Shri.Hariharan who was working in the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Prasanthi Nilayam used to celebrate his birthday by taking a Kilo of chocolates to Swami, which Swami used to throw to the devotees assembled there, as His blessings to one and all. This was a very common Practise . Bhagawan used to celebrate each and every person's Birthday as His own Birthday and that is why he threw Chocolates to everyone in the Verandah and beyond. Shri.Hariharan was doing this for a number of years, ever since he came to Swami.
Once on His birthday , He as usual purchased a Kilo of chocolates and was to take the same to Swami. At that time his mother told him that as to why he was wasting money to buy so many chocolates. Hariharan told her said that he is following the procedure every year and he will do so this year also. Then he took the plate containing the chocolates and went and sat with the students in the verandah. Hariharan sat in the middle where two other boys sat on either side of him awaiting Swami's arrival. They too carried chocolates. Swami came out, first went to the boy sitting on the left side of Hariharan, blessed him and threw the chocolates around. He smiled at Hariharan and without touching his chocolate went to the boy sitting on his right side, blessed the student, threw the chocolates and straight away went for the darshan line to bless devotees. Hariharan was disappointed but patiently sat in his place in the hope Swami would bless him before He retires after Darshan. Swami came back to the verandah after darshan, gave a look at Hariharan and then took one handful of chocolates from each of the students who were sitting on his sides, threw the same into the plate of chocolates held by Hariharan and told him in Tamil " Unga Amma Kitte kondu poi kodu" - meaning " Give the chocolates to your Mother. Hariharan was amazed how Swami came to know of the dialogue between him and his mother and was shedding tears .Swami told him that His blessings are always there whether one brings chocolates or not.
