Sai Baba the Master - By E.Bhardawaj

[Guest guest]

About this time he again met Sri Malli Reddy who was pleasantly surprised

to hear about his dream experience. He said, “You are blessed indeed! Not

every one can have the darshan of Baba even in a dream. Undoubtedly you

must have been his devotee in your previous life.” Henceforth Sri Kesavayya

started worshipping Baba. Within a short time all his troubles vanished

like mist in sunlight.

 

As days passed devotees started flocking to Sri Kesavayya for succour, and

Baba’s grace reached them through him. Nearly seven years after his

miraculous experience, Sri Kesavayya began sharing the illness of his

devotees in curing them. In 1948 he had an attack of tuberculosis. On 10th

of June he came to Madras for treatment and stayed there for good. Inspite

of his illness he went on curing the sick with the udi of Sai Baba. Doctors

examined him and found that his left lung was completely useless and there

were no indications of any possible cure. Sri Kesavayya himself gave up

hope of his recovery at one stage and made all arrangements for the

subsistence of his family after his impending demise. Having centered his

mind firmly on Baba he lay on his bed calmly, looking at the guru’s

picture.

 

On 29th of April 1949, at about 11.30, Sri Kesavayya clearly saw the

attendants of Death entering his room. Unpertrubed, he said to them

mentally, “You may take me away after securing the permission of Sai Baba!”

At once Baba appeared before him and drove them out. The very next moment

loud wailing was heard from the neighbouring house. An ailing person in

that house had passed away! Sri Kesavayya’s condition rapidly improved. Dr.

Veera Reddy who lovingly attended on Sri Kesavayya had remarkable

experience regarding the latter’s powers of prophecy and soon became one of

his intimate devotees.

 

Many were the mystic visions of Baba with which Sri Kesavayya was blessed.

In one of these, Sai Baba gave him holy water and in another, Baba blessed

him by keeping his hands on Sri Kesavayya’s head. Baba often indicated

coming dangers to him and helped him in tiding the crises.
