SUPERNATURAL ACTS OF GOD-SAI BABA

 

 

SURGICAL KNIFE

 

 

A pilgrim to Puttaparthi suddenly developed acute appendicitis. At

the time, there was no hospital there nor was there a surgeon, so Sai

Baba was asked to come to the room where the patient lay groaning. He

waved his hand in the air and produced a surgical knife out of

nowhere. A second wave materialized vibhuti which he used as an

anaesthetic. With these aids he performed the operation to remove the

inflamed appendix. Then the surgical knife vanished into thin air. He

applied the vibhuti on the wound which healed immediately, leaving

only a small scar. - Source: Book- God Incarnate

 

A certain person was a captain during the second World War, but

since he died of a commonplace disease in a civil hospital his widow

did not get much by way of pension. So she had to earn some money

teaching music, in order to keep her three children - two daughters

and a son in elementary ease. The son passed his B.Sc examination

with a first class from the Madras University, while still in his

teens. The army authorities gave him a job in their cantonment office

at Bangalore. His mother, who was overwhelmed with joy, sent him to

offer homage to the family deity, Venkatachalapathi on the Tirumala

Hills in Andhra Pradesh , so that he could join duty at Bangalore

with divine blessings.

 

However what did happen was the boy got drowned in the holy tank of

the temple. His body was in police custody for two days as it was

unidentified. The anxious mother was confronted by the photograph of

her son's corpse which appeared in the daily papers. But , Baba

appeared to her in a dream and directed her to come to Puttaparthi.

Bhagawan called her and her children for the precious interview. "

Don't weep " , He said , " for your son who led a disciplined life and

was full of devotion, has now merged with God. When he has found the

lotus feet of Bliss, you should not indulge in grief " . But she could

not be consoled.

 

Then Baba said, " I know your heart is broken since you could not have

even a last glimpse of his body. See, it is here. " Saying this, He

spread His palm in front of her, and she could clearly see the events

of that faithful pilgrimage appear upon it: The son slipped on the

steps of the tank, and a few people jumped in to save him. A lotus

like bunch of flames rose from his body and proceeded towards the

innermost shrine where the idol of Venkatachalapathi is installed,

disappearing in a blaze of glory of the Lord's feet. Then she saw the

idol come alive and change into a charming image of Baba Himself.

 

After sometime Baba spoke to her, " Mother, the one you loved as your

son was a staunch devotee of the Lord during his previous life. He

was engaged in tapas for 12 years on the steps of this very holy

temple tank. His deepest desire was to attain Jala samadhi(water-

mergence) in those sacred waters. To fulfil that desire he took birth

again. Remain in Puttaparthi, ever singing the glory of

Venkatachalpathi, who has accepted you on into His fold " .

Once Swami picked up a south african devotee for the interview. This

devotee is full of doubts about Baba and that was the first time he

came to Parthi with an intention to understand Baba.

 

After talking to him for a while Swami asked him what do you want

then the reply came I want a watch. Baba immediately materialised a

watch and gave him. The testing devotee asked further that I want the

bill. Well, Swami waved His hand in the thin air to give a bill,

which, to the astonishment of the devotee had the address of this

very devotees home town in South Africa, with that days date. Totally

surprised devotee took that invoice and came out of the room

wondering how could on earth Swami could buy a wach from his own town

which was more than 10,000 miles away from Parthi.

 

On his return to his town he went to the shop which issued that

invoice to find the duplicate and checked. It was there. No magic,

the duplicate was existing, the shop owner recollected the incident

and narrated " On that day a small tiny person with curly hair and red

robe came to my shop to buy the watch. He spend a long time to select

this one and took it, paid the money. He immediately left the place.

But after a few minutes He came back and asked for the receipt. Very

pleasing personality .......... The shop keeper continued.

From Sai journal published by South African devotees.

 

On one occasion Group Captain Bose, driving with his wife and father-

in-law from Ambala to Gauhati in a high powered car with low

clearance was unable to move on the slushy road near Hariharganj. The

entire area was dangerously flooded by serpentine heavy rains; the

road was a lake. The back wheels of the car sank completely into the

mud, while upfront, one wheel was stuck in a ditch! At that late hour

of 11.30p.m. no help was available, nor would it have been of much

avail since all efforts to free her only succeeded in making her sink

deeper.

