150 children. Classes are also
conducted in selected schools where this is considered as a
part of the curriculum. The schools covered are Government
Lower Primary School, Sri Vidya Mandir School, B.E.S.
School, M.L.A. School and Malleswaram Shishu Vihar.
A total of about 2300 children attend these Balvikas classes.
30 Balvikas teachers are involved in this. Plans are on to
enroll more teachers, train them and expand the Balvikas
activities.
While celebrating the golden Jubilee, it is our bounden
duty to recall those who laid the foundation and nurtured the
Samithi over the years. Many of them are no more with us.
Dr. D. S. Chander and Smt Rathna Chander were the chosen
devotees to whom Bhagawan handed over the photos and
asked them to start the Bhajan Mandali. The late Dr. Chander,
we understand, was a devotee par excellence, full of humility,
love and generous to the core. The family nurtured the centre
frst and then the mantle was carried on with involvement
and assistance from their son Dr Sundaresh and his wife
Late Smt Rupa Sundaresh. Smt Rupa Sundaresh was totally
devoted to Sai activities and strengthened the Education
wing and the Mahila Wing and was always available for any
help. Her untimely death was a great loss to the Samithi.
Dr Sundaresh, inspite of his professional commitments, is
always available to the Samithi for advice and assistance.
Some other devotees who were active in the early years of
the Samithi were Sri G.P. Rajaratnam, Sri B. Sundar Rao,
Sri Narasimha Murthy, Sri Ramaswamy, Sri Ramanathan,
Sri Circle Subramanian, Sri Appi Reddy and Sri Prabhu. Sri
Lakshman Rao served as Convenor for a long period, was
very active and the Samithi shifted to its present building
during his tenure. Sri C.R. Krishnaswamy was another active
worker who was the Spiritual Coordinator for many years and
also offciated as Convenor for some time. Sri B.R. Prahalad
was a soft spoken methodical worker, whose designs and
advice on lighting, mike sytems etc is still followed in the
Samithi. Sri A. Sivarama Shastri was performing puja in the
Samithi from the very beginning on every bhajan day, till his
passing away in 1982. His son Sri Subramanya Shastri is
continuing the tradition, performing pujas meticulously every
Thursday and on other special occasions. Sri Vankataraman,
former Brindavan Sevadal Coordinator along with his sons
Sri Viswanath and Sri Hariharan were active members of
the Samithi for some time. Karnataka State President Sri
Nagesh Dhakappa was Malleswaram Samithi member when
he moved to Bangalore and was staying in Vyalikaval.
Among ot her Mahi l a devot ees were Smt .
Venkatalakshamma, who was District Education Offcer
and Headmistress of Government Girls School, Smt
Ranganayakamma, Smt Sharadamma, Smt. Malathi Murthy,
xv xvi
Smt. Manohara, Smt. Ambu Bhai and Smt. Rukmaniamma.
Smt Lakshmi Nagaraj, who is currently the Zonal Education
Coordinator for Bangalore Districts, has been associated with
the Samithi almost since its inception and has over the years
rendered valuable service to build up the Mahila wing and
the Education wing.
The Samithi has always received valuable guidance and
help from the State President and the District Presidents of the
Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organiations. Sri Nagesh G. Dhakappa,
the State President has always been giving us valuable
advice on all our activities and he is readily available for
any help that we seek. Prior to the recent reorganization of
the Bangalore Urban District, the District President Sri N.S.
Nagaiah was constantly following up the activities of the
Samithi and gave valuable suggestions from time to time to
improve the quality of activities. Late Dr. Padmanabhan also
used to show concern and care for the Samithi and always
appreciated the activities carried on in the Samithi. In the
reorganized setup, Malleswaram Samithi is included in
the Bangalore Central District. The District President Sri
N. R. Dwarakanadh and other offce bearers are in constant
touch with us extending all help to our activities.
The Divine presence has been witnessed many times
in the Malleswaram Samithi over the years. The Samithi
was blessed with vibhuthi prasadam on the photographs of
Bhagawan fve years back. For almost one year the vibhuthi
was materializing and the same was distributed to all the
devotees in the Samithi and also to many others in Bangalore.
Earlier in 1998 also, the photos in the Samithi were Blessed
with vibhuthi prasadam. Many times, the brass bells hanging
on the Mantapam wherein Bhagawans photos are displayed,
start swaying as the Arathi is going on, signifying Divine
presense. Many devotees have testifed to their prayers
being answered when they pray at the Samithi and apply the
vibhuthi prasadam obtained from our Shastriji. During Global
Akhanda Bhajan 2011, while the former Vice Chancellor of
Sri Sathya Sai Universirty, Sri Anil Gokak was performing
the Mahamangalarathi, he had a clear vision of Bhagawan
sitting on the Chair!
The Malleswaram Samithi is currently located in the
spacious basement of the house of Late Sri Surya Rao.
Shifting of the Samithi to this place from the Sri Vidya mandir
School, sixteen years back, also happened only by Bhagawans
Blessings and directions. Bhagawan appeared in the dream of
Smt. Surya Rao and told her that the Malleswaram Samithi
needs a place for their weekly bhajans. She mentioned this to
Sri Surya Rao, who had at that point of time no idea about the
Malleswaram Samithi. After enquiring from people around,
Sri Surya Rao located the Samithi and happened to be present
there on a Thursday, which was the weekly Bhajan day. The
next week, the school building was being demolished for a
new modern construction. The offce bearers of the Samithi
were discussing as to where the next weeks bhajans are to
be held. Sri Surya Rao heard that, realized that Swami had
sent him to the Samithi at the right time and at once offered
the basement of his house. Since then, the Samithi has been
carrying out its activities unhindered. We are thankful to
xviii xvii
the family of Sri Surya Rao for their generous gesture in
providing accommodation to the Samithi.
We are also thankful to the managements of Sri Vidya
Mandir, BPL School, Government Boys School and others
who provided space for the Samithi at different periods.
We are specially thankful to Smt. Leela Narayanaswamy,
Principal of Sri Vidya Mandir, who has always readily come
to the help of the Samithi whenever approached.
Though the Malleswaram Samithi has continued to
perform all its activities over the years without a break, the
absence of its own building is a valid concern. Though it
is the oldest Samithi, earlier attempts to fnd a place of its
own could not fructify. Probably that was Bhagawans will!
Anyhow, for the future we have to be on the look out and
pray to Bhagawan to help us fnd a permanent place for the
Samithi.
Whenever the Samithi faced any problem the offce
bearers would pray to Bhagawan and sometimes rush to
Prashanthi Nilayam or Brindavan to hand over a letter to
Bhagawan. Bhagawan always greeted us with His ever
sweet loving smile and extending his palm would collect the
letter. Immediately we will have a sense of relief and truly the
problem will pass over. Yes, we cannot expect this any more.
But, our faith in Bhagawan is strong. We know that He is
omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. He is always with
us. He will continue to guide us and help us. The devotees of
Malleswaram Samithi seek Bhagawans Blessings and Grace
to help us continue our activities with greater commitment
and love and march on towards the next landmark.

BHAGAWAN, MY SAVIOUR
Bama Chandrasekar
My humble pranams at the lotus feet of Bhagavan Sri
Sathya Sai Baba varu. I seek and pray for His grace to help
me share some of my experiences.
Sai Mas love made me understand Ananya bhakthi
and made me realize that I am part of the Divine Self and
I have surrendered myself with unconditional love to His
divine form
I love singing bhajans on the glory of my beloved Baba
for ever. My knowledge of Telugu helped me to understand
His discourses and also realize the divinity.
I had a chance to attend the 60
th
Mahasamadhi functions
of Shirdi Sai Baba at Shirdi and this helped me to come to
Babas fold.
Later in 1980, while on a journey to Bangalore I met a
Sai devotee proceeding to Puttaparthi for Gurupoornima.
He used to translate Sanathana Sarathi magazine into Sindhi
language. He told me that Sri Sathya Sai Baba was Shirdi
Sais Avatar. He gifted me with one years subscription of
Sanathana Sarathi. The frst issue carried Swamis picture
and that attracted me like a magnet to Swami.
When I was in Bangalore in 1983, I visited Brindavan
with prayers and tears in my eyes longing to have His darshan.
To my surprise I was made to sit in the front line under the
tree. Bhajans were going on and then Swami made His
appearance. I was thrilled to see Him. I felt shaken when
He came near me, looked at me deeply and created vibhuthi
for me. I was extremely happy but still I had not realized
He was God.
He called me with other devotees for interview. I went
in and sat next to his foot-rest and in a childish way I said
that I was very happy to see Him. He said in Telugu that He
was also very happy to meet me. I was emotional and started
crying. He consoled me and answered my personal questions.
He placed His divine hand on my head saying that He would
look after me. Till to day, he has been with me and I still feel
He is with me and responds to my prayers.
Later, I was blessed by Swami to get introduced to an
elder sister (Mrs. Leela Singh), a staunch Sai devotee, from
Bombay. In her company I became familiar with Puttaparthi
ashram, bhajans and service activities. She was close to Baba
and a lot of miracles used to happen at her home. She had
more than 50 swayamboo idols of different deities. Kumkum,
chandan, honey and vibhoothi used to materialize all the time.
With Swamis permission, she gave me the idols of Shirdi Sai
Baba, Shiva Shakthi Baba, Lakshmi and Narayana. Whenever
Leela singh visited us at Bangalore, my mother used to enjoy
the experiences of all the miracles. I was happy to receive a
pair of silver Padukas got ready by her Indonesian friend for
Swamis 60
th
Birthday. Swami blessed these Padukas three
times by standing on them during darshan.
4 5 BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET
I joined Malleswaram Samithi in 1988 and used to
take part in bhajans and service activities. Subsequently I
joined the bhajan group as a trainee and the service group at
Brindavan. I used to go to Parthi for service activities. It was
a wonderful experience to work for a week with many other
volunteers from different states. As Swami used to say, that
was Vasudaiva kutumbaka One Family.
As a bhajan trainee under the leadership of Mrs. Prabha
Sreedharan, I attended all the seminars as well as the 24
hour Akhand Bhajans at Brindavan and Malleswaram. On
several occasions I was fortunate to receive Pada namaskar
and vibhoothi. At times He used to receive my letters. On
special occasions, He came near us and fung sweets around
and blessed us with akshatha or created vibhoothi. He used
to look deeply at me with a smile and ask questions or say
in Telugu manchidi i.e. good. I had no occasion to return
disappointed and this helped to boost my morale. Being close
to the Lord, I felt energized with memorable experiences.
His powerful aura presented a wonderful sight to
remember. Some times we could experience the fragrance
of chandan and vibhoothi pervading the atmosphere. These
are deeply imprinted in my memory.
After I was selected as a Brindavan singer in 1994, my
sincerity and commitment to the bhajan group intensifed.
Our group enjoyed the Lords close proximity. He used to call
us for interview and with His own hands distributed sarees,
vibhoothi and blessed us with padanamaskar. He also used
to answer our personal questions. We visited Puttaparthy
quite often and enjoyed singing in front of Him, looking at
Him (Prathyaksha Deivam) with devotion. We were lucky to
be favoured with six interview sessions by Swami. Looking
at him on the dais and singing with devotion was indeed
a great fortune which even the saints of the past had been
yearning for.
In 1998, I visited Puttaparthi to attend Ladies Day and
after the morning session I was to leave for Bangalore so as
to prepare for an important function at home the next day.
It started to rain very heavily. I had to collect my luggage
from the west block near the foreigners canteen and go to
the bus stand. As I neared the Ganesh gate, I realized that
I had not taken my hand bag and rushed back. By the time
I reached the bus stand, the bus was leaving. I was there
standing in the rain, seeking some help to follow the bus.
Just then a Tata Sumo with white upholstery and a driver
wearing a white uniform came near me and offered to help.
I got into the car. It was almost fying and in a few minutes
we reached the bus. I tried to tip the driver but he refused. I
got into the bus and turned towards the car to thank him but
could not see either the car or the driver. I closed my eyes to
thank Swami and saw Him smiling as if to say, good, you
did not miss the bus.
The same year I was blessed by Swami to go to
Kodaikanal for a week with a Sai devotee with whom I used
to stay often in the Ashram. We followed Swamis car from
Bangalore with His permission and reached Kodaikanal at
4 p.m. Swami was at Sai Smruthi and came out to give
darshan. He was there for 30 minutes. There were only
20 people. It was a fantastic darshan and an American put it
aptly when she called it a million dollar darshan.
After coming to Bangalore I wished to have a silver
Paduka blessed by Swami. I was sitting for darshan and
praying for Swami to bless the Paduka. Seeing my plight
and eagerness, He came fast and stared at me before standing
on the Paduka. Chanting Manasa Bhajare gurucharanam,
I took padanamaskar. At least on three occasions, He has
blessed the padukas by standing on them. I had the habit of
flling my hands with water and drinking it touching swamis
sacred feet. It is papa vimochanam, purifcation.
The greatest miracle was Swamis gift of punarjanma
for me. In June 2001, I went to the US. In August, I was
diagnosed with colon cancer. I was agonized and then on
September 11 when I was due to return to India, the terrible
9/11 tragedy overtook the USA. I fnally reached Bangalore
Later that month. I visited Puttaparthi to seek Swamis
blessings for undergoing the operation. He took my letter
and advised me to have surgery. He also stared at me in a
mysterious manner saying something to me which I could
not comprehend. He looked at me for almost two minutes
as if to suggest He was stopping the cancer from spreading.
Again after two days, I happened to see Swami along with
the bhajan group. He then created a cream coloured vibhoothi
and again told me to get operated.
On the 1
st
October 2001 I was operated upon and the
surgery went on for about three hours. After 10 days I was
operated again to reverse a temporary drainage. The next
morning, I was battling for life and it seemed that all was
over. The doctors were extremely cautious in telling us about
recovery chances. I was told that my heart beat had stopped
and they had to revive it. The doctors said they saw a green
light. Swami had given me a new life. Slowly health started
to return to me. Doctors were convinced that this was a
miracle and that only a Superior power (Swami to me) had
rescued me.
Ten years have passed since the surgeries and I have been
cancer free, enjoying the punarjanma that He has given me.
On my 70
th
birthday, He came close to me, looked straight
at me, blessed me with a smile and when I requested him,
raising His hand slightly, He gave me permission to do
Sathyanarayana Pooja at home.
In Kaliyuga, the totality of divine energy has taken shape
as Sri Sathya Sai Baba in human form. This is Mahashakthi
beyond comprehension. Let us all join with love and serve
in a gentle way and spread happiness singing His glory and
thus make this God-given human life blissful in this Sathya
Sai Yuga.
The joy of giving makes life blissful.

Baba
SWAMIS LOVE AND COMPASSION
Chandrashekhar Sohoni
It is always a pleasure to share experiences of our beloved
Swami with fellow devotees. I want to share two incidents
in my life which brought me closer to Swami.
My parents came to know about Swami in mid 1980s.
They started attending bhajans in Kolhapur where we were
staying then. My frst reaction to Swami was not very positive.
Though I was curious about this Godman from south India
with a halo of hair, I certainly didnt believe the miracles
attributed to Him. This continued for a few years.
In the year 1989, during my college days, I visited the
India-Nepal border town of Dharbanga in Bihar. I had gone
there with our University sports team. After the sports meet
was over, our team decided to visit Nepal. The obvious
attraction behind this visit was the possible opportunity to
purchase electronic trinkets which were diffcult to get in
India those days. We went to Janakpur town in Nepal, very
close to India border. We did some shopping with the limited
money that we had as students.
We were returning by an evening train and it was full.
Being over-zealous youth, we decided to make the journey on
top of the train along with some locals. I must admit that my
frst and last journey on top of the train was very memorable
for more than one reason.
After the journey atop the train, we reached India. While
8 BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET
days, the swelling did not subside and I revisited the doctor.
He advised me to take an X-ray. There was clearly a fractured
wrist bone which was visible. Even my doctor was surprised
that I did not have any pain in spite of the bone fracture. Then
I remembered my prayer to Swami for No Pain and that
was exactly the relief I got! Even with a wrist fracture, I had
experienced no pain due to just a small tablet offered to me
by an unknown person! There was surely Swamis Divine
hand behind my painless hand!
My hand was put in a cast for 21 days and eventually the
fracture healed. After this incident I rarely prayed to Swami
for any personal favours until another cause for concern
came up.
The second incident happened just after my daughters
birth in Pune in 2002. We were very happy to be blessed
with a baby daughter just a couple of years after our sons
birth. The bad news came fve days after her birth, when
the pediatrician suspected murmurs in her heart. Carefully
holding our fve days old daughter, we went for an echo scan
of her heart. The doctor confrmed presence of two holes
in her heart. Our family was in deep shock on hearing this
news.
Luckily for me, I had done seva in Swamis Super
Specialty Hospital a few months before this incident. And
that is how I became aware of what are called as blue
babies. I was posted in the CCU area for one week duty in
our hospital. I had seen really serious cases of children with
getting down, I was holding on to a wooden plank above
the window. Probably due to my weight, the wooden plank
broke off. I fell down on the hard platform with a thud. I had
extended the right hand to avoid landing on my head. When I
got up, there was extreme pain in my right wrist. As our return
journey was already booked, we could not stop there and visit
a doctor. I did not want to hold back the entire team.
With a lot of pain in my wrist, we boarded a bus to Patna
from where we had onward train bookings. As the night
progressed, my pain started to increase. I was getting nervous
about the three day long journey ahead of me. With a sudden
fash of thought, Swami prompted me to pray to Him. I prayed
to Swami to relieve me of my pain. Within a few minutes
the bus halted at a stop. A man climbed up the bus with a
briefcase marked with a Red-Cross sign. He sat diagonally
across my seat. I thought he would be a doctor. I mentioned
to him about the severe pain in my wrist. He gave me a
tablet to swallow and advised me to visit a doctor in Patna
the next day. The tablet must have been a pain killer. The
pain subsided and I slept well. When we reached Patna the
next day, there was no time to visit a doctor, as our train was
due to depart immediately. I reached Kolhapur without any
further pain in my wrist.
On reaching Kolhapur I showed my swollen hand to the
family doctor. He pressed a bit hard on the swollen wrist to
check the pain level. There was no pain. He thought it could
be a muscle twist and he did not advice any medicine or an
X-ray. I continued my normal college work. Even after three
a hole in the heart.
Our daughter did have all these symptoms of a blue
baby, though I felt they were not very severe. She would
have diffculty in crying and would cry with a very feeble
voice. We wished that she could cry aloud like other normal
babies.
The doctors in Pune advised my wife to take our daughter
to Madras Mission hospital in Chennai. I was in two minds
whether to take her to Chennai or to our Super Specialty
Hospital in Bangalore. I was under the wrong impression that
if one could afford a treatment outside, one should not use
Swamis hospital as otherwise it might deprive the chance
of treatment to deserving poor patients. Later in one of the
discourses I heard Swami clearly saying that His hospitals
are not only for the poorest of the poor but for every one. I
didnt know this background then.
We decided to take our daughter to Chennai. My wife
arrived at Bangalore airport with our 21 day old daughter.
We went straight to Brindavan Ashram in Whitefeld from
the airport. Swami was in Puttaparthy at that time. We just
placed our daughter in front of Swamis Bangalore residence
Thrayee Brindavan and prayed for her well-being. We went
to Chennai immediately afterwards. Our Chennai Hospital
experience wasnt pleasant at all. We spent almost the
whole day just to visit a cardiologist after an echo scan.
The radiologist advised us to revisit after six months for a
re-check up. She said that we would eventually need to get
the operation done when our child would reach seven years
of age.
After my Chennai hospital experience I felt that I should
have visited Super Specialty Hospital instead, where the care
is far superior and the attitude is much more caring.
Next few months were diffcult. We were giving a lot of
attention even to the smallest of health problems that affected
our daughter. We wished that she should cry loud like a
normal baby and probably prayed for it too. Our pediatrician
in Bangalore advised us to visit pediatric cardialogist
Dr. Sathyanarayana Rao in Malleswaram. When I visited
his clinic I was very happy to see a wall clock with Swamis
photo on it. The doctor had recently attended a seminar at the
Super Specialty Hospital and that is where he had received
the wall clock as a memento. The photo was reassuring to
us. We continued to visit him a few times during the next
few months.
During this time I opted for my sevadal duty at the
Super Specialty Hospital. During one of the lunch breaks I
showed my daughters papers to Dr. Dash who was the Head
Cardiologist. He looked at the papers and was surprised to
see that we had done three echo scans of her within few
months since birth. Seeing that I was a Sevadal member, the
only thing he recommended was praying to Swami. That of
course we did.
During the next echo scan of our daughter after a few
months, we were very pleasantly surprised to know that
both the holes in her heart had completely closed without
any operation. The doctor congratulated us and instructed
us to treat her like a perfect normal child thereafter. He even
wrote on the case paper no need for further visit unless some
symptoms are seen. We were really relieved and her heart
is perfect since then.
What happened after this is interesting. Our daughter
cried a lot and that too, very loud for next few years. It was
as if our prayers for a healthy cry were being answered.
That has surely taught me to be careful before demanding
anything from Swami!
With humble pranam at the Lotus Feet, I hope and pray
that small incidents in my life remind you all of similar
experiences of our beloved Lord in your lives. May He
guide and protect us in every step of this wonderful journey
called life.
Troubles and travails are to be treated as friends.

