From THE HEART OF SAI BY R LOWENBERG OF 57 Main Rd. Whitefield India 560066................................................................................................At age 49, when Curth's body was weakened beyond the ability of the doctors who saw no hope for his recovery, he decided to cut down on his engagements and instead build up the strength of his body. This, he says, was an intuitive feeling that for some reason not known to him then, he would require a strong healthy body.Using the tremendous mind power which was his possession from his early childhood, in three years he had built up a body taht would take an ordinary young man 10 years at least. With the aid of this power of the mind he had developed a massive body and vast strength. Various magazine reporters, mainly in the field of sport, now interviewed him.The writers were highly

impressed with the results he had achieved in weight lifting, and they wrote about him as being one of the strongest men in Sweden. Other news media were also on to him to make news out of his phenomenal strength. However, he rejected this kind of large scale publicity, as he knew that this was not the purpose for which he had built up his body.When Curth came to Puttaparthi for the first time at the end of December, 1979, Swami opened up his Chakras, enabling him to raise the Kundalini, so that he could then go into even deeper meditation and trance.Having been given these powers by Swami, he realized that this was in fact the reason why he had built up his body. It was so that he would be able to take the strain of the rising kundalini. From THE HEART OF SAI BY R LOWENBERG OF 57 Main Rd. Whitefield India 560066On arrival at Brindavan at the end of March 1980, Swami called Curth in for an interview almost every day. He told him that he had been with him in past incarnations and that He would give Curth different powers, one of which would be healing power. Curth now began to feel intuitively that different powers were developing in him. In deep prayer he asked Swami if he could use these powers for helping people in distress, as many people had been approaching him for help. "Yes do that" was the answer, and Curth did so. At a later interview Swami confirmed having talked to a sick woman through Curth, commenting "You do good work" Curth has now been ahppy to accomplish several missions of this nature.It is quite amazing to see this massively built man go into deep meditation and trance, while seated on a chair at Brindavan. He would

return to consciousness with a shock and throw out his hands and legs, as I once discovered when seated in front of him. He let out a startled shout and struck me in the back. These sudden returns to the earthly realm embarrassed Curth and he asked Swami to help him to return more gradually. Many a time he would be in deep trance, while Swami was giving darshan, and would only come out of the trance when Swami had already passed his chair. At that stage Curth was doing meditation for ten hours at a stretch on certain days. Many nights he did not sleep at all.Curth was setting a perfect example to us at darshqan by sitting and 'going inside' as he put it. More or less in his own words he said, "Why do people sit at darshan looking around, some reading, some talking, others writing. This Mandir is a temple. We come her to worship Sai Baba. It is our duty to sit quietly and pray. Then we should ask ourselves. "Who am I? Who am I?" This "Who am I?"

soon becomes Aum Aum Aum and slowly we learn that "I am He". Baba will then appear before our inner eye and then we will see Him in our hearts. "I actually see Him in my heart" says Curth. "I see the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels, and I see Baba moving around in my heart. This way we can always have His darshan. Surely this is worth striving for." from THE HEART OF SAI by R Lowenberg 57 Main Rd. Whitefield India 560066While at Brindavan Baba materialized a beautiful gold ring for Curth and a day or two later a gorgeous oblong shaped locket, with a gold frame, showing Sai Baba sitting in a shell on the sea. "This I give you so that you can see how I always am sitting in your heart."Curth said that what Baba had done for him in opening the chakras might have taken him 20 years or more to do by work and discipline on his own. Many yogis work for years and years to attain this end, but never succeed in raising the kundalini. On May 12th, Curth and Sisko left for Bombay and Sweden. On the third of June, 1980, I was delighted to receive a detailed account from Sisko of their experiences on the second trip to Baba and I will let her tell the story in her own words. "Report on our 2nd Visit to Sai Baba March 18, May 12 1980"March 18 we arrived in

Bangalore and stayed at the Ashoka Hotel and learnt the same evening that Sai Baba had arrived in Whitefield the same day. The 19th we went by taxi to both darshans in Brindavan, But Sai Baba did not show up at all. Richard and Dean, Sai Baba devotees from USA, whom we had met in Puttaparthi, came and welcomed us, happy to see us and helpful in all possible ways. The 20th, at the afternoon darshan, Curth got the first contact with Sai Baba. Sai Baba saw Curth. The 21st at morning darshan, Sai Baba spoke to Curth: asked where we were staying.. when we had arrived etc. and said "I shall see you tomorrow". The 22nd in the morning, Sai Baba of course kept His promise. He gave Curth a wonderful gold ring with a colour picture of Himself. The happiness at the reunion was enormous and Sai Baba patted Curth msny times. Alone in the inner room, Sai Baba told how He all the time had been with Curth, had developed him and amongst others how He twice had been with

him in a dream. He confirmed experiences that Curth had had in Stockholm but which he at that time had felt to be so fantastic that he could not be sure they were real and therefore had not told anyone about them, not even Sisko.For instance, Sai Baba confirmed the reality of a vision where Curth had seen himself together with Shirdi Baba in a temple, where many people were gathered. Curth stood beside Shirdi Baba who smiled at him and spoke to the people. Suddenly Sai Baba appeared beside Shirdi Baba smiling at Curth. Then He merged with Shirdi Baba and said to Curth "You see, we are the same". A number of these experiences from Stockholm are still 'untold'. Sai Baba said "you shall stay here with me and I shall develop still more powers in you." He asked us to come the next day at 9 o'clock. from THE HEART OF SAI by R Lowenberg.. on Curth Orefjard .. published at 57 Main Rd. Whitefield India 560066After the morning darshan we moved from Ashoka to Shilton Hotel, on the recommendation of our friend Richard, all the time thinking of our best interests. He presented us with the most gorgeous flower basket* to show his happiness to see Curth again.Richard now asked us whether we daily could share a taxi to and from Whitefield with a lady whom I will call Irene. She was handicapped (multiple scloerosis, becoming worse and worse.) Of course we agreed to this. Irene's belief in God was pretty poor but she had read and heard about Sai Baba's power and had put her faith in Him, for curing her, so that she could take up her work again. Before she came to Sai Baba she had written Him several letters expressing her wish. Curth now explained to her how she was blocking herself and could not open her heart

to Sai Baba.Therefore she was unable to feel His Divine Love flowing toward her. Irene could neither see the total connection between her own karma and her present condition. All this had now resulted in a decision: she would commit suicide on her arrival home some days later. She had lost her faith in Sai Baba. Sai Baba had strengthened Curth's intuition and ability to 'go into' people, so therefore Curth was well aware of Irene's intention. Next morning while Curth was curing his cold in the hotel room, Sisko went together with Irene to Darshan. Then in the taxi, Irene told Sisko about her hopeless situation and what she had planned to do. Back in the hotel Sisko told Curth that Irene had told her something in confidence. Curth at once said that he knew all about it and confirmed Irene's decision. All the time Curth also had known that a way would be opened for directing everything for the best.After a while in prayer with Sai Baba

Curth then went to see Irene. Now followed one and a half hours of interpretation, analysis of Irene's karma, and the reason for her condition and how she herself had blocked her way to Sai Baba. Curth also told her that Sai Baba would see her before she was to return home some days later. Irene was happy and grateful.. her tears turned into a happy smile. Next day when Curth met Sai Baba he asked "The sick lady.. did you talk to her through me yesterday?Yes I did" replied Baba.Ram ChuganiKobe, Japan
