Baba's Unique Blessings

By K. N. Narayana Swamy

It was 26th January 1989, the holy Thursday. It was the happy occasion of

the Silver Jubilee of myself and my wife Chi. Sow. Jaya Lakshmi’s wedding.

Needless to say that we worshipped Sai Baba and his apostle H. H.

Radhakrishna Swamiji to our heart's content with pooja, bhajan, arathi etc.

 

During the morning pooja, while I was listening to Sai bhajans with immense

devotion, believe it or not, a poor old man (I consider it a sin to call

anybody a beggar) very much resembling Sai Baba, just appeared at our gate

calling out 'BABA, BABA'. Instantly I got up and took some coins from the

box and a banana and gave alms to the poor old man. He just looked at me

with all grace and quietly walked away without stopping anywhere else. Is it

not the style of Sai Baba appearing before His devotees in different

manifestations and shower His blessings? That moment was so great to enjoy

the blessing experience of Sai Maharaj. It is beyond words.

 

Of course, this poor old man is seen in our colony occasionally and I also

give him small coins whenever he comes across me, but, how in the world he

has come to our gate just on the day and at the time of Sai-pooja and after

receiving the offerings with graceful look left without sloping anywhere

else? That is the wonder of wonders and we are unable to understand and we

can only say: 'it is yet another Sai-leela'.

 

I understand from Sai bandhus that Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji used to refer to

this not as miracle but something always usual with Sai Baba. Though I am

one of the post-Samadhi devotees of Sri Swamiji, he is to me none other than

Sai Baba. Blessed indeed are the devotees of Bangalore who had the privilege

of being at the feet of this great Master.
