(Colombo Lankapuvath) Did Sathya Sai Baba have premonition 10 years ago that he
would fall seriously ill? Yes, claim his followers. According to them, Sai Baba
had predicted in 2000 that he would be indisposed for 40 days but would come
back strong to give darshan to his devotees.
This was revealed in a book 'Tapovanam — Bhagawan Sri Sathya Saibaba
Satcharitra Nityaparaya-nam' in which the author Jandhyala Venkateswara Sastry
has written an essay on Baba's ill-health. Sai Baba had told his students at
his Sai Shruti ashram in Kodaikanal in 2000: ''Though most of my disciples fall
at my feet, they don't know my real value. A time would come when I would
vanish and take a walk across the skies. During that phase, my body would face
serious health problems and devotees would be desperately praying for my
recovery.''
The Baba goes on to say that several gun-toting cops would be guarding the
premises where he would be hospitalised. As Saturday marked the 27th day of his
stay in the hospital, many devotees said Baba would soon give darshan.