It is best to regard both happiness and misery
as gifts of God ; that is the easiest path for
ones own liberation.

MY SAI EXPERIENCES
Dinakar D. Madiman
My father frst introduced me to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba
way back in 1950s in Dharwad, through a magazine called
Sai Sudha published from Madras (now Chennai). After
reading the various articles in that magazine, I instantly
accepted Him as my God. I have still got the 1947 issue
of SAI SUDHA in my collection. I present here my most
important experiences.
My frst experience
In 1961-62 I had to appear for my fnal year B.E. in
Electrical Engineering and was very eager to seek Babas
blessings, to come out with fying colours in my exams. But
I did not know how to go about it other than to mentally pray
to Shirdi Sai Baba.
At that time I was unaware of the Sathya Sai Avathar! But
during vacation I had an opportunity to visit Madras where
my eldest brother was staying. I had heard about a Sri Shirdi
Sai mandir in Mylapore; I urged my brother to take me to that
temple on a Thursday evening. He agreed and also presented
me with a new imported Pilot pen, especially for my ensuing
exams. We went to the mandir and at the altar I saw a life
size white marble statue of my beloved Sai. I placed my Pilot
pen at His lotus feet for His blessings, while the archak of
the mandir was doing the pooja and arathi.
After I successfully passed my B.E. exam, I again went
to the Shirdi Sai Mandir in Madras along with my brother
with a feeling of gratitude. Surprisingly, I could not see the
white marble idol of our Sai, instead there was a large photo;
after arathi and prasad, I enquired with the archak about the
marble idol which I saw when I had visited the previous year.
He was astonished and told me that there was no idol at all
but there was only a proposal to install a statue similar to the
one at Shirdi! My brother and others there also confrmed
this. I got the Shirdi Darshan in Madras!! Yes, Shirdi Sai
Baba blessed me with Shirdi Darshan at Madras. Needless
to say, when I visited Shirdi in 1979, I saw the same idol of
my beloved Baba which I had seen in Madras.
My second experience
After my graduation in engineering we all shifted from
Dharwad to Bangalore in 1963. I applied for various jobs and
attended some interviews too, without any positive results.
I proceeded to Puttaparthi to get Bhagawans Darshan and
Blessings. I reached very late and the evening Darshan
was over. I could get some accommodation in Prashanthi
East very close to the present Sai Kulawant Hall. I was just
staring at Swamis balcony, cursing my bad luck for missing
the evening Darshan. Lo, and behold! He heard it! Swami
came out at the balcony for about a minute, and looked at
me smilingly!
Next day after the morning Darshan, Swami was going
towards Poornachandra hall. He was walking so fast that
Shri Kasturiji and Dr. Bhagavantham and other devotees
were practically running behind Him. As I was not familiar
with Sevadal restrictions and was not also aware of any
Sevadals presence, I ventured to intercept Swami as He was
coming towards me. Swami paused briefy, patted me on my
chest and said something in Telugu and left. Later on, some
devotees who heard Him, told me the meaning, your wish
is fulflled.
In those days we were not supposed to leave Puttaparthi
without Swamis permission! At the earliest opportunity I
wanted to seek Swamis permission to leave for Bangalore,
but I could not. Next day was Gurupoornima and I decided
to stay back. After the function Swami Himself was giving
thirtham, held by Dr. Bhagavantham in a silver vessel, by
a large silver spoon. When my turn came Swami lovingly
gave me that sweet fragrant thirtham (actually Amrutham,
I should say), the taste of which I can not forget even till
date. I was also stunned to observe that the silver vessel was
fully brimming with the nectarine thirtham even after more
than two hundred devotees had received it! The fragrance
lingered on my right palm for several days! After this I got
an opportunity to take Swamis permission to leave. Swami
wished me in Kannada, Thumbaa santhosha, hogi baa
(very happy, you may leave).
I returned to Bangalore flled with bliss. My appointment
order from DRDO was waiting for me on my table.
My third experience
After returning from Shirdi, I went to Brindavan, in
Kadugodi, for the Divine Darshan. Immediately after the
entrance of Brindavan there was a fairly large tree under
which devotees were sitting. I sat at the far end of the gents
side only to fnd that the Darshan had been almost over and
Swami was leaving for the Mandir. I started weeping and
castigated myself for being late. I prayed to Him at least to
turn his vision on me once. Believe me, Swami did a U-turn
and looking straight into my eyes, started walking towards
me! He stood on my right side and placed His Divine hand
on my head while I managed to take Padanamaskar of his
right charan as His left charan was covered by Swamis dress.
Swami then walked further behind me for the beneft of the
late comers. He again returned and stood near me talking to
a Malaysian devotee sitting in front of me and asked him to
go for the interview, while I could take Padanamaskar again,
this time, of the left charan as the right charan was covered
by His dress.
My fourth experience
After taking voluntary retirement from Central
Government service I had started making musical dancing
fountains of my own design. One early morning in 1996 I
was surprised to receive a call from Puttaparthi enquiring
about a fountain to be installed there. I readily agreed to the
project under one condition that the whole fountain will be
installed free of cost. They did not agree. Finally we came
to an understanding that the materials would be supplied to
us as required and our services would be free.
I and my three colleagues went to Puttaparthi along with
a gentleman connected with this project and we were asked
to sit in the Darshan lines in Sai Kulwant Hall. At about 3
pm Swami came very close to me and, as he was adjusting
my scattered hair on my head with his fngers, like a comb,
He asked the gentleman who brought us there Kitney log
hai? and asked him to make us seated near the entrance of
the interview room. We were the frst to enter the interview
room and I was asked to sit very close to Swamis chair. As
Swami came and sat in His chair many ladies started coming
inside and slowly I had to continue sliding backward and as
the room was full I got very close to the wall behind me. As
all of us were intently looking at Swami, He got up from the
chair and started walking towards me! He came so close to
me, I had to lean on my left to make way for Him. I could
not guess that Swami wanted to switch on the fan and the
switch was right above my head! As he was switching on
the fan He looked at me saying, What man? and smiled.
Then He started enquiring Inkemi samacharamu? turning
to the entire gathering in the room. Swami then asked a lady
to remove her ring and give it to Him, advising her not to
wear an oversized ring with thread. He passed the ring to all
of us to see telling that the ring was very old and lusterless
and that he would make it new one and to a correct size.
He blew on the ring three times and lo, there manifested
a sparkling new ring which He passed on to all of us to see.
The ring ftted exactly to the ladys fnger.
For me, this was an opportunity to get a glimpse of
Swamis Omnipotence !
All of a sudden Swami started to sing a bhajan Paayojee
Maine Rama Rathana Dhana Payo, which was my favourite
bhajan and I often used to listen to it on my walkman tape
recorder. Swami sang the full bhajan looking at me now and
then from the corner of His eyes! After the bhajan, Swami
gave a small discourse on spirituality and then got up from the
chair asking All fountain people go inside the ante-room.
Inside also I was asked to sit near Swamis feet. Then
Swami asked me in Kannada, hesaru Enu? (What is your
name?). I mentioned my name Dinakar. Before I completed,
Swami interjected, Dinesh endu karee bahuda? (Can I
call you Dinesh?). Actually in my school days in Dharwar, I
was known as Dinesh. Even today my school mates call me
Dinesh. This gave some idea of Swamis omniscience!
The gentleman asked me to explain the details of the
fountain to Swami. But Swami said, Nanagey fountain yenu
gothu, Bhaktharige fountain bekanthey, neenu hyage beko
hagey maadu (I do not know about fountains, devotees want
a fountain, you make one as you like). Was this not a lesson
in ego effacement and humility for me!
After that we all got into the bigger room where other
devotees were present. Swami was freely mingling with all,
talking with them and distributing vibhuthi packets from a
plastic basket. When He came near me to give me vibhuthi
packet, He mentioned that the Kriya Yoga practice (Kriyaban
deeksha given by Paramahama Yogananda through Yogada
Satsang Society of India) that I was doing was rather fast.
He told me that to be effective I must do it slowly with full
awareness!
Our Swamis omnipresence was evident in the activity
I was engaged in!
On Vijaya Dashami day the fountain was inaugurated
and Swami called all the fountain crew to His Mandir hall
and gave every one a set of clothes; while all others were
given coloured clothes, I was given a white set of clothes
and some cash which Swami inserted in my shirt pocket,
patting me on my back. Many told me later that by giving
white clothes Swami hinted to me to join Sevadal. Within
a couple of months I joined Sevadal. I strongly feel that it
was Swamis love and concern that shaped me into a useful
Sevadal member, thus paving my upward path of spiritual
progress.
What is most important is seeing God in everyone,

loving God in everyone and serving God in everyone.

EXPERIENCES WITH BHAGAVAN
SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
Gurudatha Rao Karnad
When we settled down in Barrackpore, West Bengal in
1956, my wife Prema Karnads maternal grand father gifted
us framed pictures of Sri Ganesha, Srimath Anandashram
Swamiji and a fakir ( Shirdi Sai Baba, as we realised after
12 years) for daily worship. He blessed us by saying, Being
a retired person, this is all and the only gift I am able to
give. Now we realize the real merit of that invaluable gift
we inherited.
In 1965, for the frst time I saw Sri Sathya Sai Babas
picture and vibhoothi, kunkum, chandan, amrutha and
karpoora thirtha forming continuously on it. Ordinary water
kept at altar used to transform into karpura thirtha. Mere
curiosity made me purchase two small pictures of Sai Baba,
Sathyam Shivam Sundaram Vol.1 and fve Vahinis. While
reading these books, I was deeply moved and developed a
keen desire to seek Babas darshan and avail His blessings.
As if my prayers were answered, within fve months I had to
change my job and came to Bangalore from Baroda.
As I was seeking a suitable alternative placement, I
could visit Puttaparthi and avail Sai Babas darshan and
padanamaskar only in 1966. He was gracious to bless by
writing With blessings, Baba on my Sathya Sai Speaks,
Volume V. He did not speak to me. In a dream I had that
day, a fakir (resembling Shirdi Sai Baba) said, Accept me
as Guru, I will take care of you. An incandescent beam of
light emanating from His eyes reached my eyes. I prostrated
before Him and agreed with Him hesitatingly. Thereafter
I saw myself traveling by plane with a fakir accompanying
the plane in thin air. This did not bear any signifcance till
1981 when I had a rare good fortune of traveling by a plane in
which Sathya Sai Baba was also proceeding from Bangalore
to Bombay.
In December 1967, I joined VISL, at Bhadravathi,
in Karnataka, as a sales engineer. I started to take part in
Sathya Sai Seva Samithi activities and had the good fortune
of serving as a Samithi President and District President of
Shimoga Circle later. My wife started as Balvikas guru and
used to conduct classes for children at our home.
In 1968, with my wife and three daughters, I had
interview with Bhagavan at Brindavan. Baba materialized
vibhoothi and applied on our forehead. When I was about
to do pranam to Him, He kindly held me by my shoulders
and lifted me up. He assured that he will be always with us
and take care of us.
During the initial period of my service in VISL, I had
to face several problems for no fault of mine. Though
assured by seniors, relief was not forthcoming in spite of
several representations by me. I had a dream in which I saw
Sai Baba leading me by hand to the Chief Administrative
Offcer asking him to look into my case. Thereafter, when
I gave a representation, after verifying the case papers, the
Chief Administrative Offcer ordered clearance of all the
problems.
In 1969 I visited a devotees house at Sion in Mumbai,
where vibhoothi, kumkum and amruth were forming on the
photos of Swami. Water kept on the altar was transforming
into strong karpura thirtha immediately. I learnt that Sai Baba
who was at that time in Africa knocked at their door that
morning during Brahma Mahurtam, entered the house, gave
padanamaskar to the family members, blessed by showering
on them mantrakshata materialized by Him, and then walked
out and vanished into thin air. I fortunately could pick up a
few mantrakshatas. That day, my brother gifted me Sai Sath
Charita, a book on Shirdi Sai Babas divine life, message
and leelas. It mentions that Shirdi Sai Baba would reincarnate
after 8 years of His Samadhi. Thus I realised after a lapse of
12 years that the picture of a fakir I was having at home was
that of Shirdi Sai Baba.
My two daughters were fortunate to study and complete
graduation in Sri Satya Sai Arts and Science College for
women at Anantapur. They had opportunity to lead bhajans
by students in the presense of Swami at Parthi and Anantapur.
During the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Babas Birthday,
they participated in the College Students Band and Drama at
Parthi. Baba blessed them and stood for a photo with them.
During Summer Course in Ooty, they had an opportunity to
deliver a speech in Babas presence.
Devotees from Bhadravathi visited Parthi to seek
Babas approval and blessings to construct a hall for service
activities. Baba approved the measure and asked Sri Kasturi
to lay the foundation. While talking to the devotees Baba
asked me in a lighter vein, Pakoda, How are you? I said,
Swami, I am fne by your kind grace?
In 1969 during Shivaratri, Baba left His body after
lingodbhava for Lokakalyana while bhajans were in full
swing. He returned to His body after 15 minutes to the
immense relief of all the devotees. We were highly fortunate
to witness this.
During Gurupoornima the same year, my wife, three
daughters and I were blessed to receive Amritha materialized
by Baba, from His own divine hands. The bowl containing
amritha remained full till completion of distribution.
During Dashera that year, Baba appeared in my dream
as a toddler and gave Bhagavatha Vahini to read, probably
to highlight Parikshits example of a most worthy way of
utilizing ones limited life span.
On one occasion in my dream, I frst saw Baba and later
Sri Narayana with four arms, having continuous abhishekha.
A branch held by Baba sprouted and bore pink fowers! At this
stage I woke up from my dream with a japa of Gods name
on my lips. I continued this japa. During Babas darshan at
Brindavan later, I held out the japamala before Swami. He
took it, held it for a few seconds and returned it to me saying
santhosham. I could avail myself of Padanamaskar.
I had the good fortune of seeing Babas materialization
of a necklace with pendant in gold for a foreign lady and
medicinal tablets for a sick devotee in the interview room
at Brindavan. My wife and I had the good fortune of having
dinner in Swamis presence in the Maharajas Palace at
Sandur and me alone, a lunch at Trayee Brindavan.
During the silver jubilee memorial function of Sri Sathya
Sai General Hospital, Whitefeld, I had the good fortune of
participating in a drama performed by the doctors to reveal
the unseen divine role of Baba as the Doctor of the Doctors
in HIS divine mission of eliminating human sufferings. Baba
graciously agreed for a photograph with the participants and
materialized a golden chain for one of the participants. As
Baba was approaching the platform I could see a golden glow
on Babas face for a few seconds.
Once, along with another Sevadal, I was removing weeds
in Trayee garden. We were called along with a few more
Sevadal members and Brindavan singers (gents) by Baba
and were served sumptuous snacks at around 1.30 pm in the
Mandir foreground under Swamis personal supervision.
Swamis care for us was always evident. My transfer
orders to Bombay and subsequent retention at Bhadravati in
1980 was made possible thanks to Swamis grace, thus taking
care of my childrens education. Similarly earlier Swami
rescued us from the severe ailments which afficted us.
We had planned Sathyanarayana pooja on Karthik
Poornima day at home. A few days prior to this Baba appeared
in my wifes dream. When she prayed for interview, Baba
asked us to come to Puttaparthi. On Kartik Poornima day, we
had darshan of Baba at Parthi. Having reached a bit late we
missed a chance for interview. However we could send the
sweet prepared for naivedya for submission with prayers
to Baba. To our pleasant surprise, at 9 p.m, when we were
resting in the foreground of the Mandir, Baba graciously
sent Sri Padmanabha Sastry, who did some pooja and gave
the plantains as Prasad to us, without uttering a word. We
accepted the prasadam from Sai Sathyanarayana.
During 1970 during Dashera festival our entire family
was at Parthy. We were praying for an interview with Baba. I
had to report for duty at Bhadravathi next day. I had to board
the bus at 5 am next day, with no facility for reservation. This
thought was worrying me as Baba was giving me the vibhuthi
packets in the morning. When Baba was dropping packets
on to my palm, a bus ticket also came down foating. Next
morning I found a long line of persons in front of the bus.
By the time I reached the entrance of the bus, it was already
full up to the last seat. Suddenly, a young boy of sixteen with
vibhuthi on his forehead called me and vacated his seat and
made me sit there. He vanished before I could thank him for
the generous help. I could only shed tears of gratitude for the
timely help from Baba in that boys guise.
My frst visit to Shirdi was in 1972. After performing
abhishekam and Satyanarayana Puja to Sai Baba in the
Samadhi Mandir, I came to Dwarakamayi Masjid for prayers.
While coming out I heard a call from the rear. I saw a smiling
fakir wearing kafni and headgear like Sai Baba sitting cross
legged on the rock-seat. What he said I could not hear
properly. So I came out without speaking to him. After a few
minutes I felt that the person sitting there was Shirdi Baba
Himself. When I went back, there was nobody there. That
night in my dream Shirdi Baba asked me to pay fve rupees
as dakshina! Next morning I kept fve rupees as dakshina at
Babas Lotus Feet and prayed to Him to forgive me for not
recognizing Him the previous day.
Once there was severe famine in Gulbarga, Bijapur etc
and foodgrains and clothes were to be sent from Bhadravthi
and Shimoga. I accompanied Sri H.M. Shivaram for Babas
darshan at Brindavan and to seek directions. Baba was
proceeding to the pandal. Sri Shivaram could talk to Baba
and he was asked to supervise the distribution of food and
clothes in the famine stricken areas. Sri Shivaram also
got Padanamaskar. I, being a little away, could not get
Padanamaskar. Swami was proceeding towards the pandal.
I thought that probably several others much more deserving
devotees were awaiting His darshan and grace at the pandal.
To my immense surprise, joy and satisfaction, Babas head,
upto the neck, turned 180 degrees towards me with a sweet
smile and twinkle in His eyes, in appreciation. I was the only
person to experience this Darshan Bhagya.
On one occasion, I slipped in the bath room and was
falling fat on my back. My head would have banged on the
foor. Suddenly two powerful hands held me by my waist and
turned the body through 90 degrees resulting in my landing
on the foor on my left side. My left hand that touched the
foor also slipped resulting in a muscle tear. In this way
Baba saved me from a head injury. I could continue with my
sevadal duties, as the minor injury healed soon.
My nephew was a pilot in the Air Force. During an
interview Baba had graciously materialized a pendant and
asked him to wear it for his protection. In a subsequent air
accident, he had to bail out. The parachute did not open and
he was coming down fast. By Swamis grace, the parachute
opened up just a few seconds before he landed on the rocky
ground and could escape with minor injuries. In the interview
granted to me thereafter, Swami gave vibhuthi packets for
my nephew and mentioned that but for His intervention, the
fall would have been fatal.
On another occasion, Swami blessed me with His dream
presence, making me dance around Him. Perhaps in this way,
my past bad karmas got burnt off.
Couple of years back we returned from the nagarsankirtan
and were singing the usual bhajan, Subramanyam inside the
Malleswaram samithi and to our great surprise and joy we
could witness the swaying and continuous ringing of the
bells of the mantap. In this mysterious way, Baba indicated
His presence.
Many devotees have listened to countless discourses and have

