Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Mr. M.K. Anandavenkateswarlu, a native of Dhone (Kurnool Dt.) records his experience: “My third brother Seshumani lost the use of his left leg, left hand, and the left eye on account of polio which he had in his third month. Even at the age of ten years, he could not stand. Owing to some financial and domestic problems, we could not provide him with any medical aid. Last year when I was doing my M.Sc., in Statistics in S.V. University at Tirupati, I heard of Sri Bharadwaja through my friends and I met him when he visited Tirupati. In his presence I experienced deep peace. I had a feeling that with his blessings my brother might recover. After the M.Sc., examinations I went to Vidyanagar to see him. That evening he read out from his book on Sri Sai Baba the chapter “Sai Baba is in All Saints”. Just at that time Sri Samartha Narayana Maharaj, the saint of Harihar, visited the house of Sri Bharadwaja. He listened to my account of my brother’s condition, gave me holy ash and told me to apply it to my brother’s body while reciting the forty verses addressed to Sri Hanuman (‘Hanuman Chalisa’). As the holy ash is too little in quantity he told me to take some more from Sri Bharadwaja. When I returned to Tirupati I had sent the ash home through my second brother. As the members of my family at home did not have the text of Sri Hanuman Chalisa to be recited, they did not apply the ash to my brother’s body. But strangely enough, from the fourth day of the ash reaching our home my brother, who till then was unable even to stand, started moving about with the help of a stick. All my people were surprised at this. But before I came to know of this miracle, one day, early in the morning, I had a dream. Sri Baba was there surrounded by devotees of whom I was one. Pointing at me he told the others, “It is I that had saved this lame one”. I at once woke up, wondering what this could mean and looked at Baba’s picture. At once it occurred to me that Baba was just cryptically referring to my brother. After a few days I went home and to my surprise and that of others my brother was walking about with the help of a stick even though the ash was not applied to his body. Many people of that town were surprised at it. All of us thought it was all the grace of Baba. My unquestionable conviction in the existence of God came from my brother’s recovery without any medical assistance”.
