Thought of the day !Sai Mandir - South Africa
I grew up in the era of Woodstock the world's greatest rock show on earth. Mahatma Nelson Mandela's journey to freedom commences from Robben Island. America lands a man on the moon, milestone in space exploration. Bill Gates Outlook Express enabled us to share our thoughts with the world in seconds.
Sai Mandir discovered Autumn of 1990, through my colleague Bubbles Reddy from Auckland Park - South Africa.
First trip to Puttaparthi 1985 Shivratri day unknowingly
Second trip 2007 Ganesh Chaturdi unknowingly
Third visit to Puttaparthi February 2008, because what Bhagwan displayed Omnipresently, in my colleague's room in 2007.
My curious little intellect inspired me to travel with three people to Prashanti, to examine Fact from Fable and Hallucination from Reality. I want to assure you, Bhagwan did not disappoint, events were mind-boggling.
Darshan was nutritious, food in the canteens was yummy and citizens of Puttaparthi were charismatic. Indian summer discharge its responsibility with lustre.
The mircale book :
Can this be possible what would be the views of the academy of Sciences?
Omniscience-Omnipresence-Omnipotent.
I shared a luxurious interleading room in the ashram with my colleagues. Shan purchased a book titled Sri Sathya Sai Yuga-Avatara from Prashanti bookstore. He must have read five pages and I probably fifteen.
Must confess don't have the discipline of my colleague Shan. One day he exclaimed we bringing Sai Organization in disrepute, Excuse me Sir Shan.
We return home after a glorious pilgrimage to Puttaparthi. I visit Shan after a month at the Mandir, to chat about our memorable moments. He inquired am I enjoying the book, replied what book, he purchased in Prashanti. I told Him don't have your book.
I was sadden his invaluable material possession disappeared in the House of God. We were the only two in the room when we left the ashram. After having and exciting conversation regarding our trip and learning book mislaid, subdued both of us.
We were standing next to Bhagwans chair in the Mandir. Raising my voice staring at Bhagwans photo, Shan paid 170.00 rupees for the book. I know you have it we want it.
Ten days later Shan calls me at 4.45am on a Sunday morning, the day He does Aum Kar and Suprabhatam with much excitement. Book found on Bhagwans feet showered with Kumkum Vibuti. Bhagwan inscribe the following in the book.
Prema Shakti---Love Baba--Bhakthi.
Third teleportation of Bhagwan I am aware of.
Shan's been the recipient of incredible leelas from Bhagwan. I don't have the permission to write about them, the above story comes after much persuasion.
Composing pure LUV in words is and overwhelming task. I try in my ignorance Baba. If I scribe untruths, they are mine/ If one individual may be inspired by your Truth, that's your unconditional Love.
Aum SAI Ram
Sai Ki Jai Jai Kara
Sathya SAI is omnipresent !