read lots of books, but what is the change in you ? None at all.
You have remained where you are. If we examine further, many
seem to have gone back, rather than going forward. Hence,
devotees should strive to put into practice at least a fraction
of what they have seen and heard.
Baba
VAIDYO NARAYANO HARIHI
Hemalatha G. Kuber
In the year 1994, I had a stone in my kidney. X-ray and
scanning confrmed the presence of a stone. I was advised to
take lots of liquids so as to fush out the stone and was also
advised to take another x-ray after two months. Meanwhile
Baba arrived at Brindavan. When I got a chance, I told Swami
about my ailment. Bhagawan advised me to have myself
examined at the Super Speciality Hospital, Puttaparthi. I had
no occasion to visit Puttaparthi since Bhagawan continued
to stay at Brindavan for two months. As earlier advised by
my doctor, fresh x-ray was taken after two months and was
shown to the doctor. He was clearly amazed; the stone had
simply disappeared. He enquired whether I had any pain
when the stone came out and the doctor could not believe
when I answered in the negative. Thereafter I told the doctor
about Baba and His miracles.
On 18
th
March, 1995, there was yet again a problem
I had to face. This time it was an umbilical hernia and I was
advised not to lift anything heavy or to bend my body. I went
to Puttaparthi and I was graciously called for an interview
by Bhagawan. To me it was a red-letter-day. To be in the
immediate presence of Baba, to pour out the deepest feelings
of my heart, to bathe in the aura of His Divine Love is indeed
a rare experience.
Many devotees were present in the room and one lady
was not in a position to sit and she needed a chair. In the
presence of those devotees, Baba asked me to lift the chair
from the adjacent room by raising the curtain Himself, and
I had to carry out His Divine command. This clearly
indicated that Bhagawan had cured my ailment. Baba blessed
me profusely and gave divine assurance of His constant
presence.
Another incident happened in the middle of August 1995.
I had a high fever that did not subside even after doctors
treatment. I felt quite weak and depressed. In the second
week of September, my husband received a call from the
Bhajan group leader saying that they had decided to visit
Puttaparthi just to have a glimpse of Bhagawan. Somehow
I took courage and told my husband to join the group.
Fortune fell on the lead-singers. After waiting anxiously for
two days, Bhagawan called the singers on 16
th
September
for a coveted interview. While chatting with them Swami
commenced the topic with details of the water project and
later touched upon devotion aspect. Suddenly He stretched
His right hand, made a brief rotating movement and a small
quantity of sacred vibhuthi appeared. Everyone stretched
their hands, but Swami smilingly and lovingly glanced at
my husband and said, This vibhuthi is meant for his wife
who is unwell since last three weeks. Thus saying He took
a small paper, poured the sacred vibhuthi in it, folded it
neatly and handed that over to my husband. What a divine
compassion and love of Bhagawan it was on us ! We will
never be able to forget this incident. Thereafter Swami gave
MY EXPERIENCES WITH THE
DIVINE MASTER
Indira Krishnamurthy
God Almighty, the all-pervading source of the Universe,
who came to this earth in human form in the year 1926,
is none other than Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He is love
personifed.
Swami, being the mother of mothers, is so compassionate
and merciful towards one and all. Fortunate are those who
could experience His Darshan, Sparshan and Sambhashan.
The most deserving ones had the unique privilege of these
more often.
It was way back in 1970s that I came to know about
Swami. We were in Bangalore and our neighbour was a
devotee of Baba. They were a family of fve or six members
and all of them used to sing Sai bhajans and used to go to
Brindavan in Whitefeld. They would tell us about their own
experiences and a lot of other instances to illustrate Babas
miracles. I would listen to them interestingly but it did not
create any faith in Swami. I had to wait for His call!
We were in Bangalore from 1973 to 1978. Thereafter,
we were transferred to a remote place called Agartala, in
the North Eastern part of India. This place was unheard of,
particularly in regard to the availability of good schooling
facilities for our three children (all boys). We were in a
Padanamaskar to all the singers and while giving vibhuthi
packets, He gave extra packets to my husband saying, this
is for your wife. His generosity is as vast as the ocean.
After a fortnight or so, all the offce bearers of Bangalore
North Zone went to Puttaparthi and were lucky to be called
inside the prayer hall. At the end of His piece of advice to us,
Swami gave Padanamaskar. When He came near me, Baba
smilingly asked, Etla unnavu (how are you?). I humbly
said, Swami, your vibhuthi prasad made me ft and brought
me over here for Thy Darshan and Grace.
Bhagawan Baba is our saviour. He is always with us,
blessing and protecting. Baba has said, In this world we are
afficted with diseases, both mental and physical. The body
is stricken with diseases and the mind flled with worries.
In this state of unhappiness, turmoil and misery, there is
only one way that is to take refuge in SAI. SAI alone can
remove these diffculties and diseases and bring man health,
peace and prosperity.
When your mind is flled with noble thoughts of truth, love,

forbearance and compassion, your life will be flled
with peace and serenity.
Baba
of conveyance from Agartala to Calcutta (Kolkata) was by
air which took half an hour only. On the day of journey, we
boarded the plane and my husband asked me if I had taken
the onward journey train tickets. Confdently I put my hand
in my bag and had the shock of my life when I could not fnd
the tickets! The tickets were missing! Once, twice, thrice, a
number of times I checked but in vain! This really brought
tears in my eyes.
We landed in Calcutta and went to the guest house where
our accommodation had been reserved. My husband made a
call to his friend who was taking care of our house to check
about the missing tickets. I explained to him the place where I
had kept the tickets, in a trunk. He promised to send the tickets
through the pilot of the next fight. My husband had to go to
the airport which was 22 kms away, to collect the ticket. But
in spite of his traveling twice to the airport in the hot sun, we
could not get the tickets. I was also heart-broken.
Losing my self confdence after the two futile attempts,
my mind turned at last, towards the Saviour. As the saying
goes in Kannada, Sankata bandaga Venkataramana
meaning, we think of Venkataramana (God) only when we
are in trouble, I remembered Baba and expressed to Him in
my mind, if only you can help me to fnd the tickets, I will
believe that you are really God.
Then I thought of making a fnal attempt to search for the
tickets in my handbag by emptying the bag. I put my hand
into the bag and lo! Behold! The frst thing that I could feel
35 BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET 34 BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET
dilemma. We got an idea that my husband could write a
letter to Baba and If He accepts, we would take it as a green
signal to accompany him to Agartala. Four of them went to
Brindavan. They were fortunate in getting Babas blessings
because Baba accepted the letter. Since the children had to
write the annual examination, my husband went alone to
take charge and make arrangements to set up the family at
Agartala. He came back after a month to take us.
Swami was in Brindavan and we all went for His darshan.
Being a lover of music, I got fascinated by the bhajans. I
loved the bhajans sung in Brindavan, especially the bhajans
sung by Brig. Seshamani. I recorded the bhajans and learnt
them. There was an intense prayer and desire to become a
Brindavan singer one day.
After we went to Agartala, I started attending the
Thursday bhajans conducted mostly at the residence of the
District Magistrate Sri. Shankaranarayan and sometimes at
Maharanis house. Since I had not developed faith in Swami,
my ego would not permit me to utter the word Sai while
singing. A month or two later, swami appeared in my dream
a couple of times but still my disbelief persisted.
I did not accept Him as God till Swami gave me a test
and transformed me by performing a miracle. It was our
second year in Agartala. Like the previous year, during
summer vacation, we had planned to go to Bangalore. It was
mandatory that the train tickets should be purchased two
months in advance because of heavy rush. The only mode
by my hand, were the train tickets! My joy knew no bounds!
We could travel happily by the scheduled train and reached
Bangalore safely.
On our way back, youngest of our three sons, fell sick
with diarrhoea in Bangalore and did not recover completely
even after reaching Calcutta. We were so worried about his
condition that we forgot to check up the revised fight timings
from the airport, for the journey from Calcutta to Agartala.
When we reached the airport, we found that our fight had
already left in the morning! Indeed it was our bad luck. At
any cost, my husband had to get back to resume duty in the
offce the next morning. There were two more fights the same
day but the possibility of getting tickets within the next 15
days was totally impossible.
After our successful onward journey from Calcutta to
Bangalore, my faith in Baba had somewhat waned because
my problem had been solved! I was no exception to the play
of the monkey mind in me which was more powerful!
I started praying to Bhagawan, with the feeling of
remorse and regret for my folly. I did not realise that He is
always there, waiting to help all of us. If only we care just to
remember Him, be a devotee or a non-devotee, our worries
would be taken over by the Lord. I was ignorant, immersed in
the I, not being aware of His grace. The most benevolent
and merciful God that He is, just awaits our call! I was
praying to Him with all my heart to help us. Just then, there
was an announcement from the public address system calling,
K.V. Krishnamurthy from Bangalore, should report to the
duty offcer. When he went there, the list of passengers for
the next and last fight of the day had just arrived and to our
utter bewilderment, the frst 5 names were ours!!
Swami played His Leela again. There was some doubt
again if the fight would take off at all because of heavy
downpour at Agartala airport which had no night-landing
facility. The instructions came from Calcutta airport that it
was a special fight and it had to go! The plane fnally took
off and landed safely at Agartala and we reached home safely.
It was His Leela that He made it a special fight for us! This
Leela of Swami makes it evident that He would shower His
love and grace on anybody and everybody regardless of time
or conditions or limitations! Such is His love for the entire
humanity. This was a turning point in my life and my faith
in our beloved Swami was reinforced.
During our stay at Agartala, there were several
experiences which further reinforced my faith in Swamis
presence and grace for us. One day, when I was alone at
home, a hungry man in white clothes appeared asking for
food. With prayers to Swami I served him food and water,
after partaking which he blessed me and left. When I ran to
the window to see which way he is going, there was no trace
of him. Truly it was none other than Baba.
In another incident, while travelling to Calcutta by train
on way to Agartala we lost a piece of luggage, a gas stove.
We got back the same after three months, intact with the
packing. This was also His Leela.
After our transfer to Calcutta when I developed some
gynaecological problem, I could undergo surgery success-
fully in the Command Hospital, where no civilian could
get any kind of treatment. This was another miracle of my
Sai Ma.
After fve years posting in Calcutta, my husband got a
transfer to Bangalore. I could now fulfll my long cherished
desire to learn bhajans from Smt. Prabha Sreedharan and
Smt. Parvathi Mahadevan. Since I loved music and learnt
carnatic classical music from an early age, I could learn
many new bhajans. I joined the Malleswaram Samithi and
started singing Sai bhajans. I had to wait for four long years
to fulfll my long-cherished desire of becoming one among
the Brindavan singers.
Swami answered my prayers and I was one of the 11
singers who were inducted into the Brindavan Bhajan Group.
Besides very good bhajan training under eminent gurus,
this provided me with a number of valuable opportunities
of darshan, sparshan and sambahashan with the Divine.
Bhajan singers were also receipients of beautiful sarees from
Bhagawan many a times. We were overwhelmed by His love
for us. Once when we were entering the interview room,
Swami introduced us to the VIPs sitting in the verandah,
Mane Brindavan Singersu. meaning My Brindavan
Singers.
Swami also gave me chance to serve in the canteen
at Puttaparthi during His birthday and also in the Super
Specialty Hospitals both at Puttaparthi and in Bangalore.
I had the privilege of attending to the renowned singer,
the late Smt. M.S. Subbalakshmi, during Bhagawans 70
th

Birthday celebrations. This was all because of nothing but
His grace only.
The greatest boon that Swami gave me was the ability
to compose bhajans. One fne day in the late 90s, I started
composing bhajans. After composing 108 bhajans, I got
them recorded in a studio. I wanted to get the tape blessed by
Swami, who was then in Bangalore. I gave it to my husband
and I was very happy that Swami blessed it.
I had fve accidents within a period of three years, all
of them happened because of falling down from the scooter.
In every incident, Swamis unseen hand seemed to protect
me! How can I repay for all that He had done to me! I am
indebted to Swami for life.
Blessed are we, who came to His fold even while He was
physically present. Let us now continue to feel and enjoy
His presence from within and follow His principles of Love
and Service. I sincerely pray that I should be worthy of His
grace till the end of my life.
Master the mind, be a mastermind.

