Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Continuing the stories about the Indian Avatar Sathya Sai Baba whose materialisation miracles have been covered in your column I witnessed some of these myself. But in my opinion Sai Baba's greatest miracle is his ability to cause transformation in our hearts and to awaken our natural divinity. I went to India this year to see Sai Baba with a group of followers. On 20th January I saw him materialise a gold and diamond watch for a young devotee. He then took another devotee's steel ring from his finger and blew on it. We saw it change into a diamond ring. Baba recently also materialised a small Bible containing facts about Jesus. Tears of joy flooded my eyes to see such wonders. Later I witnessed another marvel. I saw a statue of Sai Baba- as his first incarnation as Shirdi baba - drink milk from a little pot which was offered by the Hindu priest. In India this is called the abhishekam ceremony and your readers may remember how this hit the headlines sometime ago when statues, even brass statues, from all over the world started drinking milk. These miracles are interpreted as proof that the formless God can also take form. The statue of Baba that I saw drinking milk was five feet high and made of solid marble. There was no hollow for the mouth. As it drank the milk I could hear it slurp. It drank half a pot every day.
