The 'stranger' at Prashanti Nilayam

It was another day at Parthi, evening Bhajan was over and Swami retired for the

day. Some of the students were sitting near the Mandir and praying in front of

the Mandir hall. One of the students who was standing near the door finished

his prayer and about to go back. When he finished his prayer and turned back to

go a strong hand held his arm and stopped him. To the student's surprise the

person who stopped him was a stranger and the former never saw this personality

before in Parthi. The stranger told him why are you in a hurry wait now Swami

would come out. The perplexed student said, I am in Parthi for more than five

years and I never saw nor heard that Swami would come out in the evening once

He retired for that day. The stranger smiled at him affectionately and told if

you are interested in seeing I would love to show you Bhagawan. The boy

accepted immediately and held the stretched hand of the stranger.A few minutes

passed by. The closed doors open and to the astonishment of this young lad

Bhagawan, who the young boy declared never come after evening Bhajan was over,

came through the door. The boy wanted to rush to the front, as usual with all

the boys, but could not move away from his place. The stranger was stoic, and

did not move either. Swami moved with his usual slow motion looking all

directions and blessing the people around. Swami walked straight and crossed

the boundary of Mandir. Usually Swami does not cross the Mandir boundary by

walk. If He crosses He crosses only by car. When the boy was watching Bhagawan

with utter amazement it suddenly struck that no one had noticed Swami, everyone

was doing one's duty or activity as if Bhagawan was not around. That means, a

strange chill wind blew through the boy. Bhagawan was not visible to the naked

eye. Also the boy realized that because of the stranger the boy could see

Bhagawan with the naked eye. Swami went around all the shops, canteen,

Bookstore etc and came back to enter the Mandir. This was revealing to this

young boy. Once Swami went inside the room the stranger released the hand of

the boy and smiled at this young boy.The boy could gradually recovered from his

shock and asked 'May I know who you are and How you know that Swami would come

out today'. The stranger said 'It is not only today everyday Bhagawan comes in

this form and walks around the place. Today you could see as He willed it. I am

one of His disciples. Beyond this I am not allowed to say', saying this the

stranger walked off.This kind of things happens very frequently in Parthi.

People say many Sadhakas come to see Bhagawan and after having Dharshan go

away.This is a fact and I heard the story from a person who heard from the

student long back.

is a leela between a bhakta & bhagwan.Bol bhagwan Sai Baba ki