Baba
SWAMIS GRACE
Kanthi Ramamurthy
Swami always emphasized that unless He willed no one
could go to Puttaparthi or come in contact with Him. Thus,
one has to abide ones time till the call comes.
My time to hear about Bhagavan and to have His darshan
came in the year 1962. I had gone to a shop to get one of
my paintings framed. There, I saw a unique photograph of
a charming person reclining on a serpent. Out of curiosity,
I requested the shopkeeper, who that person was. He was
surprised by my question and said, Dont you know Sathya
Sai Baba He is called Bhagavan Baba of Puttaparthi. Right
now, He is in Brindavan, whitefeld.
This information and the charismatic person in the
photograph occupied my mind deeply the whole day. The
very next day when I went to the school (where I was
teaching) I mentioned this to my colleagues. One among
them, who was a devotee of Baba, promised to take me to
Brindavan. On the very next Sunday, we took the train to
Whitefeld station, got down and ran towards the gate of
Brindavan. Already many people had gathered there. We,
too, entered and sat under a tree. The Brindavan of the sixties
was quite different from the present Ashram.
We waited in silence. All eyes were focused towards
the residence of Swami. Then, He emerged a small lively
fgure clad in orange robe with a foating gait and a smiling
benedictory glance. He walked slowly, stood in front of many
devotees, gave them all padanamaskar, spoke to some and
took the fowers offered by them. Just looking at Him and
soaking in His merciful glance brought tears of joy in my
eyes. He came near us and we also took padanamaskar and
placed the jasmine fowers on His feet. He blessed me and
my friend and moved on.
Thereafter, whenever Swami was in Whitefeld, we used
to visit the Ashram on Sundays and enjoyed His darshan
and blessings. He was like a magnet and I was attracted
towards Him more and more as I listened to His innumerable
miracles. Whenever I came across any book on Baba or any
write ups on Baba in any magazine, I used to read the same
at one go.
I got the opportunity to visit Puttaparthi for the frst
time on the Gurupoornima day in 1965. I was lucky to get
the Amrutham from Swamis hand. Sri Kasturi was holding
a silver panchapatra and walking along with Swami. Baba
took a spoonful of the sacred nectar and gave to each and
every devotee seated under the trees. Wonder of wonders - the
small silver vessel was never reflled, nor did it become
empty. All the thousands of devotees got the nectarine
theertha from Swamis hand. Also, He Himself distributed
vibhuthi packets to every one.
In the early sixties, Prashanthi Nilayam lacked the
present day facilities. Devotees had to sleep in the big sheds
or outside in the open. For bathing purposes, small zinc
sheet cubicles were provided with jute cloth serving as doors.
The lack of facilities did not deter devotees from focking to
Puttaparthi for Bhagavans darshan.
Those days Swami used to regularly give discourses in
many places in Bangalore. Once, when He was delivering His
speech at the Malleswaram grounds, all our family members
went to listen to Him, except my grand mother. After hearing
the Divine speech, we returned home around 8.30 pm.
Our grand mother opened the front door as soon as we
rang the door bell. Immediately she narrated the incident
that happened in our absence. Half an hour before our return,
the calling bell had rung and on enquiry, a male voice had
said to have brought the box ordered by her son and wanted
to leave it inside. Without suspecting anything, she tried to
open the front door, but, however much she tried, the latch
wouldnt give way. She told him to come to the back door.
There again, the iron bar across the door couldnt be shaken
from the position in spite of her best efforts. Exhausted,
she told him to leave the box outside. We took out the torch
and searched outside. There was no box. Then my father
said, Amma, I had not ordered for any box, he must be a
thief come to ransack the house in our absence, as you were
alone. Only Baba has saved all of us by preventing you from
opening the doors. Swami, in His infnite mercy, saved our
grandmother and our belongings from a wily thief, when
we were all engrossed in His divine discourse. We thanked
Swami profusely.
Bhagavan Baba always stressed on the importance of
Namasmarana as a cure for all ills of life. This has come
true in my life also. Once, while I was getting down from
the train at the City station, I missed the foot hold and fell
down from a height with a thud. I cried out Baba, Baba
People came running to help me get up. By Swamis grace,
I escaped without any fracture or injury.
On another occasion, when I was visiting Chennai to
attend a wedding, I slipped and fell down with force while
coming out of the bathroom. Again uttering Babas name
saved me from a big tragedy. A slight bruise on the back was
all that I suffered. I could attend the wedding without any
one knowing about my fall.
Love all, serve all - these four little words constitute
the essence of Bhagavans teachings. He wanted us to love
every one - not only human beings, but all living things. He
wanted us to serve all in whichever way possible. By Babas
grace, I too serve in the Super Specialty Hospital and in the
General hospital whenever the opportunity arises. These
occasions make us realize that the indweller in all is the same
God and that we are fortunate to serve the needy in our own
simple modest way.
Now, we miss Swamis physical presence but I am
convinced that He is guiding and guarding us every moment
from His Maha Samadhi. Our faith must be steadfast and our
prayers must be sincere to experience His grace!
Love is God, live in love.

Baba
SCIENTISTS SEARCH FOR
DIVINITY
K.V. Krishnamurthy
As a child I was not initiated into any practice of religion
and spirituality. During the growing up phase also, I never
took any interest in religion. I did visit religious places, but
it was more of a ritual than real worship.
After joining service as a geologist dealing with earth
science, I happened to visit many places of interest, both
religious and others, and developed a keen interest to know
the historical background of each place, temple etc. My innate
inclination/quest for spirituality was very much in the dark
although I pursued my scientifc search vigorously.
During an assignment entrusted to me to search for
diamonds in the kimberlite rocks in a place called Wajrakarur,
near Uravakonda, in Ananthapur District of AndhraPradesh
during 1966, I had to stay at Uravakonda. That was where
I heard for the frst time about Bhagawan Baba. I was told
that Baba had His schooling there and also it was here that
He sat on a boulder and declared that He belongs to the
outside world and sang the frst bhajan Manasa Bhajare
Gurucharanam.
During 1973, I was posted at Bangalore and it provided
me with opportunities of visiting Brindavan for His darshan
largely provoked by curiosity. During this period Swami
provided many opportunities to have padanamaskaram which
I availed myself of without knowing the signifcance. This
continued for many years.
In 1979 I was promoted and posted to Agartala in
the North eastern part of India. There I met one Sri
Shankaranarayanan, an IAS offcer who was working as
District Magistrate of Agartala. He was a Sai devotee and
was conducting bhajans in his house regularly. He invited
me to attend the bhajans. I did not evince interest.
In those days I used to play cricket and I used to walk
towards the play ground. It so happened that one day I felt
that some one was pulling my shirt from behind and when
I turned back I did not see anyone. After a few steps it
happened again and I did not see any one. The day happened
to be Thursday. I was compelled to return and went to
Shankaranarayanans house and sat through the bhajans.
After the bhajan he asked me how I enjoyed the bhajans
and my reply was, good. This was my frst introduction and
initiation into a session of Sai movement.
During the stay in Agartala, I had to visit Bangalore
with my family on leave. It caused a tremendous tension
to us when we ran into some serious diffculties during the
onward and return journey. It was only the timely intervention
of Swami and His Grace, indeed a miracle, which made it
possible to complete the journey successfully. This brought
me to the proximity of Swami and I could feel that the gate
to Divinity had opened.
I placed Bhagavans photo prominently on my offce
table and at a prominent place at home. From this time
onwards, my attendance at bhajan sessions at Agartala
became a regular feature. Wherever I travelled in the
north-east like Silchar, Mizoram, Arunachal, Nagaland,
I attended bhajans and study circles. My further opportunities
and progress towards Swami got intensifed after I was
transferred to Kolkata in 1983 and further to Bangalore in
1985 which helped my regular visit to Parthi and Brindavan
to enjoy His darshan and sparshan.
My wife meanwhile joined the Brindavan group of singers
and she persuaded me to join sevadal. I hesitated initially, but
fnally during March 1993 I joined the sevadal.
I suffered from a complex of bureaucratic arrogance and
was looking down upon others, who were less privileged and
in the lower strata of society. Swamis transformation therapy
began to unfold for my good.
Swami assigned me the work of cleaning the drain in
front of Brindavan wearing the white uniform for some days.
I worked but hesitatingly and in the process the lesson in
moderation and humility and the true meaning of seva started
sinking into me. Yes, Swami started taming me. After a few
days, I was given the duty of standing at the gate to receive
the devotees with folded hands and later at the cloak room to
look after the articles left by the devotees. Later, I attended
to the regulation of queue system of the devotees, and this
continued for three years.
During these days I could be present at Swamis
discourses on Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatha and
Mahabharatha, Indian culture and heritage. All these brought
a sea change in me. The path to surrender became clear and
open and I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Once in May 1994, when Swami was entering Sai
Ramesh hall in the afternoon, I could see a bright crimson
aura around Him. I just could not believe it and I asked my
sevadal colleague whether he had also seen. He denied having
seen it. This experience was an introduction to me for other
experiences to follow.
On August 9th of 1994, Swami visited Sai Darshan,
where my transformation was getting triggered. Swami
after alighting from the car, came straight towards me and
stood in front of me. I sought and got consent from Him
for padanamaskar and in the process I caught hold of His
leg well. It was a total surrender by me. I experienced a
total bliss and I could feel that I was foating in the air. This
was the turning point for me. All my superiority complex
and bureaucratic arrogance vanished in the thin air and
I could feel the transformation taking shape in me. I started
seeing divinity and it was bearing fruit. I could see divinity in
every devotee and human being and extended unconditional
love to one and all.
Swami always exhorts the devotees to recognize Atma
which is not changeable and distinguish it from the body.
One day I was asked to do service at the VVIP block
by the Sevadal Coordinator. I told him, I am new to the
organization and I do not know many of the VVIPs as well
as the senior offce bearers of the organization. But he
insisted, It is the order from the highest authority and He
is none other than Swami Himself. I worked there for two
years and then Swami wanted me to regulate the queue area
of the general and VIP entry points. I am mentioning this
to highlight the point that Swami monitors the duties and
responsibilities of sevadal and their capacity.
For the 70th birth day celebrations, thousands of sevadal
from different parts of the country were on duty at Prashanthi
Nilayam. It was envisaged that during the function, at a
particular moment the lights would be switched off and
Swamis chair would have to be removed and He would sit
on the joola. The responsibility was given to me to coordinate
this activity. I was asked to nominate 10 more sevadal to
assist me, which I did.
When the signal was given by Sri Sunil Gavaskar and
Sri Kalicharan, we went to Swami and He immediately
asked us whether the Chair had to be removed. Swami knew
everything. We removed the chair and the carpet within a few
seconds before the lights came and Swami was seated on the
joola and the devotees were surprised to see Swami sitting
on the Joola within 8 seconds. A senior functionary of the
organization called me and gave me a chance to swing the
joola of Swami three times and I had the greatest pleasure
in doing this.
During the 75th birthday celebrations, I was assigned
duty at the Ganesh gate along with 32 sevadal members to
assist me. This was indeed a challenging job in which I had
to deny myself the pleasure of Swamis darshan and I told
the same to all sevadal colleagues. On the concluding day of
the function Swami came near the Ganesh gate and lowered
the glass of His car and blessed me profusely.
Swami organized Unity Cricket Cup match between an
International team led by Sri Arjuna Ranatunga of Srilanka
and the Indian Team led by Sri Sachin Tendulkar. The match
was held at the cricket ground at Puttaparthi. Swami desired
that a senior sevadal member should accompany the Sri
Lankan team from Bangalore and to look after them in all
respects at Puttaparthi. The responsibility was given to me.
Swami called the Sri Lankan team for interview more than
once. Sri Ranatunga mentioned to me that Swami asked
them whether they were being looked after well and when
he replied that a senior sevadal was looking after them well,
Swami mentioned my name and said that He had posted me
there.
While seating the devotees in the VVIP and VIP area,
Swami constantly guided me and I used to make arrangement
accordingly. Also while doing seva, there were many
experiences which revealed Swamis awareness about how
the sevadal members were handling the devotees who came
for His darshan. We used to get feedback through our leader
at that time, Dr Padmanabhan.
A devotee from Andhrapradesh had come to Brindavan
for darshan, Swami after His rounds asked Dr. Padmanabhan
to send Sri Krishnamohan Rao for interview. I was asked to
search for him and send him in. I went on calling his name
and there was no response. I informed Dr. Padmanabhan
about this and he in turn told Swami. Swami told him He is
taking tea at the tea stall outside Brindavan. I again rushed
out and started calling his name and fortunately he was there
and I told him to rush for interview. The next day when I met
him, and requested him to sit in the VIP area, he said that
when he was recognized by Swami earlier while he was
taking tea outside, where was now the necessity to sit in the
VIP block to be noticed by Swami.
I developed arthritis of the left knee resulting in severe
pain and only with great diffculty I used to go to Brindavan
for service. During darshan Swamis left foot touched and
pressed my left leg and the pain disappeared.
On another occasion during darshan I prayed to Swami
I am a sevadal wearing the scarf and I cannot touch you,
you have to come and embrace me. Swami literally walked
towards me and stood in such a way His entire robe engulfed
me. After moving some distance He turned and smiled at me
apparently conveying that He had conceded my request.
I came along with 140 devotees from Malleswaram
samithi to Brindavan for darshan of Swami. During darshan,
Swami after touching my head poured vibhuthi into my palm
and said, I am in Malleswaram, where is the necessity for
you to come to Brindavan. I learnt that the vibhuthi was
meant for all the devotees of Malleswaram and not for me
alone. Accordingly everyone shared the same.
During the lecture tours as part of Educare assignment,
I used to tell the devotees that Swami is omnipresent and is
there as well, and on several such occasions the garland fell
or slid from the photo of Swami.
On another occasion, while singing Subramanyam
bhajan in the samithi after the nagarsankirtan, I could see
Swamis eyes on the photograph moving from one side to
the other showing His omnipresence.
All the above leelas and mahimas shown by Swami
demonstrated that Swami acted as a great motivational force
and support, strengthening my devotion, showering abundant
grace on me and I owe my deepest gratitude to Him for
guiding me in the spiritual path.
Science is below the mind ; Spirituality

is beyond the mind.

DEVUDULO DEVUDU
G.U. Kuber
Prior to my marriage, I was working in Life Insurance
Corporation of India (LIC) in Mumbai. My efforts for a
transfer to Bangalore Division proved futile and by Babas
Grace only I was posted here. I was delighted by Swamis
compassion and love in permitting me and my wife Hema
to stay with my In-Laws in Brindavan from the middle of
1973 till 1977. I retired in 1994 and totally surrendered at His
Lotus Feet, doing service in Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital,
Whitefeld and in the Brindavan Bhajan Group.
In March 1993 I was feeling severely weak and
exhausted by unremitting fits of coughing. On being
examined by my doctor, it was found that there was a high
level of Esonophil counts in my blood and accordingly I was
undergoing treatment. Meanwhile we heard the welcome
news of Babas arrival at Brindavan. With a sigh of relief,
we promptly went to Whitefeld for His darshan.
Bhagawan came close to my wife Hema where she was
seated. She had a chance to speak with Him saying, my
husband is unwell, Swami. Baba graciously called her
for an interview. I also joined her. As soon as we entered
the room flled with foreign devotees, Swami materialized
vibhuthi by waving His palm and distributed to all. After
chatting for a while, Baba called me close to His side. Even
as I was wondering what may be in store for me, with all
eyes focused on Him, Bhagawan created in a fraction of a
second a diamond ring through His Divine will. The ring
was elegantly designed with a beautiful gold carving in the
shape of a lotus. I just could not believe that it could happen
to me. Bhagawan pulled my left hand and holding my ring
fnger, put it on Himself a perfect ft. Meanwhile looking
at my wife, Swami signaled to us to go to another room for
private audience.
Inside the room, before we could speak, Baba smilingly
said that we should not worry about the problems of Kuber,
which was only a high count of Esonophil and He even
prescribed the medicines. We both felt so thrilled and terribly
excited. We fell at His Lotus feet and said, Baba, You are
God. With that Divine smile on His face, He said, I am
the God of Gods (Devudulo Devudu). Yes, undoubtedly
Bhagawan is God of Gods, Sai Ishwara indeed. Let us all
pray at His Lotus Feet to shower His Grace in abundance
on all of us and make our lives more worthy and
purposeful.
Man wants the gift, not the Giver..., the created,

not the Creator..., things from the Hand, not the Hand.
EXPERIENCES IN SAI FOLD
G. Ramachandran
I share my experiences as a devotee, not in terms of
occurrence of miracles and/or of something spectacular,
but in terms of the contribution such experiences have made
to my inner development, however modest it may be.
Most of my bygone life (nearly 45 years) was spent in
New Delhi as part of the Government of Indias Ministry of
Commerce and then Agriculture. Despite the tensions and
the time constraint that are linked to occupying a senior level
bureaucrat position, I could, thanks to Swamis grace ,extract
some time and mind space to participate in Sai activities
like bhajans, almost 3 to 4 times a week. This helped me
in managing the rough and tumble of the day to day work
life.
I was fortunate that the demanding work life did not
deprive me of the glorious opportunity to be a sevadal
member of the Delhi group and participate in the annual
fortnight long seva schedule at Puttaparthi. Thanks to His
grace, I could perform sevadal duty at Parthi for nearly ten
years. Most of the time my duty point was Sai Kulwant Hall
and this resulted in intense visual and physical contact with
Swami. Each trip ending with Bhagavans padanamaskar was
a real privilege. Among the many lessons I learnt by such
participation was the overcoming of ego and humbly doing
what was assigned.
These regular trips and the unfailing darshans of Swami
gave birth to a presumption that a trip to Parthi was a matter
of right and not a privilege. With this (false) assumption
I once planned a short personal visit to Parthi. I took a train
to Dharmavaram with a plan to take a bus to Parthi from
there. Even before reaching Dharmavaram I was put off by
the news of a transport strike. I gathered that even private
transport would not be available. I got worried about reaching
Parthi and getting my presumed darshan of Swami. After
getting down at the station I walked to the bus stand to
explore the possibility of getting any mode of transportation
to take me to Parthi. I chanced upon an overcrowded station
wagon and managed to squeeze into it. Near Kothacheruvu
the wagon driver announced that he smelt the presence of
an inspecting squad and unceremoniously unloaded all the
passengers and sped-off. It was getting dark and Parthi was a
considerable distance away. Wisely or otherwise, I made bold
and started to walk. It was lonely and the road with felds on
either side presented a gloomy picture. I would have hardly
covered half a kilometer when an empty State Transport bus
came at a great speed. I did not understand then nor do so
till to day as what made the driver/conductor stop the bus,
as taking passengers was not allowed because of the strike.
On learning where I was headed, the driver/conductor asked
me to board the bus and dropped me at Parthi.
While I was relieved and thankful, my ego was humbled
by knowing that I could not take a trip to Parthi for granted.
At Parthi I got a room within the ashram. After a two day stay
I was to start my journey back to New Delhi. I was worried
about getting to Dharmavaram station as the transport strike
was still on. At the precise moment when I was handing over
my room key at the Accommodation offce another devotee
was also doing the same. A casual conversation revealed
that the devotee was returning to Karnool by car and he
graciously agreed to give me a lift to Dharmavaram, which
falls on the way. I could thus get back to New Delhi without
much trouble. While I learnt the lesson of not taking for
granted what is a privilege, I also experienced Swamis care
and concern for each of us.
Swamis vision of setting-up a Super Specialty Hospital
at Parthi with state of art technology, providing free service
to the poor provided me with a wonderful opportunity to
contribute, albeit in a small way. It is well known that Swami
had put in motion an extremely tight schedule culminating
in the inauguration on a predetermined date. As part of the
process import licenses were to be obtained for equipments
etc and other import formalities were to be complied with
according to the laws of the land. A high level distinguished
dignitary in New Delhi at that time was looking into all
such issues. I happened to be involved in ensuring that
things happened on time and for sure my contribution was
negligible. It was Swamis grace that ensured that import
licenses etc were received without any major delay or
problem, which is why it was indeed moving to experience
Swamis love and care for each one who participated in
this noble effort, when I was invited for the inauguration
! The mentioned high level distinguished dignitary had
happened to visit Parthi before the inauguration and he was
handed over an invitation card by Swami with advice to
have the card given to me (my name specifcally mentioned).
Swami knew who was doing what. I was reminded of Lord
Rama patting the squirrels for their noble contribution,
however small it might have been. For the frst time, thanks
to Swamis invitation card, I was in Parthi during Swamis
birthday, as the inauguration was slotted at that time.
I sincerely believe that it is my involvement in Sai
activities, that sustains me to keep moving ahead, whether the
body is well or ill. During the 1980s I had to deal with high
BP levels and other minor health problems which eventually
led to a coronary artery disease involving three blocks. I
was on medication for many years as advised by the cardiac
specialist in New Delhi.
Post retirement I settled down in Bangalore and around
2002, I was diagnosed with hernia. I consulted a specialist
who advised surgery but subject to clearance from a cardiac
expert, due to my long cardiac problem history. I was again
subjected to cardiac evaluation which, as before, showed
blocks. This time I was strongly advised to immediately
undergo a cardiac surgery. A date was fxed, when both the
cardiac surgery and the hernia operation would be done.
The only course of action that came to my mind was
surrendering to Swami. I sent a telegram to Swami praying
for His blessing. As it happens with a mere human mind,
I had a doubt if my telegram would receive Swamis attention
among the food of communication and had questions on
how He would give me succor at such short notice. A couple
of days before the date fxed for operation, an unknown
individual visited my brother saying he was coming from
Parthi. He gave him a vibhuthi packet with the advice that
it should be handed to me. I felt that Swami was reaching
out to me and giving me confdence and comfort. I applied
the vibhuthi and felt Swamis benign grace would carry me
successfully through the operations.
That is the way Swami has laid out and made me walk the
path of life. Pray that He continues to show me the way.
Bhajans are highly sacred. Bhajan singing makes

