When Sri Sathya Sai sent His Birthday gift for a cat…
Thursday, November 23, 1972
Sri Sathya Sai in the Prasanthi Nilayam Bhajan Hall
Swami granted an interview to 60 devotees from Guwahati in the Bhajan Hall at
Prashanti Nilayam on 23rd November, 1972. He gave them a Discourse and
distributed packets of Vibhuti to each one of them. To one particular lady,
Lakhi, He gave extra packets of Vibhuti and told her, “These are for the cat”.
Lakhi initially did not understand what Swami meant. A little later, she
recollected an incident that took place in her house at Guwahati 6 months back.
During a feast at home her pet cat Minkie suddenly pounced on the dining table
to bite a fish preparation. Astonished by her pet’s misbehaviour in the
presence of her guests, she lashed Minkie with a stick. At that particular
moment when she lashed the cat, all photos of Swami hanging on the wall fell
down with a loud bang. All other photos remained intact. Shaken with penitence,
she rushed to the cat, and held it in her hands. There was a shower of fragrant
Vibhuti on its body. The Vibhuti was unmistakably Swami’s. Lakhi wept her heart
out to Swami in repentance. The cat’s wounds soon healed. Now after 6 months,
Swami in His unbound compassion gave extra packets of Vibhuti for the same cat
thus proving His Omnipresence.