 

The occupants were able to procure shelter in a nearby school, and

slept on bare benches at night, but her husband was determined to

reach Gauhati where he had to preside over a Court Martial. " Duty is

God. Work is Worship, " he quoted Baba.

 

When dawn broke, no passing car or truck would agree to help, nor

would the small crowd of amused villagers lift a finger! Their

enjoyment of the pitiable spectacle only fanned the flames of

despair. Unfortunately Mr. Bose had a little bit of ego left in him:

he decided to rely on horse power rather than Sai power! Ropes were

procured, but the car would not move: the engine was restarted, but

she only sank further into the slush. Eventually, an exhausted Bose

flopped to the ground, saying, " The Lotus Feet of Baba is our only

refuge.. " Almost immediately a gentle looking man with a strong

physique came towards them. No one seemed to recognise him, nor could

they guess his whereabouts. Handing his umbrella to Mrs. Bose, he

became master of the situation. Bose was asked to get into the car

and take the wheel . A sweet fragrance flooded the interior, but

before the engine could be switched on, or the gaping crowd could

offer assistance, Mrs. Bose saw the man put his right hand under the

bumper, and with one lift, he placed the car forward upon hard

ground, all wheels safe out of the awful mire. Then all the occupants

were requested to get into the car! Puzzled, they tried to thank him

to ask who, and what he was. " Oh, I am a chowkidar. " (watchman) he

said, and walked away. Disengaging itself from the now vociferous

crowd, the car moved away, and soon caught up with the man, walking

briskly down the road. Bose begged the man to accept something but he

refused. Then he spoke one sentence. " Why did you not call for me

last night itself? " . The Lotus Feet had indeed come to them!

We all caught our breaths, as Swami created a most powerful object.

It had a round black onyx base and on it was a silver map of India.

Surrounding the map were 18 jewels that glistened in the dark, from

some mysterious inner light. He said that on the map were inscribed

100 Sanskrit verses giving the history of the Avatar from birth to

the time when it leaves the body. He said, " All great works of the

Avatar and all leaders chosen from my students are recorded here " . He

took it around for all to see and touch. Spiritually it was very

powerful and esthetically very beautiful. The writing was too small

to decipher. When asked, He answered, " I will not reveal the future.

Everything will be revealed in due time. Why do you hanker after this

object when you have its creator? You have Me and I have you. You are

all sacred souls and have roles in the mission. No force can delay

this mission even by one instant. I will appear in many

manifestations of my form. Wherever you are, there I will

be " . He was not just speaking to the students, but to all of us...

fortunate souls whom He has gathered in. It continues to be a great

wonder to me, that not only is Swami still quite easily accessible,

but there are so very few who have committed to become His devotees

and live His teachings. Swami said His devotees are one in a hundred

thousand. He said that one among ten, you can find one truly good

person; one among ten such has some deep feelings for god; one among

such ten will yearn for a direct experience; and one out of such ten

will be ready to let go totally, to renounce, and surrender

completely to God. " That is My devotee, and He is very dear to me " ,

Swami said.

Organisations of Europe, Hamburg, 12-15 May, 1989

 

The story of the construction of the Mandir building at Prasanthi

Nilayam is a chain of miracles wrought by Bhagawan's grace. The most

astounding was the transport of the huge girders for the central

prayer hall from the railway station at Penukonda sixteen miles away.

Girders of 40 feet length had come from Trichinopoly (now

Tiruchirapalli) to Penukonda by train. The road from Penukonda to

Bukkapattanam was a district board road with a sandy stream at the

seventh mile and it passed through a few villages with delicately

built houses(!) flanking the narrow road on either side with a few

acutely angled curves. There was a track of three miles, from

Bukkapatanam to Puttaparthi with a few dilapidated culverts and low-

level causeways and a broad expanse of the sand of the river

Chitravathi. Then there was the task of hoisting the heavy girders on

the twenty-foot high walls. Therefore, the engineers gave up all hope

of transporting the girders from Penukonda to Puttaparthi and placed

before Baba some alternative proposals for roofing the prayer hall.

But Baba did not relent.

