My First Face to Face Experience with the Divine

November 30, 2009

Thank you for sharing your experiences Brother Ranganatha. You are very lucky. I saw Sai Baba for the first time when I was in 8th grade in 1983 when I was about 13 years old. That was a very profound experience. I don't know how to describe it. I started to seriously pray to Swami only in 1994 or so. I regret for having ignored Him for so long. There was a time I used get scared in the nights. I cannot explain why. I must had some ingrained fear which I was not even aware of. Couple of times I actually screamed in my sleep. I think this happened one night in 1994 I was fast asleep. Suddenly I got the fright and I was about to scream. I was trembling and I suddenly became aware of Swami's figure standing next to me calming me down. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Him. I calmed down and went back to sleep. After that the fear went away. Swami is such a loving Mother to me. Now I can feel and actually see that He is and has been watching over me all the time whether I know it or not.
