It is often said that Divine personalities have an aura about them. Some

scientists believe that all living beings, including plants, have an aura. This

is not visible to the eye but can be photographed by a technique known as

Kirlian photography.

Dr. Frank Baronowski, a Professor in Arizona State University in America, is an

expert in this field. He not only photographs aura but is blessed with the rare

gift of being able to see the aura directly with his eyes.

In 1979, he came to India to make a study of aura of holy men in the country.

Inevitably, his travels brought him to Baba, who was then in Bangalore. At the

time Baronowski reached Whitefield, a course arranged by Baba for school

teachers was in progress. Baronowski heard about this and was naturally keen to

speak in the conference, sharing his numerous experiences. Baba knew about this

and in His own way made it possible. But first, Baronowski had to see something

he had never seen before!

The Professor's first glimpse of Swami was during the early morning Darshan. In

those days, Swami used to give Darshan at the conclusion of the

Nagarsankeertan, the early morning prayer/Bhajan procession that one can see to

this day in Prasanti Nilayam. Baronowski was stunned by what he saw - Baba's

aura was simply out of this world. He saw it again and again - during the

morning Darshan and the afternoon Darshan. He saw how this extra-ordinary aura

enveloped one and all, believers and non-believers alike, those who were

directly looking at Him and those whose attention was wandering. Later,

Baronowski was given the opportunity to speak during the conference

proceedings, in the immediate presence of Bhagavan Baba. Here is an extract of

what he said:

I have met over a hundred holy men in India. Too many of these holy men are

involved in their own personal egos. Their auras show mostly concern for

themselves and their institutions. So, the auras are only about 25 cm. broad or

perhaps 50 cm. I am not a devotee of Sai Baba. I have come here as a scientist,

to see this man Sai Baba.

I saw Him on Sunday, on the balcony giving Darshan to devotees below. The aura

that Baba projected was not that of a man. The white was more than twice the

size of any man's, the blue was practically limitless, and there were gold and

silver bands beyond even those, far beyond this building, right up to the

horizon. There is no scientific explanation for this phenomenon.

His aura is so strong that it is affecting me standing by the chair on which He

is sitting. I can feel the effect and I have to wipe my arm, off and on, as you

must have noticed. It is very difficult for me to admit. I am a scientist. I

have given over six thousand lectures in all parts of the world, but this is

the first time, believe me, my knees are shaking. The aura that emanates from

Baba shows His Love for you. I have met any number of holy men, but none of

them have made themselves as available to you as Baba does. That is a sign of

greatness.

Baba has given you the key to success - the simple four-lettered word: LOVE! If

ever I can use the phrase that I have seen Love walking on two feet, it is

here.

I have been watching Baba, while He was addressing you. The pink aura that was

manifesting was so vast and strong that it went even to the hall behind this

chair. It filled the big hall, embracing all of you here. There can be no

scientific explanation for this phenomenon. I have watched Him for a week now

as He walked among you, morning and evening. I have seen this aura, pink in

colour, go into the person He is talking to or touching. This is because we

draw on His energy. His energy seems to be limitless. It spreads everywhere and

can be drawn upon by everyone around. An ordinary man will soon get exhausted

going round as He does, among so many. I have watched

Him come to a little girl, in a wheel chair and tickle her. I was astounded at

the aura of Love that was all around Him then.

I am not brought up in any belief, though I am a Christian born and a Roman

Catholic. The scientific community in my country finds it difficult to accept a

God. It is not scientific, they assert. I am risking my reputation when I make

this statement. Two days ago, right outside this hall, I looked into His eyes.

They have a glow inside them. It is clear to me that I looked into the face of

Divinity. There is no scientific explanation for this; there should not be! In

my estimation, He is exactly what He appears to be - LOVE! That is what He is!

I have spoken on platforms where President Ford of the United States, Queen

Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Queen Wilhelmina of Netherlands have been

present, but I will never forget this experience! It is really overwhelming in

its impact.

Dr.Baronowski had the rare blessing to 'see' the aura of Love. The rest of us

may not be able to 'see' it, but none can deny that we all 'feel' the infinite

Love of Bhagavan, when in His presence or even when we just think Him!