 

One fine morning, the Road Transport Officer of Anantapur district,

who was a devotee of Baba, woke up to find a surprise in front of his

house. It was a huge crane from the Tungabhadra Dam site that had

stopped there and refused to move forward. It had struck work! The

driver was grappling with the engine in vain. He could not make it

move. He sought the help of the Road Transport Officer who thought

that the crane was Baba sent(!) for transporting the girders from

Penukonda to Puttaparthi. It was agreed that the crane would

transport the girders if it were repaired. The R.T.O. hurried to

Puttaparthi and prayed to Baba, who materialised some vibhuti (sacred

ash) and gave it to him. This vibhuti was smeared on the engine and

the driver was asked to start it and lo! the crane started moving.

The surprised driver went happily to Penukonda railway station,

lifted the girders with the giant arms of the crane and started

towards Puttaparthi. The sight of this giant carrying the girders

was a great surprise for the villagers who greeted it by lining up

on the roadsides. The crane somehow passed over the culverts,

negotiated hairpin bends, lurched over the slushes and puffed its way

up the Karnatanagapalli hill! It did not move further, may be on

seeing the broad sheet of sand of the Chitravathi River! Baba himself

went to the crane, sat with the driver and handled the steering

wheel. Thrilled by the touch of the Lord, the crane moved happily to

the work spot and unloaded the girders.

A Mirror of the Moon

 

Early on the morning of Dec. 8, 1973, Swami departed Prasanthi

Nilayam for Brindavan. After an hour or so of driving, he directed

the three accompanying cars to turn off the road to a clearing in an

uninhabited area of the forest. Everyone got out. Baba was in a

delightful mood, moving about among the party and cracking jokes with

the men.

 

Beside the picnic area was a wood-apple tree with a few large wood-

apples in view in the upper branches. The men tried to knock some of

these to the ground by throwing stones, but without success. One

small wood-apple, about two inches in diameter, did fall to the

ground, and Baba picked it up.

 

Holding the small wood-apple between thumb and forefinger against the

morning sun, Baba said, " Here is the moon. " Then he closed the small

object in his hand for a moment, and when his hand opened, the wood-

apple had disappeared, and in its place there was a most

extraordinary object.

 

The object was a translucent disk (of stone?) thin at the edges

thicker at the centre. It reflected light in a brilliant way, and

throughout its body there was a puzzling variety of modifications.

There were dark areas of uneven shape and size; there were short and

longer veins of luminous mineral-like materials of all shades of

colour; there were specks and dots of colour that reflected brightly

in the sunlight. The total effect of the disk was one of great beauty.

 

Everyone gazed at the object with intense interest and wonderment.

Holding the disk to the sun, Baba said that it was the moon in

miniature, comprised of the moon's matter; that it was a mirror of

the moon. " Nobody understood what he meant, and we started to ask

questions. At length, we understood that the two sided disk was an

accurate miniature in stone and minerals of the two sides of the moon.

 

It was as if one were to photograph the moon as it is seen from

Earth, and then to journey to the opposite side of the moon and

photograph that side. Each side photographed would appear on a

photographic plate as a circular disk. Thus, one side of the

translucent disk created by Baba mirrored one side of the moon, and

the other side of the translucent disk mirrored the opposite side of

the moon. The darker, unevenly shaped areas on the disk were the very

large features of the moon's surface; the brightly reflecting specks

and dots were individual mountains and smaller mountain ranges; the

shorter and longer veins of brilliant varicoloured minerals were

additional features of the moon's landscape.

 

Indeed, the visual modifications to be seen in the disk were so

complex that we did not readily understand them. Baba said that the

mineralized appearance of the luminous features of the disk were in

fact moon minerals, that they could be seen in the disk because it

was thin and therefore translucent, and that the same mineralization

was in the moon itself. The miniature moon was exact and fully

accurate, and were there to be a photographic enlargement, scientists

would at once recognize all the landscape features with which they

were familiar.

 

At this point, food taken from the cars was ready, and the ladies of

the party served a delicious breakfast. I had the moon-disk in my

hand, so I put it in the pocket of my jacket and kept it there. After

breakfast, with a smile, Baba held out his hand, and I reached in my

pocket and returned the moon-disk to him. He again held the disk up

to the sun, and all along the edge of the disk there was the rich

golden light. Baba said, " See there is the sunrise!. "

 

After every one admired the golden light, Swami again closed his

hand, the moon-disk was gone, and in its place was the original small

wood-apple.

