Sai Apostle - Late Sri Sangamesan

[Guest guest]

Chennai-earlier Madras-was and is a center of industrial activity, apart from

being the capitol of southern state Tamilnadu. In addition to producing wealth,

Chennai is equally a fulcrum for spirituality and music. A frail thin short

black skinned accountant was one of those who inspired every one with his utter

devotion and surrender to Shirdi Saibaba. His name is Shri U.Sangamesam. He

weighed about eighty-five pounds and worked as a Junior Accountant for "The

Hindu", one of the well-known Newspapers of India. When I first knew him, he

was staying in a small garage type of room, two houses from Sri Sarvepalli

Radhakrishnan, former President of India and great philosopher. His neighbor,

my classmate and friend Sri Bommakanti Subbarao introduced me to him. He lived

in that small room with his wife and two children, half is dedicated to the

sanctum sanctorum- Shirdi Sai Baba's puja room. The moment he woke up till he

went to his office and from time he

came home and slept, he spent his time in doing puja of Baba and also help any

devotees who came to him with tales of suffering and distress. Not a cent was

collected even for puja material apart his accepting any money though he was

quite poor.

A Sai devotee shares his experience with Sri Sangamesan that happened several

years ago, "My eldest son got a seat in I.I.T.Madras and at the same time, it

came about in an X-ray that he had aortic valve leakage. The head of Cardiology

in Royapettah hospital told my wife and me that he has only a few more months to

live. We were completely down with utmost worry and anxiety. At that stage, I

met Sri Sangamesan. He immediately gave us all sympathy and went on doing puja

to Shirdi Sai by doing Sahasranamam and told me after meditating some time that

Baba told him that there need be no worry and every thing will be okay. Every

time any body went ,he did the same. In his meditation, Baba used to give him

messages, which would appear to him, and he will note them down and tell us

when we visit. We used to visit regularly and he used to give all other

devotees and us messages of Baba. Till his death, he did this seva (service) to

others. Later he built his

house near Vijaya hospital and stayed ,but never failed to help other devotees,

in their problems. At one time he told us that we need not worry about our

dying later and my son will look after our deaths. I may mention that my son

with Baba's blessings, is quite fine in health and is now a vice-president of a

big company in U.S.A. and looking after his parents’ welfare as predicted by Sri

Sangamesam. May such devotees doing unselfish seva flourish".
