Om Sai Ram - Swami shows the Power of His will

April 2, 2010

Sai Ram to all

On June 27th, Friday, 2003, Swami created a Circular 360 degree Rainbow, at 12 PM around the brilliant, hot summer sun. The colors of the rainbow were vivid , Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. I was in Brindavan, praying for Swami's recovery post surgically. Teary eyed as I missed the previous days' Darshan in Brindavan. A flash of realization was conferred of HIS omnipresence in the Univerese as Viswaantargata Shakti, Aadi PAraa Shakti. A time had come for us to realize him every where . The physical eye can not see and feels NO WHERE of his presence. It is his conferred grace and Will that will declare NOW HERE!!!!

We felt Bhagawan with us in Haiti, whe we went in February fro a medical camp. The Earth shook at least 4 times when we were there. A sudden surge of his omnipresence was felt by all of us who went for seva. The fear for personal life left us and immense courage took over us. This was Swami and his Energy.

That was avery precious gift to all who saw that miracle of the Rainbow on a hot day with no cloud in sight that day. A realization that he was not in that room behind the closed doors, but among us all.

The Following Wonderful Incident was narrated during the summer course 2000, by Shri.Devsen, a Former Student and Lecturer in SSSU. Swami has many times said, whether during discourses or during private sessions with devotees, that HIS will is infinite. Baba takes many of His students to Kodaikanal with HIM. Likewise He has taken some students to Mysore sanctuary once in their summer vacations. Devsen sir was lucky to be one of them. The students had already reached the sanctuary and it was nighttime. Swami was discussing the secrets of nature with students assembled at HIS feet. He was talking about the start of creation from the primordial sound OMKAR, the emergence of the MILKY WAY, PLANETS etc. He was describing in detail as to how the clouds got formed and the emergence of the SUN, the MOON etc. As Swami was explaining so, He suddenly looked around and said, "Isn't the night beautiful

today.". "Yes, Swami" replied the students " It is blissful here in your immediate presence. Even the moon seems to want to make his presence felt here in your physical proximity". As soon as this was mentioned Swami looked upwards at the moon. He kept looking for sometime and then started explaining the different features of the moon -- that there were so many craters on it, He even mentioned that there were rivers flowing on the moon. As He said this, students started asking "Swami.... Rivers on the moon...Yes, Why not, don't you know rivers existed on moon" asked Swami. "But Swami" students questioned "Something of this sort has never been mentioned in any of the documentaries recorded by astronauts who have visited the moon.". "Oh that...." replied SWAMI "How can they see ... They saw with physical eyes ... Can their eyes see all that divinity has created? They did not see ... but it is there." So saying Swami

stopped. As Swami stopped speaking, there was silence for while but the friction in the minds of students persisted. Fully aware of this, Swami asked, "Would you all like to see all that I mentioned were present on the moon?YES SWAMI" replied the students in one voice. Swami immediately got up from HIS seat and pointed towards the moon and waved His hand. In a moment the moon disappeared from the sky. Shocked at what they saw, the students wanted to ask Swami as to what had happened to the moon but before they could they saw a circular object appear in HIS hands. "This" Swami said, "is the moon ... (Silence for a while) ... now clear all your doubts about the feature of the moon". So saying He started showing the craters and the rivers on the moons surface. As long as the 'moon' was there in Swami's hand there was no 'moon' in the sky. When asked what would happen when anyone looked up and did not find the moon present as

usual or questioned the disappearance of the moon all of a sudden, Swami said, "Nothing happens without my will. As long as the moon, which I have reduced to a size enough to fit into my palms, is in my hand, no one in the world will dare look up in the sky. I have willed that". There was silence for a while as the students tried to grasp the phenomenon they had just witnessed. Swami then asked" Has everyone seen it. Ok, come closer and see. Ask for doubts if any". All those present came closer and looked ... they were all there. The craters, the rivers, the mountains... . All in the miniature form of the moon in swami's hand. Swami then said, " OK, now I shall send it back". So saying Swami let go the 'moon' from His hand by thrusting it upwards. In a moment it was there ... again resplendent as before. As students retired for the day, they reminded themselves of an important lesson they learnt that day. Everything in this

universe is functioning in full awareness of Swami as per His will. All we see is HIS will... What doesn't seem to be is so simply because HE hasn't willed it that way... Om Sai Ram

I had looked up in the sky that time.Now it had happened as such:I had a terrace flat back then near Mahalaxmi temple in Mumbai. I used to study in my terrace with a tube light on at night time. Now I had just taken a walk in the terrace which was my regular feature and gone to the adjoining room which was the hall where the TV was on. Now while watching TV, it suddenly came out of my mouth, " Moon! " . I was surprised as to why I said Moon and I promptly went to the adjoining terrace to find that the moon had disappeared from the sky.

Now the Vikram Savant calendar also, I believe does not mention the time of moon-rise and moon-setting. Then I wanted to tell my family members that the moon has disappeared from the sky but I was not sure and I did not know how quickly the moon would come back. So I thought that they would argue that the moon was not there in the first place. So I did not mention this to anyone.

Then I went to the adjoining hall again quite perplexed. Five or ten minutes later I came out of the hall and into the terrace to find the moon back in its position.Back then, I did not know anything about Swami. So I wondered, who he this powerful person and in what part of the world he is that he could make the moon disappear.

That day and the very next day, I kept my eyes and ears open only to find that there was not one newspaper and not one satellite TV channel that mentioned the disappearance of moon.Few years later, I came to know of one Mr. Balsekar (I knew of him before too in around the year 2000 but did not know he was Swami's disciple) who was a disciple of Swami and he used to conduct discourses every Sundays in the adjoining building to where I stayed. He has also written many books. And there used to be many foreigners who regularly visited him to listen to him. Whilst waiting below the building I happened to meet a man who worked for him and he was below the building so that he could smoke. He asked me then whether I had heard about Shree Sathya Sai Baba and Puttaparthi and I said no. And he was surprised to hear that.

Still few months passed by, till one fine day I decided to search on Shree Sathya Sai Baba on the internet and I found the of saibabanews where I became the member and started receiving regular emails. Just by reading His emails quietens the mind, gives peace to the mind and it feels damn good after reading them.

And it was here, I found that Swami made the moon disappear from the sky. And for once, I felt satisfied that I was an exception to have looked up in the sky when Swami made the moon disappear from there and was showing it in the palm of his hands to students at Kodaikanal.

The students had already reached the sanctuary and it was nighttime.

HIS feet. He was talking about the start of creation from the

was describing in detail as to how the clouds got formed and the
