Baba's Unique Blessings

By K. N. Narayana Swamy

It was 26th

January 1989, the

holy Thursday. It was the happy occasion of the Silver Jubilee of myself and my wife Chi. Sow. Jaya Lakshmi’s wedding. Needless to say that we worshipped

Sai Baba and his apostle H. H. Radhakrishna

Swamiji to our heart's content with pooja, bhajan, arathi etc.

 

During

the morning pooja, while I was listening to Sai bhajans with immense

devotion, believe it or not, a poor old man (I consider it a sin to call

anybody a beggar) very much resembling Sai Baba, just

appeared at our gate calling out 'BABA, BABA'. Instantly I got up and took some

coins from the box and a banana and gave alms to the poor old man. He just

looked at me with all grace and quietly walked away without stopping anywhere

else. Is it not the style of Sai Baba appearing

before His devotees in different manifestations and shower His blessings? That

moment was so great to enjoy the blessing experience of Sai

Maharaj. It is beyond words.

 

Of

course, this poor old man is seen in our colony occasionally and I also give

him small coins whenever he comes across me, but, how in the world he has come

to our gate just on the day and at the time of Sai-pooja

and after receiving the offerings with graceful look left without sloping

anywhere else? That is the wonder of wonders and we are unable to understand

and we can only say: 'it is yet another Sai-leela'.

 

I

understand from Sai bandhus

that Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji

used to refer to this not as miracle but something always usual with Sai Baba. Though I am one of the post-Samadhi devotees of

Sri Swamiji, he is to me none other than Sai Baba. Blessed indeed are the devotees of Bangalore who had the privilege of being at the feet of

this great Master.
