This particular incident took place during the 1991 Annual Sports Meet in Prasanthi Nilayam

January 10, 2008

The Students had performed a lot of Wonderful stunts and last programme was a Motor Cycle Stunt. During the Sequence of jumps, A student had to from an elevated ramp to another elevated ramp which are of 6 feet high and are seperated by 5 feet distance. Jumping from one ramp to another was not a big deal.

In Order to impress the audience and to show their valor in front of Swami, the Students thought of adding fire in between the ramps. The Students had practiced this feet without fire in between the ramps, and wanted to have a real stunt on the final day. The ramps were setup and the fire was lit.

Shri.Anil Patle a 1989 - 1991 batch MBA student started on his bike. When he was pproaching the ramp the fumes and smoke became so thick he could not see the ramp on the second side. People from both sides of the ramps had no problem in seeing the ramps. Anil did not want to stop and thus generate great disappointment to Swami and to himself. He recollected his heroics during the practice and filling Gods name and thoughts in his heart jumped over. Perfect takeoff. He zoomed through the flames and landed on the second ramp as expected. Great applause. Swami was till then on the verge of the seat got up and started clapping. Everyone was so happy and as usual all the students who participated in the event went for Bhagawan's padanamskar. Swami patted this boy and said "Dunnapotha, Look at the ramp and jump do not push everything on God".The next morning Swami got the photographs of the motor stunt. He came over to the Boy

in question and showed the photograph. In that one shot was taken when the vehicle was landing. The picture was so vivid that only the front wheel was touching the ramp and the back wheel was already going down in the fire. Anyone can understand that Anil reached early and no way he could make it to a safe feat without a back lift from Bhagawan. Then Anil understood the meaning of what Bhagawan said while taking padanamaskar. Currently this boy Anil Patle is working in Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Medical sciences.This story whenever I think of gives me tremendous confidence that Swami is there to take care of, so long I think of Him.
