EXPERIENCES (March 1944)

SRI SAI BABA AS SANKARACHARYA

To the Sceptic Hindus who still hesitate to acknowledge Sri Sai Baba as a

Divine Avatar, we narrate below the experience of Mr.V.Swaminathan Iyer of

Mayavaram.

 

Mr.V.Swaminanatha Iyer arranged a pooja to Sri Baba on 6-2-44 and for the

purpose he requested Maruthur Santhana Ganapatigal (Purohit) to come with

four other Vedic Brahmins. On his expressing inability he requested a local

Sastrigal to come with four brahmins for the Pooja. Though he consented the

brahmins did not turn for the pooja till 10 A.M. But the Sastrigal came only

at 10.30 A.M. and when questioned he said, “ The previous day, doubting that

Baba is a Muslim, I decided not to attend the pooja, but on 6-2-44 at 5.30

A.M. Sri Kanchi Kama Koti Peethathipati Sankaracharya Swamigal appeared in

my dream and directed me “ You go to Mayavaram Junction immediately and do

my pooja there, don’t doubt.” Having had this dream I went out immediately

and told all Vedic brahmins and came with 4 others for the pooja. This is

the reason for my late coming. Out of ignorance I committed a mistake in

doubting Baba’s Divinity. Certainly Baba is an Avatar an there can’t be any

objection.”

 

The above declaration was openly made by the Ganapathigal in Mr.Swaminatha

Iyer’s house before a large gathering. This fact will be enough to satisfy

the doubting Hindus. Baba has declared often that he is all pervading God.

The above experience will add one more proof to the hundreds of similar

incidents experienced by the devotees of Baba.
