Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 holy shrine at Tirumala standing very close to the Lord's feet. Bhagavan Baba came out of the idol and said in His mellifluous voice, 'Look, I am here!' and then merged back into the idol. As I got up, I felt a spring of unearthly joy burst forth from my heart and Shelly's beautiful words, 'was a dream or a vision? were echoing in my ears." to stay in a place When Chakravarti was transferred from Anantapur to Hyderabad as the Director of Textile with statewide jurisdiction in July 1976, he was sad that his weekly visits to Prashanthi Nilayam would come to an end. In spite of a temptation to continue to stay in a place close to the ashram, he decided to leave for Hyderabad since he believed that he had no right to demand any specific post or place from the government. Bhagavan granted him and his wife the boon of staying very close to Him for a fortnight at Prashanthi Nilayam as well as at Brindavan prior to their shifting to Hyderabad. Also Baba assured them,"There is no need for you to worry that you have lost one link with Me. In the place of one link, I will give you ten!" and so it proved to be! There was a school in Hyderabad- Sri Sathya Sai Vidha Vihar-started by Bhagavan. It was housed in the ground floor of a palatial mansion on the top of a hill, which commanded a majestic view all around. The first floor of the building was unoccupied. Baba blessed Sudha Chakravatri, who held Master's degree in Economics and a post-graduate Diploma in Social Service, with the opportunity to serve His cause as the Director and Correspondent of the School and asked Chakravarti and his family to reside in the first floor of the building. They were highly moved when Bhagavan told them. "All these years you have lived in a rented house building and now you can reside in your own House!" Bhagavan stayed with them in that mansion during His two visits to the city at that time. During the period of their stay at Hyderabad, they experienced many wonderful signs of His presence and grace, which chakravarti views 'mere manifestation of normal exercises of the very intrinsic power of the Divine." Of course, they never missed their monthly visits to have the darshans of their Lord eighter at Prashanthi Nilayam or Brindavan. In 1977, Chakravarti went to Mussorie for an orientention course. One evening around eight o'clock, towards the end of the course, while he was getting ready to go out for a get-together, he had a black out in the toilet. When he became conscious , there was severe pain in the chin; the mirror revealed a chin ripped open and bone jutting out. He was taken to Dehradoon; the gash on the chin was stitched and a bandage was put around his head. He did not want to inform his wife about the injury lest she might get worried. Exactly at the same time on the evening of the mishap as Sudha Chakravarti was playing with the dogs at the house, her "mangalasutram" snapped and fell down. She got worried about the safety of her husband. Her first thoughts went out to Bhagavan and she remembered His assurance to her in the first interview. She booked trunk call to Prashanthi Nilayam- as there were no direct dialing facilities at that time-to talk to Kutumba Rao and submit her fears to Baba. She got the telephone connection immediately and could talk to Kutumba Rao even as he was going out to meet Baba for the last time in the day. Within an hour, she got the message of assurance from the Lord- "Do not worry, Swami is always with Chakravarti. He is in and around him. No harm will befall him. Don't take any sleeping pills!.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Anantapur. That was within a year of his first darshan of Baba at the PRASHANTHI NILAYAM. That experience shines in his heart Eveen today as one of his most precious treasures. He recollects, " I found myself in the holy shrine at Tirumala standing very close to the Lord's feet. Bhagavan Baba came out of the idol and said in His mellifluous voice, 'Look, I am here!' and then merged back into the idol.
