PROF KASTURI AND CALCUTTA STORY...

June 12, 2007

Prof Katsuri and Puttaparthi Calcutta story There was a lady in Kerala, who had only one son. He got a job in Calcutta. He got married. He was worried because it was a far off place, and went with his wife to live. He lived there in a flat on the 8Th or 9Th floor and was happy with his job. He was employed in some company, as accountant and after some time some inspectors came to check and found missing of funds in his company and he was discharged. He was terribly upset, because he got such a bad name early in his career, and wrote a letter to his wife, “Don,t think of me any more” and left the house. The poor wife had no one to console her, or help to find out where he had gone. She telephoned his mother, The mother was a devotee of Swami, but not the son. He was commenting on Swami. The mother wrote a letter to Swami, that was the only thing she knew and could do, she

was a a poor old lady and could not go to post office. So she put the letter below the photo of Swami in her house and prayed for his son’s life. That was her post-box. And see what happened to this young man, Arvind his name? He wandered about, because even suicide is problem, not easy! One has to search for some river or a deep well, escape from friends possible

saviors! Law says if one failed in his attempt, he is charged by police, because it is crime. If wants to die he should’t survive the death attempt! If he survives he will be punished. The only thing this young man could do was to jump into the Ganges from the Howrah Bridge, and drown himself. So he came early morning and he was about to jump into the Ganges, when some one shouted in his ear, “Don’t jump” “Don’t jump” Don’t die, come to puttaparthi.”He could not resist because voice was hitting him like anything. This man had heard from his mother. He went railway station nearby and purchased a ticket to Bangalore. He told later, that he could not sleep in the train and could not think of anything except Puttaparthi. He said when the wheels of train were moving he

could hear “Puttaparthi! Puttaparthi! And when the train moved slowly the sound comes Putta-parthi, Putta-parthi!.He could not sleep because it was ringing puta-parthi He reaced Bangalore, and he wanted to purchase a ticket to Penukonda. But the clerk at the counter knew that he was going to Penukonda only... The clerk said are you going to see Swami! then to go to Puttaparthi to see Swami, but your Baba is here in

Whitefield. But , it was Puttaparthi which was resounding in his ear all through. So he said”I want to do to Puttaparthi, please give me a ticket to Penukonda. He reached Penukonda, and from there he came to Puttaparthi. Swami who was in Whitefield, suddenly arrived in Puttaparthi on the same day at 6.30 in the evening. Kutumba Rao ran up to him and all others. They asked Swami why he had come without information. Then Swami said No...I have come to take a few bags of rice to Bangalore for summer course! Prof Kasturi and others were surprised , why should Swami Himself comes to take few bags of rice? He could have sent someone or even a phone call would have been enough. All were wondering why He had to come! There must be some reason. Next morning this man Arvind was in Darshan line. Swami said “Yeah! Calcutta” and asked him to go into the interview and chided him. “What is foolish thing you have done? Do you know the feeling of your mother and wife? I will see that nothing happens to you. I will also see that you are transferred. You need not go back to Calcutta. There is a branch office of your company in Madras's and I will see you are transferred to Madras's so that you will be nearer to your place. Swami told him that He would go back to Whitefield and asked him to stay here for nine days. Why nine days ? Swami had other plans! This man Arvind was left with very little money which would be in two days, He had to stay 9 days and wanted money. So he sent a telegram to his friend in Delhi, asking him to send money, giving address as “Arvind, Big Shed, Prashanti Nilayam.” The mother and wife not knowing what happened to him or where he was, were in anxiety and agony. That friend in Delhi who received his telegram for money, immediately informed the mother that he was in Puttaparthi in the Big shed. Within those nine days mother, wife, others came here. That was Swami’s

strategy of informing mother and wife. They were very happy to see him here. Prof kasturi heard the whole story from his mother and wife. So, pray to Him in any language, or put a letter anywhere, He will know because He is everywhere. Sai Ram (Sharing with Sai Love) Ram.Chugani Ram ChuganiKobe, Japanrgcjp
