Below is a beautiful experience of a Sai Student on how he came to Swami's Divine Fold...A Wonderful experience that all of us have had to come to His Divine Lotus Feet.. As a teenager in Bombay I was the only member of my family who refused to see Swami. All members of my family were devotees. When my mother used to ask me to me to come to Swami, I used to walk up to the picture of Swami and turn it around and say, “If he is God let him turn himself around.” My mother would shake her head and walk away. I went to a college in Bombay, did many things, except studies. But I always felt a ‘vacuum,’ incompleteness…I would often sit by the sea, near a temple, and cry, ‘God wherever you are help me.’ Unknown to me, my brother, fascinated by the college students he had seen in Brindavan, filled and filed a college admission application …he forged my signature. I had finished one year of college in 1978 when I received a telegram. I still remember it as a Thursday in June. The telegram was informing me that I could come for an admission interview. When I received the telegram, I didn’t know what had happened. I was not into Swami. I had had darshan of Swami during Sivaratri in 1978 when I had to escort our neighbor’s son. I remained unmoved after darshan. I don’t know what happened but I cried on receiving the telegram. My father was getting ready for work. I told him that I was going to Swami’s college. He expressed a gentle surprise, “Is that so? Ok,” and nonchalantly left for office. I packed the few white clothes I had, and left for Bangalore. I returned to Bombay twelve years later in 1990.
