ANÉKA – ROOPA ROOPÂYA (ASSUMING NUMEROUS FORMS)

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram,

This incident that I read in Swami's Thapovanam always brings a smile

along with an envy on those hostel boys of Brindavan. Thought would

share it and multiply the joy.

 

Enjoy this fantasic leela of our ever-loving and humourous Swami.

=======

It happened around 1988. There were about 1400 students in the hostel

of Swami's College in Brindavan at White Field near Bangalore.

Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai visited the hostel one night. The delighted

students respectfully stood in His presence. Suddenly the electricity

went off. In the darkness, Swami moved quietly towards a boy and

whispered to him in his ears, " Athul, I will give you something. Hold

your hand. " The boy extended his open hand and Swami placed a laddoo

in it. He further whispered to the boy, " Don't show it to anybody.

Put your hand behind you. " Suddenly the electricity was restored,

Bulbs came back to life. Athul looked around. Surprisingly, all the

1400 boys assembled there were keeping their hands behind them.

Everyone was having a laddoo in his hand. That is Swami! We get

astonished at the amazing leelas. Our reasoning power abandons us,

tongue fails us, mind refuses to function; nothing can be understood.

How can we comment upon, much less explain, such displays of Swami's

divine sport?