the heart sacred. What is important is that it should
come from the heart. Bhajan is not just thythm,
tune and beat,. You should sing Gods name with love.
You will see the manifestation of Divinity with your
physical eyes, when you sing His Glory with all love.

SHORT AND SWEET MEMORIES
OF SAI
Rama Lakshmana Rao
I had the great opportunity to listen to beloved Swamis
speeches in Malleswaram Girls School and Reading Room.
After listening to Him, my longing to see him personally
increased. After a while, in the late 70s, I got a chance to visit
Parthi with my husband, Prof. Lakshman Rao, and brothers in
a chartered bus along with few devotees and some members
of Indian Institute of Science.
We reached Parthi in the evening. We were asked to
assemble in a big hall. Swami appeared and we were all
happy to have His darshan, Suddenly Swami called my
husband by name and asked him to say a few words. We
were wondering as to how Swami knew his name. After
that Swami materialized vibhuthi and said, People say that
I hide vibhuthi in my sleeve. As a scientist what do you say?
He,then folded His sleeve.
After this incident our visit to Brindavan became
frequent, whenever Swami was there. Whenever we went
for His darshan he would bless us with padanamaskar.
At that point of time our son Ramesh, after completing
his studies in the IISC was very much inclined to go to US
for higher studies. The American Consulate was not issuing
Visas for every one. One fne morning we went to have
very little. When I offered badam milk, He said that He has
not tasted milk since His birth. We had a hearty laugh. Then
all the others had little prasadam. That was an unforgettable
evening for all of us.
Then in a few days, my husband had to leave for Pulmen,
Washington in the US as a visiting Professor. He was not
happy to go leaving Swami. Swami told him that He will be
with him always.
Swami came to Lalbagh to attend some function. I was
also there sitting with a sandal wood Ganapathi for my son.
Swami blessed the idol and enquired about my husband, How
is Lakshman Rao in Washington? I was taken aback.
By Swamis grace my husband had the opportunity to
serve the Malleswaram samithi as its Convenor for many
years. Thus we were lucky to have Swamis blessings and
guidance for quite sometime. I am ever grateful to Him.
Women are the makers of the home, the nation and the world.
You are the mothers who shape the generation. So you
must enshrine in your hearts the spiritual urge towards
light and love, wisdom and Bliss.
Baba
Swamis darshan. Swami appeared near the arch, raised His
hands in a blessing gesture and announced, Visa granted.
Only our family knew that it was meant for us. My son is
still working in the US by Swamis grace.
Swami blessed my husband with a gold ring with a
green stone and said this is for your protection. The very
next day my husband was bitten by a big dog, and that ring
saved him.
Once, in the Ashram I was standing near the Saraswathi
statue and Swami was talking to my husband. Swamy came
near me and said, You want padanamaskar? Do it any
number of times. He asked me, You want me to come
to your house, when you want me to come? Suddenly it
fashed that 31st January 1980 was my husbands birthday;
luckily it was full moon day also. We requested Swamy to
come on that day.
Swami came in His car with three students at about 6 pm
in the evening. We received him with Poorna Kumbham, and
arathi. Swami came and sat on the decorated chair. We had
a small gathering, had few bhajans. Swami went inside our
pooja room, did arathi, recited Meenakshi Ashtakam and said,
You must ring the bell of your heart, not this metal one.
Swami asked me Which God you worship? I said, All
Gods. Swami materialized a pair of small silver padukas
and said, You do abhisheka and take that thirtha every day.
He blessed my daughter Roopa with a silver coin that had
Swami on one side and OM on the other. Swami blessed my
son and others with vibhuthi.
We wanted Swami to have dinner in our house. He ate

BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET 60
SWAMI DECIDES EVERYTHING
A. Ramamurthy
I heard about Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba for the frst
time in the beginning of nineteen sixties, but at that time it
was just news to me. However, after my marriage in 1965, my
wife brought with her photographs of Baba, which occupied a
prominent place in our pooja room. Subsequently one of my
colleagues at my work place lent me a long playing record
of Babas bhajans sung in Bhagavans own voice which
interested me and drew my attention.
During the late 1970s I took up a job in Chandigarh and
spent a few years there. My regular visits to the Sai Centre
in the Technical Teachers Training Institute and attendance
at Bhajans gave me enormous peace and happiness.
When we shifted our residence from New Delhi to
Bangalore in 1995 little did I realize that I was being drawn
closer towards Bhagavan. As we settled down in our new
fat in Malleswaram we found that Swamis activities were
regularly taking place at Malleswaram Samithi at the Vidya
Mandir school, which was diagonally opposite to our
building. The then Convenor, Dr.Lakshman Rao was our
neighbour. We started attending the bhajans regularly. A few
months later, the samithi moved to its present location and
we continued our association. Whenever Bhagavans arrival
at Brindavan was announced in the samithi, we would plan
and go for His darshan.
A few years later, the construction of Sri Sathya Sai Super
Speciality Hospital started at Whitefeld. An announcement
was made in the Samithi about the requirement of volunteers
every week-end for various activities at the construction
site. I started visiting the site regularly offering my services.
This was a unique experience to fnd and appreciate that the
involvement of volunteers, although playing a small part,
was an inspiring and useful contribution in a mammoth
construction project designed by Bhagavan for the welfare of
the people of the country. This reminded me of the happening
in the Ramayana, namely noble contributions by the squirrels
to the construction of the bridge across the ocean to Lanka
during Bhagavans avatar as Sri Rama.
The opportunity provided by Bhagavan for us to do seva
at the project site, created an awareness of the presence of
Divinity at every stage. We could watch the speed at which
the project progressed - which would not be possible by
mere human effort of the engineers and labourers working.
Bhagavan used to visit the project site regularly and His
very presence would miraculously impart inspiration and
momentum to the pace of construction. I hold very dear
to my heart, my seva during the construction period of the
hospital.
By Bhagavans grace, during my seva at the construction
site, I came into contact with the then Brindavan Sevadal
Coordinator, Sri T.S.Venkatraman, indeed a wonderful
person, so full of humility and love for every one. He was
instrumental in bringing me into the sevadal fold. Since
my joining sevadal coincided with the construction of the
Super Specialty Hospital, plenty of opportunities opened up
to do seva at His Lotus feet. Swami used to visit Brindavan
frequently and stay for long periods energizing those engaged
in the project, with the fow of divine vibrations.
On the day I was to receive my scarf, I was asked to sit
near the aisle which provided me with the opportunity to
have Bhagavans Padanamaskar. I felt that the beginning
of my seva activity was auspicious. During the same week,
on another day, I was allotted duty at the Trayee gate. I was
standing all alone near the wall outside the Trayee gate,
awaiting Bhagavans Divine appearance for the morning
darshan. Bhagavan emerged from the Trayee Gate and was
proceeding towards Sai Ramesh hall. All of a sudden He
turned and walked towards me. I was dumbstruck for a while,
but soon realized that I was all alone there and that Bhagavan
was approaching me only. He came very near to me with a
beautiful smile. He spoke to me in Kannada What is your
name? I answered Ramamurthy From where have you
come? from Malleswaram. Before that, from where did
you come? from New Delhi. Very good. Bhagavan then
raised His right hand. All this happened so suddenly, I was
stunned, turned blank, without knowing how to react. As He
was bringing down his hand, I held out my right hand, He
placed his palm on my palm, pressed it and that remained
there for a while.
This is an unforgettable experience which would remain
evergreen in my memory. My wife was sitting on the bench
on the ladies side and was a spectator to all the action. After
the darshan, the frst thing she asked me was why I had not
bowed my head and received Bhagavans blessings when he
had raised His hand!
On another occasion, while doing duty at the Trayee gate,
during lunch hour I was alone. As no replacement sevadal
came, I could not go for lunch. I knew that the canteen would
be closing shortly. I resigned myself to forgo lunch and
continue my duty. Lo and behold, a person emerged from
inside Trayee and told me Bhagavan has asked you to have
lunch inside Trayee I was totally nonplussed. The realization
dawned on me that the Omnipresent and Omniscient
Bhagavan takes care of everybody at all times. I followed
the messenger, entered Trayee from the back side, and inside,
a most tasty lunch was awaiting me, the like of which I had
never tasted. It was a very moving experience to note the
compassion and care of Swami for the sevadal member,
who was about to miss his lunch.
On another day I was doing duty at Elephant Gate.
Swami came in Car for darshan and after taking a round of
Sai Ramesh Hall the car came out from near the hostel and
turned towards Trayee. While passing the Elephant Gate,
Swami stopped the car, blessed me with His beautiful smile
and then moved on.
With Bhagavans blessings I continued my sevadal duties
at Brindavan and the Super Specialty Hospital. Bhagavans
visit and stay at Brindavan inspired me to come for seva
almost every day. Seva exposed me to many opportunities
to have access to darshan of Swami.
At this stage, I was asked to take over as Convenor of
Malleswaram Samithi. I had no inkling of any such proposal
and it came as a complete surprise. I was also not prepared
for this responsibility since I had my own misgivings about
my suitability and capacity for this position. First, my spoken
Kannada was not at all adequate to be able to manage the
Samithi. Second my resource mobilizing skills and capacity
had its own limitations for running the Samithi. When I
conveyed my apprehensions and my inability to accept the
position, the senior offce bearers of the organization would
not accept, emphasizing that my nomination was Bhagavans
will and that His helping hand would always be there for me.
Reluctantly, I agreed to try it out.
I began my convenorship hesitantly but soon realized
that I am nothing but an instrument of Bhagavan and must
surrender to Him wholly. This brought me some comfort.
Malleswaram Samithi has been facing some problems off and
on, but Bhagavan has been helping us out in continuing the
main activities without major hurdles. Couple of years later,
Bhagavan gave me additional responsibilities of a Sector
Coordinator. Here also Bhagavan was continuously guiding
me and helping me at every situation.
Malleswaram Samithi has been facing problem regarding
accommodation, now and then. Once it was felt that the
accommodation question for the Samithi might turn out to be
critical. The offce bearers decided to surrender and pray for
Bhagavans intervention. We dashed to Prashanthi Nilayam
with a letter to Swami. All of us were seated at Sai Kulwant
Hall. Bhagawan came for His evening darshan in His Mobile
throne. As He came near where we were seated, Swami with
a beautiful loving smile, stretched His hand and asked for
the letter from me. All of us felt very happy and had a great
sense of satisfaction.
During the last visit and stay of Bhagavan at Brindavan,
He gave me an opportunity to perform Arathi to Him after
the morning darshan. I remember the date precisely. It was
Thursday, 5
th
June, 2008. When our District President told
me that I would be taking the Arathi, I could not believe it.
Availing the God given chance, I took the Arathi standing
in front of Bhagavan and His eyes were mostly centered on
me and I treasure this experience.
The experiences of the last few years have taught me
that if only we repose unfinching faith in Bhagavan, He will
take care of everything. Bhagavan may have cast away His
mortal frame, but He is always here, there and everywhere
to guide us and bless us in every way.
God is in you, with you, above you, below you

and around you.

NEW BEGINNING OF FAITH
AND SERVICE
Satish N.K.
Till 1993, I was more on the anti side of SSS (Sri Sathya
Sai) concept and belief. This changed after meeting one of
my old colleagues who was a strong believer and devotee
of Bhagawan.
My frst darshan of Bhagwan was sometime in October-
Decemeber 1993. As I reached late, I sat outside the main hall
at Brindavan along with several hundreds of other devotees.
That was the frst time I had darshan of Bhagawan and then
on, whenever He used to be in Bangalore, I would make a
visit to have a darshan of Him. After He stopped visiting
Bangalore, couple of times I went to Puttaparthi and I was
fortunate to have had darshan of Bhagawan. All through these
years, I got the same solace from a darshan of Bhagawan as
is the case with millions of other devotees.
When I look back on this long journey and my association
with SSS concept and belief, I realize that though I got
the frst darshan way back in 1993, I had not gone beyond
this, like having a personal interview, pada namaskara,
participating in various service activities, etc. However,
the turning point came in 2010 when I had to pass through
some of the major challenges in my personal life. Although
these challenges were enormous, I got the much needed
solace through my regular visits to Malleswaram Samithi.
The simple participation in weekly Bhajans not only helped
me in wading through the troubles, but also helped me in
balancing extremities in life.
Taking cue from here, in January 2011, I opted for
a weeks voluntary service at the Sri Sathya Sai Super
Speciality Hospital. I consider this period of six days as an
once-in-lifetime opportunity blessed by Bhagawan. During
my long association with the corporate world, I have traveled
both within and outside India, stayed in some of the best
hotels and Resorts but, the one week seva at Bhagawans
hospital gave me the pleasure which I had not experienced
elsewhere.
On Sunday, 27
th
March, 2011, the day before He was
hospitalised, I was present during the Bhajans in the sacred
Sai Kulwant Hall. I could not have Bhagawans darshan, and
left after offering my prayers. After I got to know that He was
hospitalized on March 28, 2011, I realised how fortunate I
was to be there at Puttaparthi.
Post April 24, 2011, all of us have to face many
challenges but, the devotees of Bhagawan stood like solid
rocks. This clearly proves that Bhagawan has guided and
nurtured all of us for this NEW BEGINNING OF FAITH
AND SERVICE.
True sacrifce is that which is made towards divinity.

