Many few years back Bhagavan had come to Abbotsbury during his Madras
visit. Both Mrs. K.B. Sundarambal and Mr. Pichandi Iyer went to see Bhagavan.
But they were sent out by those present there telling them that they could not
see him. After waiting outside for sometime, they came again to see Bhagavan.
Those who were there, said "You have come again?" and were trying to send them
out. But Bhagavan himself came towards them. On seeing Bhagavan, Mrs. K.B.S
said, "Now I have discovered the Lord Murugan for whom I have been searching
for so many years through songs" and prostrated before him. Bhagavan asked her
to sing and enjoy her songs. Then Swami waved his hands in front of the eyes of
Mr. Pichandi Iyer who was nearby. Iyer could not understand anything. Those who
were nearby asked Mr. Pichandi to remove the spectacles. Now this octogenarian
claims that even his son's eyesight is not as clear as his. Our Bhagavan is the
most beloved God who gives Eyes.
A Grand march past of the Samithi members took place at Parthi during the
60th Birthday celebrations. Mrs. Sakunthala was among the participants. As her
husband was not well, she was saying that she would leave Parthi immediately
after the march past. On seeing her at Parthi on the next morning, I asked her
why she did not leave. She said," When I was ready for leaving, they told me
that Baba would be giving sarees for all those who took part in the march past.
You also please stay back and go after taking the sarees from his hands," they
asked her. So she stayed back to take the saree. But now I am leaving
immediately. The reason for his sudden change, was that Bhagavan appeared in
her dreams on that night and asked, "why did you not start yet? The saree which
you ware wearing now also was given by me". Bhagavan showed her all the gifts
like Ghodhanam and Bhoodhanam which took place on the birthday that she could
not witness. Look at the special interest Bhagavan takes in every individual's
case. Is there anything that we have to take from him when our very existence
in healthy condition itself is due to his grace on us, if we can realise him
who dwells within us?
A big beautiful temple's watchman is a Sai-devotee. He used to do his
duty during the early part of the night up to twelve midnight and go to sleep
up to four o'clock in the morning after handing over the duty to the next
guard. Afterwards he used to water plants in the garden around the temple. One
day he had overslept up to five o'clock. The telephone bell rang. He rushed to
it after waking up. A lady's voice informed "Five o'clock" and the receiver was
hung up at the other end. Like this, whenever he failed to wake up, this voice
had never missed to inform the time. Bhagavan who always reminds us of our duty
says, "you think about me only sometimes. But I am always thinking about you".
The Nalini-Sudhakar couple are Sai devotees. Both of them were travelling
in a car. Even then, both of them were discussing about Bhagavan. All of a
sudden, a hand appeared before their car, in the form of "Abhaya hastham"
(Saviour Hand) above the wrist. Next second, they heard only a deafening sound.
They did not know what had happened. On regaining their consciousness both of
them were lying on the roadside. When they went to see, the car in which they
were travelling was smashed to pieces by a collision with a lorry. The
omnipresent and omniscient Lord had saved them by raising his Saviour Hand at
electric speed. Is there anybody who is not moved on seeing his raising hands
towards one during darshan at Parthi?
Mr. Dharmakula Raja of Srilanka did not anything about Baba, as he was
born and brought up in London. He came to India and married t a Sai family. On
Indu's compulsion, he accompanied her to Parthi. He was sitting in the dharshan
queue without either belief or liking. At that time "Akhanda Bhajan" was in
progress. Bhagavan came near to him with his one hand in raised position for
blessing, and then other hand tapping on the thigh. One raised hand appeared as
Two Hands of Dharma Kularaja. Whatever and however he tried, he could not see
it as one hand. Hesitating to reveal this, he asked his wife as to how many
hands she saw. She saw one hand only.
OUR LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE.
