Professor G.Venkataraman relates a personal experience with Swami in which
Prema Sai became the topic. Someone offered "a peanut" to Swami who first
refused but later popped one nut into His mouth. He then started giving us one
nut at a time. Everyone put out his hand to receive the Prasadam from Swami and
when my turn came I did the same. But what fell into my hand was not a piece of
groundnut but an enamel billet with some art work on it.
I gave Swami a puzzled look and He said " See what it is" .I tried to see
what was on the billet but could not see clearly since I did not have my
glasses on. Swami then made some teasing remarks and said, " This billet shows
the Cosmic Form of the Lord. Embedded in it are the forms of Shirdi Sai Baba
and Swami. I have left some space for Prema Sai also. Shall I include Prema Sai
also?".
We remained silent, stunned by the experience. He then smiled and said, "
No I shall not include Prema Sai because you faithless fellows would desert Me
and go after Him!". We all laughed."
In 2004, Professor Anantharaman talked about an experience with Howard
Murphet and Swami. "Howard Murphet) then asked what work would Prema Sai do?
Sai said "He will have plenty of work. Prema Sai will elevate human
consciousness to Divine heights. Not only will there be a lot of work but He
will also need a lot of help.
James Sinclair, in 2005, described a series of dreams that, "went on for
years. I saw myself walking up a hill, led by three men in the darkness of
night. One was an old man in white. One looked somewhat like Jesus Christ. The
one in the middle had an orange robe." Fifteen years later, he describes
finding a book about Sai Baba, and seeing his appearance, "recognised that the
recurring dream had been of Shirdi Sai, Sathya Sai, and Prema Sai walking up
the hill night after night for many years.
In John Hislop's My Baba and I, page 55-56, Hislop writes about Swami
materializing a ring for Hislop with Prema Sai on it. The image of Prema Sai on
the ring actually changed its position over the years. Hislop writes,
The stone was a cameo of Prema Sai, the loving Lord of Creation, destined
to appear on Earth a few years after the death of the Sathya Sai Body. It was a
brownish stone, highly glazed, sculptured in profile, the bridge and length of
the nose visible with a suggestion of the arch of the left eye. It was a noble
head with shoulder-length hair, moustache, and beard; the head resting on, or
emerging from, a lotus flower. His countenance was tranquil, peaceful, majestic.
Baba said, "He is only now in the process of birth, so I cannot show more
of him. This is the first time he is shown to the world."
...
Wherever I go, devotees ask to see the ring. ... In a year or so, those
devotees who had seen the ring sometime earlier said something surprising on
seeing it again. They said, "It is turning. The whole nose can be seen now."
My reply was always, in truth, that I could see no change. But they said,
"You see it every day and do not notice."
... One day, [in 1980], at a devotee meeting, I was showing the ring, and
I looked at it carefully. It struck me, "It is different! It is changing!.
Now the entire nose is there and visible, whereas at first the entire
nose was not visible -- or better to say the nose merged into the edge of the
stone and did not appear to be fully visible. But now there is a space between
the nose and the edge of the stone. Moreover, a portion of the left eye can be
seen and also a portion of the left cheek.
