EXPERIENCES

BY SRI S. SUBBA RAO, Pleader, Gooty

 

1. Baba was in the habit of collecting Dakshina (money) from Bhakthas came

to him and was distributing the - same to the deserving poor and the needy.

He has said that this is a way of destroying one's bad karma. A young

swamijee (a Bhaktha of Dattatreya) came to Gooty in the beginning of this

month casually on his way to his disciples' villages for collection: of

money for performing Datta Saptaham at his village Sridharaghatta near

Bellary, I met him and invited him to take milk and fruits in my house.

He was very much Pleased with Baba's Thursday worship in my house. I also

expressed my view that Baba and Datta are one and the same. The next night,

Baba appeared in my dream and placed Rs. 20 in my hands with a

direction, for payment to Swamijee, in the presence of another bhaktha who

on enquiry told me that he had already paid Rs.20 to this Swamijee.

Accordingly, I invited the young Swamijee on the following Thursday at

Pooja time and paid Rs. 20 after explaining my dream and my experience. In

my present circumstance, I would not have paid the above said amount, but

for Baba's timely intervention. Thus Baba, though he has left his earthly

body, still continues his work as he was doing during his physical

existence. Dear Bhakthas, if only one surrenders completely to Him (Baba),

He takes care of him in more ways than one just as he was taking care while

in the physical body. I can give several personal proofs in support of

this.

 

2. I went to Madras for an appeal work in the Madras High Court at my

client's expense. I had not sufficient money to do all that I wanted then.

'I prayed to Baba Baba appeared in my dream and advised ;me to perform'

Satyanarayana Vratam on my return to Gooty. I acted up to the direction of

Baba and got sufficient money for my allotted work.

 

My daughter had some family difficulties to contend with Baba appeared in

her ;dream and suggested the worship of Dattatreya. She immediately took,

the; hint and did it.. Her family anxieties were at an end. Thus Baba has

proved through his Bhaktbas that Baba is also Datta and Satyanarayana.

 

3. As I have almost retired from my profession, whenever I find time, I make

Namajapam of Baba. If; on any day I fail to make namajapam in whole or part,

there is the hand of Baba to' remlnd me to do the self allotted work of

making namajapam. On 14-11-43; I did not do namajapam at 'night as usual.' I

heard a voice in my dream Patri which is the name of the village where Baba

was born. That hint; signified that I should make namajapam Baba takes

meticulous care of our acts and sees to the fulfilment thereof.
