Bhagawan gives Darshan of Lord Subramanya - Muruga the to Bhatt Family of Mysore.. Below is the story as published in Tapovanam
Lord Subrahmanya Swamy was the family deity of the Bhatt family of Mysore. In 1943, Mrs Bhatt was diagnosed to be suffering from cancer. Doctors advised a surgical operation but her mother-in-law did not agree. She insisted that as they were all ardent devotees of Lord Subrahmanya, the Lord would surely take care of the patient. For six long months, the family stuck to their intense and steady faith and continued with their daily worship. But the patient's condition was worsening. One night, she had a dream in which she saw a great serpent moving around her bed. Alarmed, she woke up her mother-in-law. Lights were switched on but found nothing. But after some time, the patient again dreamt of the same serpent, which, in a moment, changed to Lord Subrahmanya. He pierced her chest with His trident. Thus impaled, she was taken to the top of a mountain peak. She fell at the feet of the Lord who asked her whether she wished to remain there or to return to her family. She replied that she would prefer to go back to her husband and children. The Lord then told her, "You are fully healed. I will always be protecting you." She saw herself being returned to this world by a narrow, beautiful stairway. The dream was vivid and reassuring. >From that day onwards, her health steadily improved and soon became normal. Even while she unfailingly did her daily worship, she found time also to serve the poor and the needy to the best of her ability. Twenty years later, that lady and her husband went to Puttaparthi and had the darshan of Bhagawan for the first time. Swami gave them an interview. He told her, "I spoke to you twenty years ago." She was taken aback and protested, "No, Swami. This is the first time I am seeing you." But Swami told her, "No, I came to you when you were in Mysore." He also mentioned the name of the street where they were staying in Mysore during her illness. She wondered. The name of the street was of course correct. But when did Swami come there? When did He speak to her? She had no recollection. Then, she noticed the staircase leading from the interview room to Swami's room located on the upper floor. She counted the steps. They were eighteen in number; they were narrow and beautiful. When did she see them before? She suddenly remembered to have seen them in her dream two decades ago. They were the same steps, which Lord Subrahmanya had returned her down to this world. In a moment, before she could recover from her wonderment, Swami waved His hand and materialized a beautiful figure of Lord Subrahmanya Swamy, adorned with ornaments of serpents and seated on a chariot. He placed that image in her grateful hands. She realized that the ever-merciful Sai Baba was the same as Lord Subrahmanya Swamy who was worshipped at their home every day. She washed Baba's Lotus Feet with her copious tears of exquisite happiness. Lord Subrahmanya Swami stands today by the side of His Divine elder brother, Maha Ganapathi, in Prashanti Nilayam. The Divine Idol was installed there by Bhagawan on 21st September 1997. OUR LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE Sai Ram __._,_.___ Attachment(s) from mannar krishna 1 of 1 Photo(s) Sai Muruga.jpg