Pearl garland from ocean

 

When a devotee told Baba, " I heard that your Kerala tour was most

pleasant and wonderful. I am sad that I was not destined to join, "

Baba replied, " Have the confidence and hope that when next such an

opportunity arises, you may be able to join. Meanwhile, listen to the

account given by those who joined, and be happy. "

 

A word about that adjective, 'wonderful': The devotee was referring

to a very dramatic, indeed astounding miracle that happened at

Kanyakumari. In the evening when the sky had turned into a carnival

of pink and purple, and the clouds had decorated themselves with

golden fringes, Baba proceeded to the seashore and with His Bhakthas

around Him, played with the waves of the seas that mingle there. Each

succeeding wave seemed to be more eager than the previous one to

touch His lotus Feet, and to offer Him its own special homage.

Suddenly, as if aware of the yearning of the seas, Baba stood facing

the waters and said to those beside Him, 'See! The Ocean is welcoming

Me, with a Garland.'

 

At the very moment one could discern a stately wave a few yards away,

advancing majestically towards the shore and, soon it swept Baba's

Feet and receded. Imagine the wonder and amazement of every one when

they found, round Baba's Feet a bewitching pearl garland, swaying and

swinging with every surge of the waters around Them! One hundred and

eight translucent pearls each a priceless gem, strung on a thread of

gold! O, how charming Baba looked! The Avathar of the Lord receiving

the homage of Varuna again!

He knows how to rescue his devotees

 

This is a true storey happened to me last year.

The house next to my house had cut off two big trees and I am sure

they have snake of the big venom like MAMBA a definite poisonous

killer was there. When they cut the tree, I think in all my opinion

that I framed which later Swami confirmed to me in my dream, the

snake entered into my house through the gate and found itself in my

rock garden.

 

Normally I go to my garden to pick up flowers and do some gardening

in the evening hours and all saturday. One fine morning Swami said

while picking up flowers, where radiant Swami appeared before me and

said please wear the chappels (footwear), and he didn't tell me why.

From that day I was wearing the chappals (footwear) and go to the

garden. After a gap of some days when we came from dinner and got out

of the car and when my wife got out of the car the snake passed under

the car but slightly edge between the legs. We saw it, before I could

park the car

the snake went inside the garden. Immediately I have to call the men

from the local tribe and told them to find where the snake could have

hidden itself.

 

Then after a whole long hunt, the snake was beneath the rock garden

and they took it out and they told us it is dangerous snake of

African variety worst than cobra.

 

We prayed to swami that day and thanked Swami for saving us.

 

Swami said that night in my dream that He knows best at what time He

should help the devotees and bless me and disappear. The next day

Vhibuti was there in my house in all the photos. I have only video

coverage and not photos and I do not know how to clip into the

computer.

 

This illustrate Swami is omnipotent, omni presence, and wherever we

are He will be there. What He wants our faith and love, once we

surrender to Him, He will take care of us. Sairam

Dr. John S. Hislop is a distinguished academician, businessman,

administrator and philosopher who is presently the Chairman of the

Central Council of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation in America

and a member of World Council of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations.

He and four others left Brindavan for Puttaparthi by a taxi at about

8 P.M. in the month of February 19173. Some distance away, the driver

negotiated the taxi to overtake a bus. During the process they were

caught in a precarious situation. They confronted a speeding car

coming towards them from the opposite direction. The other side of

the road was under repairs, leaving not an inch of space on their

right. A head-on collision between the on & shy;coming car and their

taxi was therefore imminent within a few seconds of time and space.

The bright head-lights of the on-rushing car had reduced the

visibility to almost nil for the driver and the occu & shy;pants of the

taxi. They were terrified and began tensely awaiting the

inevitable. In a split second they saw the car behind them. Both the

vehicles had escaped a devastating crash and were now speeding in

their original directions.

 

Next morning during the darshans, Hislop thanked Baba for saving

their lives the previous night. Bhagavan Baba, smiled and said, " Yes,

that was a close one. You were so shocked that not one of you called

for Me. But Baba saved you anyway.

