Ms. Indira Devi

narrates her first meeting with the Omnipresent in human frame…as

extracted from Sanathana Sarathi, August 1967

I had never heard of

Him before although I still was in Bombay during the first 3 days of His

visit there. In retrospection, I am glad things happened the way they did,

as otherwise I would not have gone to Puttaparthi to see Him if I had met

Him at Bombay. I had first heard of Him only when I stopped off at Adyar,

Madras, from Howard Murphet. When, after returning from Saigon to India, I

was finally on my way to Puttaparthi, I kept asking myself, why am I going

to see Him. I was, after all, not in need of any help or in search for a

guru; but the Inner Voice calling me there was so strong that I could not

disobey it.

It was a hot April

afternoon when I arrived in Prasanthi Nilayam. I was given a room where

Gabriella Steyer, a Swiss school teacher sweetly took care of me. She had

spent a year and a half there. Listening to her experience during her stay

there was like listening to a fantastic fairy-tale. She had witnessed many

miraculous cures. She had seen Him multiply food, taking from the air any

object He wished to give to His devotees and even produce Amrita by

squeezing His hand and giving it to drink to about 500 people without

refilling the vessel. Gabriella was not tired to go on with her stories,

and I was not tired to listen to them. Finally she suggested that we go to

sit outside the Mandir doorsteps. Then Baba appeared in the doorway. Except

for the bright orange colour of His robe and the thick crop of His hair

standing like a black halo round His head, He did not at all resemble the

photographs of Him I had seen. His tiny, slim figure and finely cut

features were exactly the opposite of the way He looks in photographs.

“May be, He

will see you tomorrow morning before you leave, " whispered Gabriella.

A few minutes later, Sri Sathya Sai Baba appeared on the upper balcony and

looked down. Our eyes met. Suddenly my heart began beating violently. I was

called in for the interview. As I stood up I felt I was growing taller and

taller. If Gabriella and other girls had not supported me, I would have

fallen down upon entering the interview room, as I did not any longer feel

the floor under my feet. Some one switched on the fan, but I was not

feeling hot or faint.

" I don't know

why I have come here, " were my first words. " I was already in

Saigon on my way home but the pull was so strong that I had to come and see

You. " I also told Him about our Yoga Centre in Tecate and showed Him

some pictures. " You must come there, Swami, " I said. He took my

hand in His and tapped it three times, stating, “I say three times I

shall come. I will keep My promise. " I told Him that I was guided here

by Swami Vivekananda, who, so I was told by two clairvoyants, is my

protector and guardian on the other side. At the end of our interview He

asked me what I wanted. " Jyoti, " I answered, " since I want

to start a crusade for " Light in Darkness. " He made movements

with His hand in the air and handed me a bright little image of Himself.

And, although I had been told by the Murphets about His way of taking

things from the air, yet seeing it happen with my own eyes did something to

me. I kept looking at the little medallion with wonder, when He took it

back saying, " Wait, I'll give you some Vibhuti too. " A light

movement of His fingertips and the ashes poured over the little image like

a snowfall. Overwhelmed, I had to joke it off in order not to break into

tears. " Don't make it disappear now, " I said " No, no, if I

gave it to you...... " " I am only joking " . And we both

laughed.

" Call Me

whenever you need Me and my Grace. I shall be with you, " were His

parting words.