PRAYER TO SWAMI NEVER
GOES IN VAIN
B.L. Sathyanarayana
Between 1978 and 1982 I was assigned by the Govt.
of India to work on deputation with the Government of
Tanzania, East Africa. Because of political instability in the
region due to incessant wars, the economy of the country
was shattered and the country experienced severe foreign
exchange crunch. When I left the country for good in 1982
and returned to India, I could not repatriate my savings and
earnings, which were held up in Tanzania since 1980. While
drawing up the remittance papers, I prayed to Swami to
expedite the remittance. By Swamis blessings all my dues
were cleared and I received the payments before the end of
1983. Were it not for Swami, I would not have received my
remittances before 1987 or much beyond, as was the case
with the others who left Tanzania along with me.
I live in the Grihalakshmi apartments in Jalahalli west.
I had a moped and while driving, I would keep all the
belongings like driving license etc, and a picture of Swami,
in a sling bag. One day I wanted to draw money from my
bank in Malleswaram and while taking out the moped cover,
I had kept my bag on a motor bike nearby. I started my bike
and left for Malleswaram, a good 45 minutes drive. At the
Indian Institute of Science circle I realized that I had left the
bag behind and was riding without license and money, pass
book etc. I panicked and began to pray to Swami for help
to save my belongings and to protect me from traffc police
checks. I returned to the apartment after 45 minutes, I saw
the bag untouched and all the articles were safe!
Swami was staying in Brindavan during January 2002.
On 18
th
January I was doing sevadal duty at the medical block
in the Sai Ramesh Hall during Swamis morning darshan. As
Swami was moving round the hall, He came, stood behind
me and was talking to a doctor for almost two minutes and
while talking I could feel his robe was touching me and
I was enjoying it praying that it should continue for some
more time.
I was assigned duty for the next day at the Super Specialty
Hospital which happened to be the frst anniversary of the
hospital. Swami was expected to participate and bless the
celebrations. Before going to the Super Specialty Hospital,
I wanted to serve for a while in the Gokulam canteen where I
used to serve regularly during Swamis stay at Brindavan.
While entering the canteen from kitchen side entrance
I stepped on a cabbage leaf which was covering an oil spill.
I skidded for about ten feet and stuck my knee against the
wall and fell down. I could hear the sound of the bone
snapping and I lay there with my leg out of action. Strangely
enough, by Swamis grace there was no trace of pain, even
though the knee had swollen to the size of a big ball. The
canteen manager saw my plight and sent me to General
Hospital in a van. An X-Ray confrmed that the knee had
been fractured. I was admitted to the hospital and they were
SAITHE MAGNET
K. Shankar
I am comparatively a late entrant to Sai fold. Like many
doubting Thomases, I also allowed myself to hearing a lot
of adverse things about Bhagawan and believed them, as
a result of which I had something bordering on hatred for
Swami. My wife, a medical practioner, was doing service by
attending medical camps in the periphery of Bangalore city.
When she asked me to join the activity as a volunteer, I told
her that she could continue her association with the Sathya
Sai Organization for which I had no objection, but not to ask
me to join their fold since I did not believe in Swami. She
left it at that.
I was in search of a spiritual guide. My wife told me
that if I did Guru Charitra Parayanam I would come to know
who my guru was. Accordingly, I completed the parayanam
and still did not get any idea who my guru was. In 2001, the
Super Specialty Hospital in Bangalore was inaugurated. By
virtue of being associated with the medical camps, my wife
received an invitation. She attended the function with one of
her colleagues and had a nice darshan of Bhagavan.
The previous night I had a dream in which I had a
darshan of Bhagavan. He appeared as if He was coming out
of a building and I was standing nearby prostrating before
Him and He lifted both His hands in the classic gesture of
not aware who would operate on my knee. Being Friday,
Dr. Manjunath had already fxed an operation. Next day
being the frst anniversary day of Super Specialty Hospital,
all were expected to go there.
Dr Sundaresh, in charge of the orthopaedic clinic and
surgery on Saturdays, unexpectedly (I believe it was actually
Swamis arrangement) came to the hospital on that Friday,
saw me and operated on my knee. I was made to walk with
a walker and the next morning I was discharged from the
hospital barely 24 hours after admission. It was purely,
Swamis grace that made the operation possible on a Friday
by the unexpected visit of Dr.Sundaresh. The way Swami
arranges events and situations are very mysterious and
beyond our grasp. When Swami stood behind me, it was to
minimize the impact of the mishap that was to happen soon
and I could realize it only after the mishap.
These three incidents would show how Swami stands
by His devotees, works up every thing for their good and,
by granting advance grace minimizes the adverse effects of
mishaps and accidents. Even a most feeble prayer to Swami
brings about good results. Swami never fails His Devotees.
Help as much as you can, as effciently as you can,

as lovingly as you can ; leave the rest to God,
who gave you a chance to serve.
Baba
benediction and blessed me saying Shubham Shubham.
Also in the dream, my wife who was near by called out to Him
Swami, Swami and He cast His vision at her and blessed
her by lifting up His palm and giving beautiful smile.
I knew that I had found my guru and guide and this is
how I came to be a blessed member of the Sai family. As
Swami Himself had once told one of His devotees who
expressed regret for having entered His fold so late, it is only
after tasting the mango one can know whether it is sweet or
sour, but the very awareness though late would be enough
to get realization. This is how Swami attracts people like a
magnet.
My son had passed out MBBS and appeared for a number
of entrance exams for post graduate courses, but he was
focused on becoming a neurosurgeon. He had also written
the entrance exam of NIMHANS for direct admission to the
super specialty neurosurgery course. He had secured seats
in other places. He was awaiting results from NIMHANS.
All the results came out but not the one he wanted. He was
extremely tensed up and unable to concentrate on any thing.
It was the fourth Sunday and both my wife and I were at
Medical camp at Muddenahalli. We got a phone call from
my son that NIMHANS result had been announced and that
he was selected, but could not believe it.
We went to NIMHANS, saw with our own eyes that
his name fgured in the selected list. Later he told us that
the previous night he had darshan of Swami in his dream in
75 BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET 74
which he saw Shirdi Bhagavan and Parthi Bhagavan on each
side with Vishwaroopa Darshanam in the center. Swamis
grace only helped him.
While in NIMHANS his working hours were extremely
arduous commencing early in the morning till late in the
night, some times throughout the night because of which he
used to commute by car. He perhaps inherited my trait of
driving fast. Once, around midnight we got a call from him
informing us that he had met with an accident near Cauvery
Theater. My wife started getting worked up and we rushed
to the spot.
Our son detailed how the accident took place with
an autorickshaw and the auto driver seems to have had a
miraculous escape. After ascertaining from the driver that
he would neither like to lodge a complaint with the police
nor willing to be taken to a hospital and that he would prefer
to take treatment from his doctor, we paid him whatever
money he wanted and came home. After coming home my
son told us that the previous night he had seen Bhagavan in
his dream in which Bhagavan blessed him and told him,
nuvvu bhaya padoddu, nenu unnanu (dont be afraid, I am
there). He could not realize the meaning or signifcance of the
vision then. But in retrospect we realized that Bhagavan was
warning him about the impending accident and also at the
same time assuring him that He would protect him. Such is
the ocean of love that Bhagavan has towards us and attracts
us to tread His path.
My wife had always kept saying till recently that Swami
had not bestowed HIS grace on her and that she yearned for
the day when Swami would show His karuna on her and
that she prays for His padanamaskaram just once in her
life time. But, alas! Swami has attained Mahasamadhi and
there is now no chance of her wish being fulflled physically
now. A few days before Swamis Mahasamadhi, Swami
appeared in her dream one night and lifted His robe, indicated
His feet to her and gave her His padanamaskaram. It can never
be predicted or foreseen how and when swami bestows His
blessings to us.
Sri Sathya Sai Seva centre under the auspices of
Malleswaram Samithi has been conducting medical check up
camps for the rural population around Bangalore for the last
15 years. Initially a handful of doctors and the paramedical
personnel were doing the service. The patients went on
increasing and we had to shift the camp to Muddenahalli
campus. Only Swamis grace has made it possible for this
camp to be run successfully for such a long time. Patients
come from far off places and when they are asked why they
come so far, they reply that there is something special and
sacred about this place and their suffering is alleviated to a
large extent. Sai, the magnet, motivates doctors, technicians
and volunteers alike to render service to the poor and needy.
In fact some people have said that if they happen to miss
even one camp for whatever reason, they feel as if they have
lost an opportunity of serving Swami, such is the power of
attraction of Bhagavan.
Think of God atleast once in a day.

Do not pay heed to what others say.
Develop faith and sanctify your lives.
Do not give room for bad or ill-feelings.
Do not harm others. Do not criticise others,
If you make others suffer, you will suffer,
you will suffer much more... God will confer
well-being on you and your family only
when you aspire for the welfare of others.
Develop noble feelings, think of God and make
proper use of your time.

AT THE LOTUS FEET OF MY
BELOVED SAI, THE MOST
COMPASSIONATE
Sudarshini Lakshman
Married into a Sai family in 1990, I did not have an
inkling of what a GREAT BLESSING it meant. My in-laws
were staunch devotees of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. My
mother-in-law, Smt. Ranganayakamma, was an exceptional
lady, full of energy, love and a commitment to Service. My
father-in-law, Sri Krishnamurthy, a very noble soul, was a
personication of duty and love. He was the silent power
behind the scenes!
My mother-in-law would tell how they went to see Swami
in the 1960s, after they shifted to Bangalore from Mumbai.
They would sit on either side of the gate of Swamis bungalow
in Brindavan (now Trayee Brindavan) with hardly about 150
to 200 devotees. Swami would glide in with a basketful of
vibhuthi packets slung on his left hand and distribute them
to each and every devotee present! During one such visit
to Brindavan in 1967, she was sitting for darshan with her
younger son Lakshman (my husband) on her lap, with a
worried look owing to his ill-health. As a child he would
get convulsions (ts) often, along with high temperatures.
She had covered his head up with a mufer. Swami came to
79
her and asked her in Telugu babuku yemaindee? (What
happened to the boy?) She said, Fits vastundi, Swami. He
immediately materialized vibhuthi and gave it to her, told her
to give one pinch in water every day, also applied vibhuthi
on the boys forehead and ran his hand over the boys head.
That was the end of ts!
Lakshman joined the BalVikas (Malleswaram) in 1970,
perhaps one of the very rst BalVikas classes to start, under
Smt. Lakshmi Nagarajs tutelage. He was a very talented
singer and this was completely put to full use when he
later joined Swamis college in 1977. At this time, both his
siblings, Venkatesh (brother, in Sevadal) and Geetha (sister,
a singer too), were in Brindavan. How very fortunate!
During his student days, Lakshman was blessed by
Baba to the fullest extent. He was drafted into the Brindavan
Boys Bhajan Group by Swami Himself on the very rst
day he joined, after Swami asked for an audition of the new
students in the hostel! Lakshman was permitted to sing from
the new students group, during that year. Lakshman would
sit at Swamis feet very often and massage His feet during
the bhajans!! Swamis love was showered abundantly on
him. On one occasion, Lakshman was given the opportunity
to take breakfast to Swami. Swami shared the breakfast
with Lakshman and asked him to sing a carnatic keerthana,
Seethammamayamma, and was rhythmically tapping His
hands on Lakshmans head to the beat of the song, while also
singing along with him! Swami explained the meaning of the
Kuppannas relatives who would not touch anything made
by people without Samashrayanam (a sanctifying ritual in
Iyengar community). Kuppanna asked his stunned relatives
to take the prasadam from the vessel directly, so that sanctity
would not be lost!! After this incident, his relatives also started
participating in the Sai Bhajans regularly. Kuppanna once
visited our old house and meditated at the puja room. Vibhuthi
appeared in all Swamis photographs and books. Even to this
day we have these books covered with vibhuthi.
During 1997, when we were in Anandnagar, a lady by
name Sai Lakshmi came to our house and as soon as she
entered, kumkum, haldi, vibhuthi and amrutham appeared in
photos in the puja room. She also told me that Baba would
visit our house on His Birthday (23

November). True to her
word, haldi powder appeared on a small beautiful photograph
of Swami on 23
rd
November. During the same time Swami
appeared in my dream, wearing white. Till then I had not
seen Swami in a white gown in any photo. In the dream, my
mother-in-law was taking me along to get padanamaskar.
When I narrated this dream to my husband, he said Swami
wears white on His Birthday. This was the birthday of Swami
in my heart.
Very slowly, surely and gently, He drew me to Him,
never to let go! After this, any Swami photo which anybody
presented to us is always Swami in white.
During 1998, we got ourselves relocated at Malleswaram.
We decided to perform a Sai Sathyanarayana Puja in
song to the few members present in the room.
Every Monday, religiously, there would be a Sai Bhajan
at our old house in the evenings. This was started in the year
1975 and continued till early 90s (for almost two decades),
when my father-in-law passed away suddenly. I am sure
many would remember and recollect those glorious days. I
would sit through these bhajans, just to listen to my husband
sing so soulfully, feeling proud none-the-less (ego!). My
husband had presented me Satyam Sivam Sundaram Part
1, when we got engaged. But I had not even icked through
the rst page.
Many of you would have heard about Kuppanna Mama,
the saintly sadhak, an ardent devotee of Swami, who was
residing at 18
th
Cross, Malleswaram during the years 1968
to 1978. Lakshman reminisces the days when he visited
their house and sang bhajans. Vibhuthi, kumkum, haldi
and sandalwood powder would pour from the photos in the
bhajan room. Swami would direct many foreigners who
visited Brindavan to go over to Kuppannas house and also
send messages to him through them. Once Kuppanna had not
shaved for a week, Swami sent shaving blades through the
American devotees and asked him to shave!! Swami would
also send Kuppanna small chits with messages, directly from
His photographs.
During Swamis Birthday celebration at Kuppannas
house on the evening of 23
rd
November 1975, laddus from
Puttaparthi miraculously appeared in an empty vessel which
was kept for the bhajan, in response to a challenge from
our house and I told Subramanya Sastriji to get a beautiful
red rose garland for Swami. The puja was over in the
morning. We had invited our neighbours, Poovamma and her
daughter (also Baba devotees), to come over in the evening.
The daughter walks in with a beautiful book-mark of Swami
holding a red rose garland! What a Divine way of showing
His acceptance!
During November 1999, we wrote a letter to Swami to
perform Upanayanam for my son in His presence. In the
summer month of March 2000, Shastriji came home on a
blistering hot day, to give me the application form. Talking
of divine instruments, Smt. Indira Acharya helped me to get
the application through to the proper authorities. We were, of
course, told that Swami would select the eligible applicants.
My son happened to get selected, only by His Grace. The
Upanayanam was performed on the 9
th
April, 2000. Since my
husband was not in the country, my sister-in-law Geeta and
her husband Raghunath were given the chance to sit through
the proceedings. Incidentally, Geeta has only daughters and
(may be?) He had answered her secret prayer to perform
Upanayanam for a boy (son)! Strange and wonderful are
His ways!
With my faith in Swami rmly established, I started
listening to bhajans. Since I was still working from home,
I could not devote time for other activities. My mother-
in-law would go regularly to the Super-Speciality Hospital
in Whiteeld for service. She would attend bhajans and
was my messenger of Swami.
In 2001, my sister-in-law Geetha was involved in a major
road accident. After a metador van hit her scooter, she had
fallen down unconscious. Her daughter, 11 year old, was
standing alone crying beside her. Suddenly, a bus coming
from behind stopped; a lady got out and ran to them. She took
them to the hospital in an auto, told the girl to stop crying
and say Sairam instead. She bundled all the jewels in a
handkerchief, waited for a family member to arrive, handed
over everything intact and just disappeared. Only Swami,
in the form of the lady, saved her and gave her a rebirth.
Geetha took almost a year to recover. Even eyesight (which
was feared damaged permanently) was restored when she
started reading the Sai Satcharitam!
During 2006, we had asked Sri Chettiyar for a pair of
silver padukas. In Madurai, Swami stood on the mould of
the padukas and energized them. Silver padukas are made
out of this mould. Sri Chettiar initially asked me to go to
Madurai to pick it up, but later told me to go to Parthi.
This was the day after Shivarathri on 27
th
February, 2006,
a Monday. I went to Parthi with my co-sister, Asha Venkatesh.
We were there the full day waiting to meet Sri Chettiar. We
had the afternoon darshan, received the Shivaratri Prasad and
met Sri Chettiar in the evening. He said that if we can wait
for another day, he will perform the pooja to the padukas
and give them to us. Since we could not wait, we brought
the padukas along with us on the same day. The next day, Sai
Lakshmi walks in (we did not know she was in town) saying
Swami had sent her here to do puja! Amrutam poured out
of the padukas and vibhuthi from the photos. The padukas
received their right share of puja. The compassionate Lord is
not happy till He gives us what we thought we missed!
My brother-in-law, Sri Venkatesh, had a heart attack
during 2007. Even though the attack was detected 2 weeks
later, Swami had protected him right through. The doctors
were surprised that he was still walking around in that
condition! He was admitted in the ICU and we were told that
he had only 48 hours. He came out of ICU and was operated
upon successfully, later.
On Swamis Birthday on November 23, 2008, I had
prepared some Sakkere Pongal and offered it to Him. The
only issue was that I was in my monthly menstrual cycle and
I had still gone ahead, praying to Him to forgive me and still
accept the offering, as I did not have the heart to offer nothing
on this auspicious day. With the pongal, I had also kept a
FULL glass of water. I forgot to take it out during the day.
In the evening I noticed that the glass was HALF-empty and
the balance water in the glass had a sweet amrutam fragrance.
There were three nger impressions on the pongal!! Swami
had indeed accepted the offering.
One day, in 2008, a sevadal member in Brindavan by
name Krishnaprasad (who is a family friend, a bachelor
residing in the Ashram), came home and gave us a robe of
Swami, since he thought it would be safe in our custody.
We were told that Swami had gifted His robes to all sevadal
members present, during His visit to Brindavan in mid 2008.
Lakshman always nurtured a desire to have Swamis robe,
I believe. Antharyami Sai, isnt He? Swami fullled that
desire as well.
Swami sent solace to my son when he had some health
problems. He sent a locket with Shirdi and Parthi Baba on
either side (he wears it around his neck now), some medicines
etc, through a devout lady Smt. Mrunalini from Chennai,
who suddenly visited our house one day and said that Swami
had directed her here! Lakshman also got a silver locket of
Swami, which He had blessed, from Smt. Bhama, another
staunch devotee, since she liked his singing in a CD which
I had given her. I was the only one without a locket now.
Lakshman had been carrying a vibhuthi packet in his valet,
for close to a year, and dcided to replace it with a new one, as
the vibhuthi was losing its freshness. As he took out the old
packet, he felt a hard object inside. On close examination, it
turned out to be a heart-shaped locket with His Abhyahastha
pose! Overwhelmed with joy, I grabbed it and strung it around
my neck!!
His benevolence still continues as we receive His
blessings all the time.Swami is All pervading, All knowing
and Ever compassionate! We only need to call Him with a
pure unsullied heart. He is waiting, waiting for all of us to
call Him, go to Him and nally merge with Him!
There is no morality higher than truth. There is no

prayer more fruitful than Seva.

