MOTHER’S GIFT – A SON

"His faith in Baba was confirmed and increased. In due time afterwards, he was

blessed with a son and his joy knew no bounds." Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.XIV.

Sri B Satyanarayana, working in Southern Railways, Chennai, went to Sai Mandir,

Mylapore, Chennai in 1966. There he had the darshan of Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji

also. He went there along with his wife and four daughters. Swamiji blessed him

and asked him "where is your son"? the family of Sri Satyanarayana did not know

what to reply as they had only four daughters and no son. The youngest daughter

was already 10 years old.

They told this to Swamiji and they also told that many astrologers had predicted

that they do not have "Putra Santhanam". On hearing this, Swamiji smiled and

said "I do not know all that. Baba had put the words in my mouth to enquire

about your son. It is for him to do the rest."

Then Swamiji blessed them and gave them udhi. Exactly one year later, a son was born to them.

Highly blessed is who takes part in Baba’s temple construction, see the

following doctrine about the benefits of our participation in a temple

construction work, "You get up, build the dome of the temple, I will give you a

hundred-fold of what you spend" in Sri Sai Satcharitra Ch. XLVII.

Here is Baba’s prediction coming through after His Mahasamadhi.

Sri Gummadalli Lakshminarayana of Secunderabad used to go to Shirdi when Baba

was alive and had darshan of Baba many times. On one occasion, Baba told G.

Lakshminarayana, "You build a temple of Lakshminarayana". G Lakshminarayana

asked what the cost would be. Baba said 6 lakhs. G Lakshminarayana was aghast

as he did not have that much money as he was an ordinary merchant, at that

time. G Lakshminarayana, thought it was a joke made by Baba. But within two

years his business flourished to such an extent that he could spare 6 lakhs for

the construction of the temple. By this time Baba attained Mahasamadhi. G

Lakshminarayana obeyed the direction of Baba, and constructed a Lakshminarayana

temple at Secunderabad costing about 6 lakhs. The temple is still maintained and

managed by G Lakshminarayana’s children.