 

Dr. Bapi Raju of Vishakhapatnam writes about another instance,

demonstrating Baba's complete control over time and space. One day he

was going in his car. His son was driving and he was sitting by his

side. As they were passing an unmanned railway crossing the car was

hit by a railway engine coming from their right. Dr. Raju was thrown

out of the car. To their utter amazement, they saw, that both the car

and the rail engine had instantaneously stop & shy;ped dead. The engine

driver seemed quite astonished when he said that he did not know how

his engine had halted although he had not made any attempt to stop

it. The impact though of a crushing magnitude had created only a

small dent on the right side of the car. Dr. Raju and his son escaped

unscathed. A few days later during darshans at Puttaparthi, Baba

spoke to DT. Raju and said, " In a sudden calamity or happiness always

think of God first. At the time of the accident to you, I had to stop

the rail engine and the car and I had to

throw you on your left, otherwise you would have fallen on the

railway lines in front and received fatal injuries. "

The Creator

 

by His Student

 

Year after year, students have the good fortune to photograph

Bhagawan. We are mesmerized with the illusion that we have a lot to

do with taking a good picture. Bhagawan has a way of teaching the

simple yet profound messages.

 

In April'94, in Kodai Kanal. Nearly all the students on this trip had

a camera with them. Four of us had been taking pictures of Bhagawan

for over 4 years, and were known to have a camera handy, in His

presence.

 

 

 

 

 

One crisp and beautiful morning, Bhagawan instructed the students to

get ready for taking pictures and prepare to leave after morning

darshan. We boarded the bus and made our way to a devotee's house in

Kodai Kanal. The garden was in spring bloom overlooking the clouds

hugging the mountain ridges.

 

After taking several pictures in various locations around the garden,

we were preparing to return to Sai Sruthi. Before getting on the bus,

we asked for one more pose. It so happened that, I needed to change

the film in my camera. To keep out of the way for other

photographers, I moved behind a small post with a creeper clinging to

it. Before I knew it, Swami was walking towards me. HE came up to the

creeper and plucked a few leaves. Swami turned His palm upwards and

showed me a pair of fruit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He asked, " What is this? " I replied, " Swami, they are plums. " Swami

gave his sweet smile and said, " Do plums grow on creepers? " Swami

instructed the students to board the bus and Swami graciously joined

us. As we started to move, HE put the " Plum " into the mouth of one of

the boys and asked, " How does it taste? " he replied, " Like chocolate

and no seed! "

 

There isn't day that passes when Swami reinforces the principle of

GOD - Generation, Organisation and Destruction.

Materialization of jewels belonging to the time of Rama

From an interview with Prof. Anil Kumar

 

 

 

 

....AK: At times, Swami takes the boys out on a picnic, where He

almost plays with the boys. Sometimes, He even sings with the boys.

All sorts of funny things happen.

 

GV: Does it all remind you of Krishna and His cowherd boys, the

Gopalas?

 

AK: Yes, I think it is all action replay, like a tape being replayed.

 

GV: Except for the age difference between the physical body of the

Lord and those who are with Him this time?

 

AK: May be, but Bhagavan crosses all time barriers when He

materialises certain things. I know Sir, one year He materialised the

ring worn by Lord Rama that was presented to Him by His father

Dasaratha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

GV: Oops! The ring that Dasaratha gave?!!

 

AK: That is right. It was a diamond ring, and Swami was smiling as He

looked around while materialising another ring – this time it was a

sapphire ring that was presented to Lord Rama by His father-in-law,

Emperor Janaka.

 

GV: I am told these rings are very big?

 

AK: Very big indeed. I said, " Swami, it is almost the size of my

wrist. How come this ring is so big? " Swami replied, " Lord Rama was

an Aajanubhau, meaning one of very tall stature.

 

GV: Eight feet or so?

 

AK: Yes, Swami then materialised the Mangalsutra or sacred wedding

medallion, complete with the sacred thread that holds the medallion.

This was worn by Mother Sita at the time of the wedding. I have also

seen Swami materialising the chain worn by Ravana.

 

GV: Ravana?