SOURCE, COURSE, FORCE
AND BACK TO SOURCE
R. Thirumalachar
I was born as second son in an upper middle class
family in the city of Mysore in 1937. My parents were
religious Sree vaishnava Brahmins. They were loving and
compassionate. One poor student who was staying with us
was treated as guest and had meals with us. My maternal
grand father who lived nearby was a social reformer. He
worked for the upliftment of Harijans.
When I was 14, I was taken to a house in the market
area where special pooja and bhajans were held. The deity
there was Sai Baba of Shirdi, The master of the house
was a soothsayer. He lovingly answered the devotees who
came to him with their problems. He charged no fees. He
did not recommend any special ritual. There was love and
compassion in him. The house turned mandir on Thursdays.
I got attracted and repeated my visit on Thursdays.
In 1953, I had been to Bangalore to see a cricket match.
I stayed in my uncles house in Balepet. There is a Lakshmi
Narasimha temple there. Opposite to the temple is a peepal
tree around which vendors sit. One of the vendors was
selling pictures. I saw a picture of Shirdi Sai Baba on sale
and purchased it. In 1954 I had typhoid fever with high
temperature. My father was worried and he kept the picture
of Shirdi Baba next to me. Best of medical attention was also
BLOSSOMS AT THE LOTUS FEET 87
provided and I recovered.
In 1955, I moved to Bangalore to study Mechanical
Engineering. I was staying with my uncle, late Dr B.
Tirumalachar. He had a doctorate in Zoology from London.
He was a colleague of Prof.N.Kasturi. My uncle became an
ardent devotee of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba. Bhajans were
sung daily in their house and arathi performed to Bhagavans
picture.
In 1957 I had the opportunity of going to Puttaparthi
with my uncle when he went there to get the blessings for
his daughter before her marriage. My aunt had brought all
the ingredients for Padapuja. After Padapuja, Bhagavan
materialized Mangala sutra for the bride and blessed all of
us. After that I went to Puttaparthi couple of times with my
uncle. There was no change in me.
In 1963, I joined Indian Air Force and the military life
was a far cry from adhyathma. I lost contact with spirituality
though I continued to practice some rituals of worship
imbibed from childhood. Occasionally I attended bhajans
when I was in Bangalore on vacation.
In 1980 I was serving in Allahabad. There was a small
samithi conducting weekly bhajans in a nearby temple of
our Air Force campus. I started attending bhajans. The
convenor of the samithi was transferred to some other place
and a search was on for a new convenor. Being the senior
most offcer in that group who participated in the bhajans,
I was made the convenor of that Sai Samithi. This time
Bhagavan took hold of me and I found myself getting
involved more in various activities of the Sai Samithi.
I represented Allahabad Samithi in the world conference
at Prashanthi Nilayam. I was active in service activities in
Kumbhamela.
In 1982 I moved to Jorhat in Assam. There also I was
active in the Samithi. The discipline and the devotion of
the people of Assam was a lesson in Bhakthi. The service
activities undertaken during foods were impressive.
I moved to Nagpur in 1984 where I came in contact
with Sri Wadegaonkar, Service Coordinator of Maharashra.
He was strict and compassionate. To be a member of Sevadal,
the frst step was duty in footwear stand at weekly bhajans.
My being a military offcer and middle aged, made no
difference to the requirements of Sevadal induction. I became
a Sevadal and earned the scarf.
Sri Wadegaonkar is a specialist in sanitation. He conducts
annual Sanitation Maintenance camps in Prashanthi Nilayam.
He takes a team of nearly 150 sevadal volunteers. He has his
own store in Prashanthi Nilayam, where he keeps implements
and spares.
I went to the annual camp. After reaching Prashanthi
Nilayam in the evening, we were shown our shed to stay
and asked to get ready for physical work within an hour.
We worked till the light permitted. We were told that we
should not go anywhere till our tasks were completed -
which included darshan and bhajan sessions. For one week
we had no darshan of Bhagavan, though we were staying in
Prashanthi Nilayam. That discipline was more demanding
than military discipline and it was spiritual force that made
all of us follow the leaders commands.
After the allotted task of demolishing old toilets, clearing
the drains and constructing new toilets we were told to
assemble in the Mandir the next day for Darshan. Bhagavan
spent more than an hour exclusively with our group. He gave
us pada namaskar, vibhoothi from His own hands and many
more gifts. One of them was a suit case which He handed over
personally to each of us. We were more than compensated
for our weeks patience in having Darshan. The spiritual
COURCE of service prompted by love for Loving God is
the FORCE that stays with me to this day.
I took voluntary retirement in 1987 as I lost interest in
the lifestyle of Air Force. It did not take me long to join the
Sai Organisation in Bangalore. My military background
and the need for coordinator for North Zone of Bangalore
district beckoned me to the post. Malleswaram, R.T. Nagar
and Vyalikaval were the three samithis in North Zone.
Malleswaram Samithi bjajans were then held in a class
room of the Vidya Mandir School, located in an old building
opposite to Sri Venugoplaswamy Temple in the 11
th
Cross.
Prof. Narasimha Murthy was the convenor at that time.
Soon, he was moving out to another locality and the then
District President Dr R.S. Padmanabhan replaced him with
Prof. N.S. Lakshman Rao. Sri C.R. Krishnaswamy was
chosen as Spiritual Coordinator and Smt Lakshmi Nagaraj,
a senior Balvikas guru was to provide support for Education
Wing and bhajans. The new team was active and innovative.
However, soon, the School building was to be demolished
and they moved to a new building near Prof Lakshman Raos
residence. Malleswaram Samithi also moved to the new
building where the room was big and more devotees started
coming and flling the hall.
Prof Lakshman Rao started guest talks by prominent
persons in the feld of Adhyathma. The list included Swami
Harshanandaji, President, Ramakrishna Ashram, Bangalore,
Sri Mathoor Krishnamurthy, Director, Bharathiya Vidya
Bhavan, Bangalore, Sri Hiremagalur Kannan, Prof. Gururaj
Karjagi and many more. Prof Ananthalakshmi Natarajan gave
a series of lectures on Bhagawad Gita, culminating with a
programme of GITAYAGNA and HOMAM.
Today, Malleswaram Samithi which moved from Sri
Vidya Mandir School to the basement of Late Sri Surya
Raos house boasts of attendance of over 200 persons
every Thursday. The infrastructure in the Samithi is the
best available for any Samithi. The activities are of the best
calibre.
In the Sai organization, I was given many opportunities
to work as Sevadal leader. Some of them are :
a) Leader of security team doing duties in Prashanthi
Nilayam
b) Leader of the team for providing hospitality to doctors
attending Cardiologists conference in Prashanthi Nilayam
c) Making arrangements for accommodating the top
class artists performing in the Unity Concert as part of
69th and 70
th
Birthday celebrations of Bhagavan and
providing hospitality to artists.
d) Member of team of engineers monitoring progress of
Drinking Water Project of Ananthapur District.
e) Preparation of cricket pitch and stadium to host an
International cricket match and the hospitality thereof.
All these above opportunities were the blessings of
Bhagavan. Many other tasks were also assigned to me by
the organization, which gave me opportunities to be in
distinguished group of devotees. After the seva activities in the
Super Speciality Hospital became a continuous responsibility
of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, Karnataka, I was made
a Service Coordinator for Gents Seva in the Hospital. This
task is both challenging and satisfying.
The SOURCE was love which I got from my parents,
the COURSE was love which I saw in Shirdi Sai Baba
and FORCE was the service activities I experienced with
Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba. Now I am trying to go back to
the SOURCE practicing love. From LOVE, through LOVE,
with LOVE, back to LOVE. This I think is Sais message.
To serve man is to serve God.

For me Swamy has come in many forms. He is for
me Mata Dhata, Uwsv, s:, Q, :, gtA, v,
s:, Ai:, A zsA dAii.
The tradition which was set sailed by my grandfather
and father is being continued by my brothers and
through my daughter too. My daughter, born and
brought up amidst this environment has also become a
faithful devotee. She, automatically started following in
a play way method like how I grew. Praying and playing
is the same for her too. Since her childhood, she has
been an attentive Balvikas student.
I, in my own small way, trying to pass on the
tradition inculcated by my elders. Now, as a Balvikas
guru, I am trying to inculcate the spirit of spirituality
and teach Balvikas children our Indian culture and
Babas teachings so that the small buds will blossom
into beautiful flowers which can spread the fragrance
of knowledge to all corners.
We are all so blessed to be the contemporaries of
Bhagawan Baba. We must enjoy the Salokyam and
Samepyam with Baba and must try to attain Saroopyam
and Sayujyam of Baba.
Sow in the feld of your heart the seeds of good thoughts,

charged with humility ; irrigate it with the waters of love ;
protect the growing crop with the pesticide called courage ;
feed the crop with the fertilizer of concentration ; then the
bhakthi plants will yield the harvest of jnana, the eternal
wisdom, that you are He, and when that revelation comes,
you become He, for you were always He, though you
did not know it so far.

Remember three things always : Continue seva,
wherever you are. Seek chances of helping others.
Never lose an opportunity of using your skills and
enthusiasm for the alleviation of sorrow, pain or distress.
Secondly, do not omit, neglect or postpone your own
particular sadhana study, japa, dhyana, bhajan,
nama sankirtan and other such spiritual practices.
Above all, have faith that swami is with you
at all times and at all places.

Sai is Love. He is compassion and kindness itself.

He is dwelling in the hearts of you all.
To trust Him means freedom from all anxiety,
fear and doubts. He is you, all-in-all.
When you have such a Lord of the Universe to
depend upon, why should you be afraid or
anxious about anything ? His great assurance
will always sustain you and infuse into you courage,
strength, peace and joy.
He says, Lo ! To those who worship Me alone,
thinking of no other, I bring full security.
He does eveything for your best. No condition is
miserable for you, if you have full faith in this truth.

Appreciating the importance of actions, you must

see that everything you do is pure and holy.
Action is not limited to what you do with your hands.
What you hear, what you speak and what you think -
ALL OF THEM CONSTITUTE ACTION.
This means that the things you see, the words you hear,
the thoughts you think and the speech you make,
should all be pure.

If your foot slips, you sustain a fracture ; if your

tongue slips, you fracture some ones faith or joy.
That fracture can never be set right ; that wound
will fester for ever. Therefore, use the tongue
with great care.

The whole secret lies in detachment or vairagya. The
tongue has so many oils, fats and greasy substances
rolling over it; but, it is unaffected by these, it does not
become greasy. The eye is unaffected by the collyrium that
is painted on it. The mind too must be unaffected by the
opposite experiences of success and failure of gain and loss,
of wellness and illness ; it must be surrendered at the feet
of the Lord.

Serving anyone is serving Me, for I am in all.

The relief and joy that you give to the sick
and the sad reach Me, for I am in their
hearts and I am the one they call out for.
Baba

The home where we lived in and where the Samithi was
located was a very huge bungalow serving multiple purposes.
From 8 a.m in the morning till 8 p.m. in the evening, the front
portion of the home, including the living rooms served as a
clinic and waiting room for my fathers dental clinic. When
bhajans were conducted, the waiting room was converted
into a Bhajan Hall for special occasions. Otherwise bhajans
were held inside, in a large dining room, where at least 100
to 150 people would come and participate. When the space
was inadequate, there was a small outhouse in the same
compound which was vacant and then this involved shifting
the bhajan activity to that place. This was also where Swami
came one day unannounced. He happened to be going to St
Marthas Hospital to see His uncle who was admitted, and He
just decided that He would be present in the bhajans which
was going on at that time, sat down, accepted the arathi and
then left.
It appeared to me that the whole objective of Swamis
will was to sow the seeds of the Samithi, nurture it and ensure
that the devotees would continue this activity.
When we come to think of it, it does cause a little concern
that though Swami sowed the seed for the organization we
have not been able to provide any permanent accommodation
so far. As the Convener mentioned, we still do not have a
permanent place, but because of the devotion of the Surya
Rao family, we have more or less some permanent space
made available to carry on Samithis important activities,
for the last ffteen years. We should acknowledge that. I also
wonder sometimes, if we really need a permanent place?
BHAGAWANS GIFT TO
MALLESWARAM
Dr. D. C. Sundaresh
Om Sri Sai Ram. Revered elders, dear brothers and
sisters and children
I think it is Swamis will that has made it happen that
all of us are here today to celebrate the most auspicious day
of Golden Jubilee of Malleswaram Samithi. The Samithi
initially started as a Bhajan Mandali & later changed into
a Sathya Sai Seva Samithi and has been continuing since
then. It is our proud privilege to be a part of this group of
people and of the Swamis organization here today. Swami
sowed the seeds and also ensured that it was nurtured, to
grow to its present size.
The Bhajan Mandali activities when it started were of
a routine nature at home. Initially we used to have bhajans
twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays Mondays because
we were Shiva Bhakthas and Thursdays because we were
Swami Bhakthas.
It was fun to have a large group of people coming in
for bhajans and having to interact with so many people. The
interesting part was the prasadam that was distributed at
the end. We owe it to and should pay tribute to the people
who were responsible for this my parents, the rest of my
family, who enjoyed doing this. Prasadam was always served
substantially and we tried to ensure our presence towards the
end and we always sat in the last for Bhajans.
We have survived very well so far. I think the root for this
organization has been Swamis love which has protected
us from the critical problems and permitted us to grow.
Even so, it may be necessary in order to facilitate better and
wholesome functioning, for all of us to think of securing a
permanent accommodation for the Samithi.
This Samithi has been the nodal centre for Sai spiritual
and service activities and I take this opportunity to thank all
those who are here and all those who are not here for having
supported this and brought it up to this level. Of course, our
fnal thanks would be to the Lord who willed it to be possible
and but for whom we would not be sitting here today on this
momentous occasion. I thank you for this opportunity and
pray to Bhagawan to bless us all.
I shall be with you wherever you are, guarding you and

guiding you. March on, have no fear.
Baba

SWAMI IN THE EYES OF A
SCIENTIST
Prof. J. Shashidhara Prasad
I offer my most respectful and loving pranams at the
Lotus Feet of my beloved Master. Revered elders, Sai
brothers and sisters; Loving Sai Ram to all of you.
Today we are here at the will of our beloved Swami and
infact I am lucky to spend my time with all the devotees who
have been with Bhagawan for more than half a century. I just
thank all of you for inviting me and my wife. It is a privilege
and opportunity to be with you today and I have the pleasure
of spending the whole day with you.
Generally I tell people that I am like Ekalavya. I just came
to Swami one decade back. Earlier to that I was just brooding
over about divinity, about God and so on. The reason is I am
basically a physicist. However, apart from my interest in
pursuit of science, I was also interested in spiritualism. The
reason why I mention this is that during my high school days,
I used to go to the Railway Station and stand over the railway
track, and watch the train and the parallel track. At the far
end they would appear as if meeting. This fascinated me
nearby the tracks are parallel and at far end they appear to
be meeting. That is where I got the inspiration. That is where
my quest began. In fact people used to tease me since I used
but Swami entertains them to correct them. Next time when
Devaraj visited Mysore for valuation work, he had come
ready with the answer. He had asked Bhagawan for which
he got the reply that they deserve to be with Him due to their
past punya, but I cannot say what is going to happen to them
in their future every saint has a past and every sinner has
a future, and that is what Swami confded.
I came to know later that in the Paschimvahini Sathya
Sai Temple, vibhuthi was fowing from the photographs of
Swami and theertham was materialising from two pendants
which had the pictures of Shirdi Baba and Sathya Sai Baba.
So, on every weekend on Saturdays and Sundays, myself and
my colleagues used to go by car to test if it is true- whether
the gentleman there was putting vibhuthi on the photographs
and also replenishing theertham in the cups containing the
pendants. We were visiting and checking this almost every
week for six months. Finally we were convinced that the
materializations were real and true and the gentleman was not
cheating. It was coming on its own from the photographs of
Bhagawan. So, that was where my quest really began. Even
though in the heart of my heart I had some faith, I wanted
confrmation whether this is true or not. But the Ekalavya
nishta was there. Sometimes I used to feel that Ekalavya
gave his thumb to his Guru, but Swami took me with Him
into His fold during the last part of His life. I enjoyed all the
love and affection. Probably I cannot even describe the love
He showered over me this one year and I can quote some
instances later.
Before I get into other topics, frst I would like to say
that I am a very poor eater in the night, I dont take lot of
to be in the Railway Station everyday during my school days
and watch the train and the track.
Later I pursued science and was also reading books on
spiritualism. I was also attending bhajans in Ramakrishna
Ashram regularly during my college days. I used to read lots
of books and I was just wondering whether there is something
as God and so on. Subsequently I came to wonder whether
miracles are possible and if possible is it justifed to perform
as I was infuenced by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa who
advocated against performing miracles, whereas Bhagawan,
as I read in the books, used to perform lot of miracles. This
put me in a dilemma whether it could be true and whether
I should accept Ramakrishna Paramahamsas statement or
believe in Swami performing miracles. I have also read that
Christ also performed miracles, but not many. The person
performing lot of miracles, that was the puzzle.
I used to read about the works and speeches of Swami
in Sanathana Sarathi - that there is God who is omnipresent,
omnipotent and omniscient ; another statement that attracted
my attention was, if you take one step towards Me, I will
walk hundred steps towards you. Such statements really
interested me at that point. Another thing is that many friends
of mine in Bangalore University were devotees of Bhagawan-
Prof Kuchela, Prof. Devaraj and others. They used to visit
Mysore for examination work. I used to ask Prof Devaraj,
about the many people who dont deserve to be with God but
nevertheless were with Him. In the opinion of Prof Devaraj,
in the societal framework this is not supposed to be good
food. Everyday I used to go for dinner with Swami and
I wanted to avoid so many items and also cautioned the people
who were going to serve. Swami exhorted, What is this,
you should eat everything. He forced me to eat everything.
I sustained eating large quantities for one year.
The techniques in physical sciences are entirely different
from techniques of spiritualism. That is what I came to
realize. Sometimes we look for logical answers. But you
have to understand that where God is concerned you have
to use your intuitive skills and think from the heart and not
from the mind. That is what I believe.
Later I decided that I should go and have a darshan of
Bhagawan in Whitefeld. In 1973, after I got married, we
went there few times- my wife and myself . Once, when we
went there Swami had gone to Parthi, and we wanted at
least to see the place. The person in charge there did not treat
us properly. From the gate he showed, see, that is Swamis
residence and then asked us to vacate that place.
The second time when we went there, Swami did not
come out because of a meeting with the doctors about the
hospital. We couldnt see Swami. Finally we decided not
to go there at all. and I just decided not to go any time later
also.
Subsequently I went in 1998 to Puttaparthi along
with the doctors from Switzerland. My parents were in
Switzerland. They wanted me to make arrangements for
their visit to Puttaparthi and that I should see to it that they
were taken to Puttaparthi. I said, let us see again whether we
will have darshan of Bhagawan. So, between 1973 and 1998
we never bothered to go and have the darshan of Swami. Only
in 1998 we went there and had a darshan of Bhagawan from
a distance, not close by, probably we were in the last rows.
That was the frst time I really had a darshan of Bhagawan.
In fact I had some goose bumps when Swami came out to
give darshan - that is true.
Subsequently in 2000, January 21
st
I was invited to
deliver a talk in the National Workshop in Puttaparthi,
conducted by the Department of Science and Technology.
We thought that we would have darshan of Bhagawan. We
waited for three days. Swami never showed up and fnally
on the 22
nd
we decided to leave as personally I had made
up my mind to leave Puttaparthi that day evening. 23
rd
was
Sunday and 75
th
birthday celebrations of Dr Raja Ramanna
had been arranged in Bangalore and I had an invitation
for the function. Therefore I thought that I should go there
and so decided to leave on 22
nd
evening or next day early
morning to Bangalore from Puttaparthi. But on 22
nd
evening
Swami came out to give darshan.. We were seated on the 7
th

