Swami is Cosmic Architect

Swami is Cosmic Architect

Baba, being the Cosmic Architect is matchless in the field of Architecture.

After performing the 'Bhoomipooja' (consecration of the site) for the

Administrative Building of the University on 8th October 1981 Baba reached the

Poornachandra Hall to announce that a beautiful building would take shape

within one year. He materialised the design of the proposed building, an

architectural marvel, and handed over the same to Col. Joga Rao who was

supposed to see the same executed in time.

Take the case of Superspeciality Hospital which has been modelled after the

Buckingham Palace by a World famous Architect. But then the building, a jewel

of architectural beauty, has been perfected by a spiritual touch by the Divine

Architect Himself who guided for its finer features.

This has been the case with the several buildings of educational institutions of

Sai which have more of a look of a temple than mere structures of brick and

mortar. The divine touch which makes each building a piece of attraction is

solely His, whether it is college buildings of three campuses or their hostels.

In February 1969 four tribal leaders from NEFA came to Prashanthi Nilayam. They

were accompanied by Shri Boken Ette, Political Assistant, an Architect and a

Deputy Secretary of NEFA. They were called for an interview in the afternoon

alongwith some foreigners and a few from Goa - in all 22. After making them

feel at home with Him, Baba called one by one for personal interview and told

the leaders regarding the difference of opinion that existed among them as to

what should be installed in the proposed temple. Baba at once created a disc of

panchaloha - an alloy of five metals (gold, silver, brass, copper and iron) with

the Sun and the Moon embossed on it with the instruction: 'The disc should be

installed in the temple and should be worshipped on every Sunday and every

Full-Moon day. Light a perpetual oil lamp at the altar.' He also advised them

to desist from making animal sacrifice. Then the Divine Architect, advising on

the plan of the temple, drew an outline,

drawing a circle in front of the central shrine for the tribal dances, much to

the satisfaction of the tribal leaders and to the great surprise of the

Architect. Thus Baba solved their difference of opinion lovingly.

Dharmakshetra of Bombay, an international centre for Sri Sathya Sai activities

was formally inaugurated by Bhagawan on the 12th of May 1968. This magnificent

round structure is a piece of architectural grandeur and was completed in 108

days. The theme of the structure being 'nine' the brahma sankhya (Brahma

Number), the lotus shaped building has 18 petals to enclose the apartments

where Bhagawan would stay. The pillar steps and trellis squares are all in the

multiples of nine.

As Scientist

Baba is not only an Architect but a Scientist and a Doctor too. The Scientist

that Baba is, is summarised in His own words in answer to questions from two

Parapsychologists from New York, namely Erlender Haraldsson and Karlis Osis.

"…..The scope of Science is limited, because it does not go beyond the manifest

world. Science deals with experiments, whereas spirituality deals with

experience and inner vision. I can see matter where the best microscope can

find none.

Even the best doctor needs the help of an X-ray film and results of clinical

tests of blood, urine and stool to diagnose a complicated disease. But I need

none. I can give you the correct diagnosis straightaway."

One day Baba was walking with Dr. Y.J. Rao Professor of Geology. Picking up a

fist-sized granite He asked the Professor what it contained. Dr. Rao gave a

perfect scientific analysis of its contents. When asked by Baba to go further

deep into its composition the Professor explained in much greater details

coming to the level of atoms, electrons, protons, mesons and all chemical

formulae associated with that structure. Baba said "No, deeper still." Rao was

at the end of his wits Baba then took the rock in his hands and blew on it, and

it became an attractive idol of Lord Krishna playing His flute in the thribhanga

pose. Baba told him 'See, God is in this rock. You Geologists have to be

conscious of that; nothing exists without God, apart from God'. It was a lesson

from the Super Scientist who wields the power of creation, preservation and

dissolution.

Dr. S. Bhagavantam who was the Scientific Advisor to the Ministry of Defence,

Government of India said that Bhagawan Baba transcended the Laws of Science. He

did not break them as someone else put it. Truly the laws of science are also

His! Bhagavantam has recorded and had also made public statements to

substantiate this transcendental nature of Baba. He once said: "I was an

eyewitness to a surgical operation which He performed. When it was over He

turned to my son who was present, and asked, 'Have you got a length of

bandage?' As if He who produced from nowhere the knife and the needles could

not produce the bandage cloth! My son replied, 'Yes, Father is the Head of this

Institute of Science; there is a dispensary here; I can telephone to the Doctor

and get a bandage strip in two minutes.' Bhagawan replied, 'Oh two minutes is

too long! Don't worry.' Then He waved His hands and the bandage was ready for

use!

"I cannot expect that He is like you and me and yet He is transcending the laws

of Physics and Chemistry. No, How can it be? The fact is that, He is a

phenomenon…. He is transcendental…. He is Divine."