 

AK: Yes, complete with 365 Shiva Lingas and a pendant at the bottom

made up of three large Shiva Lingas, one yellow, one green and one

blue. All the 365 were made of gold while the three in the pendant at

the centre were made of crystal. This was the chain that Ravana wore.

 

GV: What happens to these jewels afterwards?

 

AK: They go back to SAI STORES (laughter). Swami also materialised a

golden replica of the deer that captivated Sita, later landing her in

trouble.

 

GV: Are you allowed to touch these objects?

 

AK: Yes, sir. On one occasion, Swami said, " Tomorrow is the wedding

function of Balarama [brother of Krishna] and Revathi. All of you are

invited for lunch! " Sure enough, on the following day, there was a

fabulous lunch and in the afternoon Swami spoke about the marriage of

Balarama with Revathi. And at the end He materialised a magnificent

diamond-studded necklace with three or four rows of diamonds.

 

GV: My GOD! How big was the necklace?

 

AK: About 15 cms. At the centre of the arch-like necklace there was a

Swan suspended by a gold chain. The Swan was clear and you could look

through its eyes, beak, stomach, and so on. Every body started

looking at it. Swami came to me and said, " Look, look deep " . I did so

and there in the middle of the stomach of that bird I could see

Bhagavan Baba in a reclining posture, the classic reclining posture

of Lord Narayana, reclining on His Thousand-hooded snake, Adisesha.

That is what I saw. It was absolutely fantastic. Swami also

materialised the CHOODAMANI or the ornament that Sita used to wear on

her head. This was the CHOODAMANI that Hanuman brought back as proof

of having met Sita, when he reported back to the Lord Rama.

 

GV: How do the boys feel on such occasions? They must be transported

to a different world.

 

AK: That is right, into a totally different world. They had come so

close that they even took the liberty of almost pestering,

saying, " Swami, let us see, let us see! " Swami gave ample

opportunities for all to see these manifested objects at close

quarters. He would keep them on the table so that everybody could

later see at some leisure. Photographs would be taken and some of

them are here in our MUSEUM also. [...]

The Kanayazhi Ring, which was sent to Mother Sita through Hanuman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sri Sathya Sai Baba materialised the pearl necklace that Sita gifted

to Hanuman

 

Rama Navami is the festival that marks the advent of the Lord as

Rama. Many years, the festival occurs when Swami is in Kodai. On such

occasions, the festival becomes a truly memorable day for the boys.

On one such Rama Navami day, Swami materialised the pearl necklace

that Sita gifted to Hanuman at the time of Rama's Coronation. Rama

was distributing various gifts to members in the assembly but

somehow, He seemed to skip Hanuman. Sita was troubled by this

apparent indifference; how could such a loyal one like Hanuman be

overlooked on an occasion like this? So, she whispered to Rama that

Hanuman should not be forgotten. Rama whispered back that Hanuman was

way above material gifts. Sita was not quite satisfied by this reply;

so she took out a pearl necklace that she was wearing and offered it

to Hanuman. While receiving the necklace, Hanuman gave it a

suspicious look. He then placed the necklace near one of his ears as

if to check whether the individual pearls were emitting some

sound. He appeared to examine every pearl in the necklace, and once

in a while, he would bite a pearl. Sita was shocked by this

behaviour. Was Hanuman proving that, after all, he was a monkey? She

demanded an explanation from Hanuman for what he was doing. With

great humility Hanuman replied, " Mother, for me the Name of Rama is

supreme. An object is worthless if it does not resound with the Name

of Rama. Some of these pearls are not emitting the proper sound and

so I am chewing them up. " Sita was neither convinced nor amused and

tersely remarked, " Pearls do not emit sound. " Hanuman

replied, " Everything that is saturated with the Rama Principle will

always chant the Name of Rama. Let me demonstrate. " So saying,

Hanuman plucked a hair from his body and offered it to Rama. When

Sita took it near her ear, she could clearly hear the chant of Rama's

Name! This was the way Hanuman proved to the world how intense true

devotion really is.

 

After narrating the story and materialising the necklace, Swami

passed it around and asked the boys to carefully examine it. Sure

enough many pearls had teeth marks! After everyone present there had

had a look, Swami made the necklace disappear!
