This particular incident took place in 1991 during the Sports and Cultural Meet 
the Sathya Sai Hill View Stadium. The End Programme was a very Difficult Motor 
cycle stunt which included a student jumping from an elevated ramp to another 
elevated ramp which are of 6 feet high and are seperated by 5 feet distance. 
Jumping from one ramp to another was not a big deal as the Student had 
practised long and hard . 


To impress the audience and to show their valor to none other than Bhagawan 
Himself students thought of adding fire in between the ramps. Well, Students 
had practiced this feet without fire in between the ramps, and wanted to have 
real stunt on the final day. Now the stunt started. The ramps were setup and 
the fire was lit. 


Now Anil Patle of the 1989 - 1991 batch MBA student started on his bike. When 
he was approaching the ramp the fumes and smoke became so thick he could not 
see the ramp on the second side. People from both sides of the ramps had no 
problem in seeing the ramps. Anil did not want to stop and thus generate great 
disappointment to Swami and to himself. He recollected his heroics during the 
practice and filling Gods name and thoughts in his heart jumped over. Perfect 
takeoff. He zoomed through the flames and landed on the second ramp as 
expected. Great applause. 


Swami was till the on the verge of the seat got up and started clapping. 
Everyone was so happy and as usual all the students who participated in the 
event went for Bhagawan's padanamskar. Swami patted this boy and said 
"Dunnapotha, Look at the
ramp and jump do not push everything on God" chided lovingly.


The next morning Swami got the photographs of the motor stunt. He came over to 
our hero in question and showed the photograph. In that one shot was taken when 
the vehicle was landing. The picture was so vivid that only the front wheel was 
touching the ramp and the back wheel was already going down in the fire. Anyone 
can understand that Anil reached early and no way he could make it to a safe 
feat without a back lift from Bhagawan. Then Anil understood the meaning of 
what Bhagawan said while taking padanamaskar. 


Swami always takes care of us at all times whether He is Physically with us or 
not..


Sai Ram