or 8
th
row and all the doctors were sitting on the front rows.
Swami came there, He made way and directly came to me,
probably thinking that I was the culprit who wanted to leave
for Bangalore. Then he asked me, Where do you come
from?; from Mysore. Then He asked me whether I knew
Kannada. Then He immediately switched over to Kannada. I
will give you vibhuthi, you take; Yes, ok Swami; He gave
me vibhuthi. Then He said, Tomorrow evening you should
be here. But I didnt say yes or no because I had planned
to go to Bangalore for attending the birthday celebrations of
Raja Ramanna who was close to me. I had worked with him,
so I thought of going there. But Swami told me to stay and
be present next day evening. Eighty percent I was willing to
go away, but my wife and son forced me to stay back that
day. We stayed back and next day Swami gave me interview
for 90 minutes! That is where He really punctured the ego
of all the scientists who were present. There were scientists
from IIT Kanpur, IIT Mumbai, and Swami called us inside.
The frst thing He told us was that all of us are scientists
from good institutions. He enquired as to where we came
from and then reminding us about Einsteins mass energy
equation, When energy could be obtained from matter, why
cant matter be obtained from energy, we can also think of
the reversible reaction. We replied, yes, Swami. Then He
told us, I can do this because I know my divinity, but you
cannot do it because you have not explored your own divinity.
If you are able to become aware of your own divinity, you
will also be able to do that. Miracles can be performed, that
is what He told us.
Swami wanted to show that He is not into Black Magic
or any magic like thing. This episode, is mentioned by me in
every forum because that is where Swami really proved that
He is not doing any magic or black magic. We had a scientist
from IIT Mumbai, Prof Singh, He frst asked the Professor
to give his ring. Swami is very humorous You say this is
your marriage ring and this is broken, dilapidated, it has no
gems on it and what is this? This is not having any stones. He
passed round the ring to all of us. There were the marks and
the initials. The ring was so bad, in fact we were all wondering
how he was wearing that ring in Swamis presence. Then He
took it back. He blew three times and showed us the ring.
The same ring had nine gems on it including a diamond and
He passed it on to us just see whether it is the same ring
or not, because when he goes back his wife should not get
him out of the house telling that he has brought some other
ring. I am a good jeweller. I have been able to put nine
gems in your present ring. Suppose you had taken it to some
other jeweller, he would have taken several days to do it.
What do you say? It was just to make us understand that,
I am not taking out rings from somewhere. He could have
materialized a new ring and given. He did not do that. He
wanted the scientists to know that miracles are possible. This
is how the message spreads. This is what happened there. I
am not mentioning what happened in these ninety minutes,
but we were moved by what He told when we were leaving
I gave you interview for 90 minutes, hope you didnt get
bored. We said, Swami, we would like to stay some more
time with you. Then, while leaving He again spoke to me.
I asked Him whether I could come to His place often. Then
He told, Bangaru, you can come any time you want, this
is your home, free for you to come to Puttaparthy any time
you want.
So, until He wanted me to go there I could not go. And,
unless He wills even a dust cannot leave Puttaparthi. Why a
dust, even human beings like us could not reach Him until
He willed. Subsequently I visited Puttaparthi on several
occasions. When Sri Anil Gokak was the Vice Chancellor,
I was taken into the Governing Body of the Sathya Sai
Institute of Higher Learning and I had the privilege of
having the darshan of Swami from close quarters, enjoying
His love and affection.
I will now speak about the Omnipresense, omnipotence
and omniscience of Swami. It is very important to know that
Swami, is God and is capable of these things.
When I say omnipresence, I am going to mention another
episode that happened before Swami took me into His fold.
But this indicates as to when He actually started taking me
into His fold. In 1987, I had been to Lisbon in Portugal for
an International Conference to present a paper. From there,
I was supposed to go to France. I had taken the visa for
Portugal and France but not for Spain which I had to pass
through while travelling by Eurail. Unfortunately I was told
that I do not require visa if I go without breaking journey
in Spain. But I went to Portugal, fnished my talk there and
then started by train to France. At the Spanish border, the
police told me that I did not have a visa and hence deported
me back to Lisbon. My talk in France was on Monday
morning, but Saturday morning I was back in Lisbon. So
I had no visa, no hotel arrangement because the hotel where
they had put me up last was full. I was really desperate. Then
I just went to the Spanish Embassy knowing fully well that
the Embassy would be closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
I went and was waiting there with my luggage. Suddenly a
gentleman appeared there and he, (in Portugal nobody speaks
in English) asked me, Hi! How are you, where have you
come from. I immediately told him that I am from India.
First he said, How can you get visa on a Saturday, tomorrow
is Sunday, you can get only on Monday. Finally he told me,
Dont worry, you wait here for some time, a tall person will
come here in his car, you ask him, and you will get your
visa; then go and attend the conference. As he told, a person
came and I mentioned about visa. The visitor took me to his
house, gave the visa and sent the staff with me to the station
to fnd the right train. When all this happened, I was just
wondering, what is happening, who is the person who came
suddenly. The person who guided me disappeared suddenly.
During that interview with Swami, mentioned earlier,
I realized that it was Swami who appeared at Lisbon at that
time. This incident happened even before I had any darshan
of Bhagawan. So such things have been happening.
About omniscience, I remember asking Swami Do you
remember when I thought of you very intensely, though I had
not come to you; I prayed and very intensely remembered
you. The reference here is about my nephew, because when
my sister gave birth to her frst child, she had high fever and
the baby used to lie on my lap for nearly one month. And
the only time he would sleep well was when I used to play
the LP of Bhagawan singing bhajans. That LP had been
given to me by one of my colleagues. Swami said, Naren,
yes, yes, I know that spontaneously without any hint from
me. This is what I mean by omniscience. I have got all the
experiences to prove that Swami is omniscient, omnipotent
as well as omnipresent.
Now Swami was close to me and I used to be very
careful not to behave like a scientist. In science you know
how macroscopic matter behaves in a way different from
microscopic matter. Microscopic matter is much different
from nano material. The same material in different forms has
different properties. Here in this situation each of us think of
Swami as either Divine or a divine being in a human role. As
a human being He has his own way. At the Divine level it is
something different. Sometimes He is totally human in his
behaviour, say in talking etc but sometimes He will switch
over to the Divine ways. What we see is the play of subtle
and the gross, and these two elements are present even in
science. So, one can think either in a gross way or a subtle
way. Now, as a scientist, I just wonder about the duality of
matter in life. Life can exist as a particle as well as a wave.
The matter can exist as a particle as well as a wave. This is
the duality of Bhagawan as a divine being and as a human
being. Both things are in coexistence here. You cannot say
when a particle behaves like a wave and when it behaves
like a particle. Swami suddenly behaves as a Divine Avatar.
Normally, He is down to earth as if He is a human being. That
is why I used to write in my diary as well as tell my close
friends that it is very diffcult to be with Swami because you
can be trapped in Maya very easily. That is what I observed
and that is what I know.
I am quite fortunate to have entered the fold of Swami
much later, not earlier. I do not know how it happened with
our Murthy anna sir, but most of the people really get trapped,
attracted by Bhagawans maya. I have noted down what I
have realized, probably because that is what I observed here.
To quote a simple episode : A particular faculty member
wanted a transfer to Prashanthi Nilayam. So he was sending
letters day in and day out. Every week one letter will be on
the table of Bhagawan and He used to observe this person
writing letter again and again to give him a transfer. But
one day it happened that, this particular faculty member
contested in an essay writing competition in Singapore and
got an award of 5000 Singapore Dollars. Just before dinner,
I wanted to convey this message to Swami, thinking that it
would please him to know that one of His faculty members
got a very good award. So I went to Swami and mentioned.
Has he nothing else to do?, Swami asked at a very human
level. Swami, I am not recommending his transfer, but I am
only conveying that he has got an award of 5000 Singapore
Dollars. Swami asked, One Singapore Dollar, how many
rupees?, as if Swami doesnt know what is the exchange
rate. Then I told immediately, Dont you know Swami, You
are asking me though you know it is 36 Rupees. I didnt
like to be trapped in the maya. He knows everything, but he
tries to trap us.
I have recorded many such things. Probably after a few
years I may like to write about these, because there are many
similar interesting things.
I would mention one more instance, about the human
angle. One day there were a number of pickle bottles on the
table 5 or 6 bottles, during the last Dasara festival. These
were different types of pickles. Swami told that one bottle be
given to each one present 5 or 6 of us were there. Srinivasan
got lime pickles. Swami said that Srinivasan bought tonnes of
lime pickles from Tamil Nadu, so he deserved to get only lime
pickles. Then He came to me and said the Vice Chancellor
required some healthy food, so it would be good for you. To
Pandit He gave casurina leaves pickle. In Telugu, the word
means fsh, Swami immediately said, Prof Pandit, you
fellows from Kashmir eat fsh, so you deserve to have this.
Like this, very humorous interactions have taken place, all
of which I have recorded.
The other side of Swami would be evident from the
fact how He is moved by mention of mothers. When I was
inducted as Vice Chancellor on June 10
th
, 2010, during the
function I remembered my mother who had passed away
three years back, and that just came to my mind when I
was about to speak. At that time I could not control my
emotion. I waited for some time and I spoke after I recovered.
I mentioned, I am sure my mother is also watching this
celestial function today through the eyes of Bhagawan in
whom she has merged. Swami started crying literally and
tears were coming out of His eyes. See, at human level how
compassionate He really is.
Presently most of the devotees feel for the physical
absence of our beloved Bhagawan
Personally, it is my belief as a scientist, that He has not
left us. He is here with us, very much with us. I referred
earlier to the aspects of the gross and the subtle. Swami,
I think, can simply manifest in the human form, also He can
make His presense felt in the form of fragrance or vibhuthi,
which indeed is the subtle way. In the gross, He can appear
in His own form itself. I have been reading couple of books
after Swami left His mortal coil. I am fully convinced about
that. I do not know whether I should make a mention of the
book or not, Vishwa Swaroopa Sai written by Irene Watson.
I was just reading that book in between the lines and from
whatever Swami has revealed there, His manifestation in
His own form appears to me totally true. From the scientifc
point of view, when I have analysed, almost everything is
true; because Swami always used to say that students are
His property. When He advised how students should take
over the organization, how they should run it and so on, you
will see that whatever is presented in that book is what is
revealed through her by Swami and between the lines you will
see how true they are. To substantiate it I can tell you how
he can appear in the subtle way. Just before the Grama
Seva I convened a meeting of all the Research Fellows in
the Campus. We were talking to them. They were asking
me one question, do you believe that Swami is with us
today? Then I asked, why do you have that doubt? He is
very much here. Then what is the evidence that He is here
and that He is going to appear? I told them that couple of
times in Sai Kulwant Hall when we sit connected ourselves
to Swami you can feel the fragrance that emanates from the
Sai Sannidhi I dont call it Samadhi, it is Sai Sannidhi.
You can feel the fragrance appearing there. Immediately two
of them asked, Sir, have you observed that? Yes, I have
noted the time then and there. A student immediately asked
me, what is the time and date when you experienced that?
Immediately I indicated that two days when I had experienced
that. When I told him the date and time he said that at
that same time and date he also experienced the fragrance
emanating from Sannidhi. My wife had also experienced
the same, but she did not reveal that to me for several
days because she was also wondering whether this was true
or not. So this indicates that Swami appears in the subtle
form.
Just last week nephew of B.K. Chandrasekar had come
from Singapore. He had not come to Puttaparthi any time,
but he is a devotee of Bhagawan in Singapore doing some
work for the organization there. He came there and he used
to sit everyday in the line and meditate. I was aware, how
deeply he was connected to Bhagawan. One day he came
home , uncle, I want to ask you a question, please clarify.
This is what I experienced there. Is this true or false? Actually
when he was meditating, he closed his eyes and suddenly
he felt some fragrance moving past him from the Yajur
Mandir side. Some fragrance came, and when he opened his
eyes, he didnt see anybody there, but the fragrance started
moving beyond. I asked him what type of fragrance did he
experience. Uncle, it is not perfume sold in the market, but
is something entirely different. Then I told him, you are so
lucky, Bhagawan has appeared before you. This is again to
prove that Swami does appear.
Two days back I was in Mysore. My wife had gone
to Mysore earlier to celebrate the Ayudha Puja. We have a
Blood Bank and the staff over there were cleaning up the
place. When I went to the Blood Bank, a girl working there,
who is a Christian, told me, sir, I want to share something
that happened on the Ayudha Puja day. She was cleaning
the Ganesha statue there and next to that is a photo of Baba,
one of the earliest photos with WHY FEAR WHEN I
AM HERE written on that. While she was cleaning the
statue, she pushed back the photo and suddenly there was
a fragrance emanating from the photo of Bhagawan. She
was not a devotee of Bhagawan but she knew that I go to
Puttaparthi. Twice this happened and she shared this with
other Technicians there. This is again to indicate that Swami
can appear wherever people are spiritually oriented and
get connected to not necessarily His form but to any form
you like. For instance she is a highly devoted Christian.
and Swami appeared to her in the form of fragrance. It is
the universal consciousness all pervasive. Therefore it can
appear anywhere. The moment you connect yourself to the
consciousness, Swami appears for you in one form or the
other. That is something which we should never forget. He
is always there for us and He will be always there.
The other thing I want to share is how Swami is very
particular about what He decides, even though He is Divine,
He is God and Avatar of the Age. After I took over as Vice
Chancellor of the University, He entrusted two things to
me one is the starting of the Muddenahalli Campus, the
other one is the Advanced Research Centre. This project
was initiated even when my predecessor Sri Anil Gokak
was there. He mentioned to me that this should be taken up
immediately. Of course, Muddenahalli Campus, He was so
fond of, probably if I tell this our own people should not
mistake me. At least a dozen times Swami asked, Bangaru,
are you going to start Muddenahalli Campus this time or
not? Swami, it is my duty to start it, I have come for that; I
will do it, it will be started. The same about the Advanced
Research centre. The two projects He was always fond of.
Even though being God of the Age, He was so interested
in science because scientists have many times not accepted
the existence of God. So he wanted an Advanced Research
centre there. At least if they are brought up in an environment
of spiritualism and science combined, scientists may also
have an open mind .
Many friends of mine who are good scientists are
devoted to Bhagawan for the past many years and He has
blessed them and their family even with Akshaya Pathra. It
is in their house and I have seen. But they would not like to
acknowledge that they are devotees of Bhagawan. This is
their dichotomy. As scientists, if they say they are devotees
of Bhagawan who is God, others will look down. But I do
not think so. I can say anywhere in a public speech that
I believe in God and I believe Bhagawan is God. Recently
I went to inaugurate an International Conference on Bio
Molecular Structure in Chennai. There, when I started my
speech by offering my salutations to our beloved Bhagawan,
everyone was dumbstruck. They thought, what is this
scientist doing. I never felt anything unusual. I thought
I should think of Him before I started my speech. Therefore,
why should we have this dichotomy. I believe there is God
and I can share that as a scientist. We should not have any
mistrust.
I have got several personal experiences. One thing I must
say, I believe in total and absolute surrender. This is what
I always perceived.. I can acknowledge that my wife has
total faith and the way she believes in Swami, prompts me to
think that Swami loves me because of her love and affection.
On the frst day when she was entering the interview room
in 2000, Swami asked her, Bangaru, what do you want? I
never believed my own ears. Swami, you are there for us.
You are everything. I dont want anything. She could have
thought about it, but she did not think about it. This always
comes into my mind. This is the reason why Swami loves us
all in the family. That is something which is very touching.
The Compere mentioned about the particles with velocity
greater than light. You know perhaps that the frst one who
predicted this was our own scientist E.C.G Sudarshan, in
The University of Rochester. He named them as tachyons,
the particles that have velocity greater than light. There is
a dispute. They say that they have to confrm it by other
experiments. But still, as a scientist I think that God can do
anything. As scientists we may propose and He can always
dispose. You are wrong, He may say. I know that my
chemistry friends may affrm that if you put two things for
reaction in 1:1, they will get result 1:1. But when you try
to solve the molecular structure, sometimes it will be in the
proportion 1:3 or 1:2. So, even the idea of chemists thinking
1:1 being always will be combine in 1:1 is shattered you
propose it but there is some one else to dispose it. So dont
think that the scientist is going to discover absolute truths.
Science is not absolute many a times.
I was happy to share some of my thoughts with you as
a scientist. I am fully convinced about the Avathar of the
Age and He is the most powerful Avatar ever came to
earth. I have noted some events and sequences, whenever

Ramayana or Mahabharatha episodes were enacted before
Swami. I would sit and watch Him His emotional reactions.
The emotions He exhibited, I used to write in the diary.
He remembers His earlier Avathars also. This is what I used
to think for myself. Therefore I am sure He is going to take
His birth again here and may be some of the youngsters
may have the privilege to be with Him again in the Prem
Sai Avathar.
With these remarks, I thank you once again for your
patient hearing. Jai Sai Ram.
Love can move mountains, cure the sick,

heal the tormented and bring relief when
nothing else can. All problems, great and small,
can be solved through love.

a favourite student of one of the scientists who was a
