Experiences of Bhakta: My Reappointment Beyond the Age of 60 Years - B. Ramanadha Rao- (June 1975)

[Guest guest]

What I wish to impress on Sri Sai Devotees is not that I got

reappointment, but how I got it without thought or effort. Many

learned Senior and more ardent Bhaktas than me may contribute

articles on philosophy, slogans on Sri Sai. But it is my humble

opinion that Sai Bhaktas will admire and they will be more attracted

by personal experiences of Bhaktas in which the miraculous hand of the

Mystic Saint has been playing a role, in their daily life and who are at his

LOTUS FEET day in and day out, dedicated and devoted to HIM with their

faith firm as that of HIS rock seat at Shirdi it is my forgone

conclusion that HIS grace will be showered on those devotees and

they will enjoy the fruits of HIS Bliss,

To sum up my experience in this particular instance, I place

before you the following miraculous points as to how Sri Sai weilded the

affairs to help his Bhaktas.

1. A Bhakta who never thought of an appointment beyond 60 years, which he

felt as a closed chapter, was voluntarily offered the reappointment.

2. That Shri P. S Chellappa, IPS, the Chief Security Officer

should remember me even 9 months after my retirement, send , for me and

offer me this reappointment, to whom I am ever grateful and highly

indebted.

3. That the appointment is under the same Officer and in the same office,

from where I retired in 1973.

4. That the Medical Examination should be over within hours on 10-1-74

(Thursday) and I joined duty the same day thus making me earn 6 days wages

as against 5 days, I aimed at.

5. That how Sri Sai, in order to help His Bhakta, who surrendered to HIM,

goes to Railway Board at Delhi, interfere, with the orders for reappointment

from the age of 58 to 60 and extends them to the age of 60 to 62 years,

which the Railway Board itself did not contemplate.

NOTE; Anything that happens to me through Sri Sai Baba, occurs

only on Thursdays. Even my reappointment, for which I joined on

Thursday, was terminated also - on Thursday.

Till this day Sri Sai Baba has kept me in good health, money and comforts,

in that, I should say that HE has blessed me with two square meals a day, a

shelter to live in and a cloth to wear, without ever feeling the dirth, and

enough and more to attend to visitors to my abode HIS K.UTIR. Like Annapurna

(Akshaya-patra) I am satisfied and contented with this and I ask for no more

but salvation at HIS LOTUS FEET,

Bow to Sri Sai! Peace to all! MAY HE BLESS ALL!
