Hail the Savior

By R. Radhakrishnan

 

" I shall draw out my devotees from the jaws of death " is Sai Baba's DICTUM.

How many times He has saved me from the jaws of death. I am writing this

article today on account of, His grace and blessings. Otherwise, I would

have been buried fathoms deep long, long ago and many births (janmas)

according to " Law of Karma " would have taken place. It is really the

wonderful leelas of Baba which are inconceivable, inscrutable and beyond our

mind and intellect. He knows or anticipates and forestalls the calamities of

His devotees and wards them off in time. His debts (obligations) will never

be repaid by us in this birth as well as in many future births. We can at

best chant His Taraka Mantra " , " OM SAI, SRI SAI, JAYA JAYA SAI " day and

night which is simple, easy, powerful and a sadhana for the

aspirants/devotees to attain 'Sai Joy' and 'Sai Bliss'.

 

Baba assured His devotees as under:

" If you simply say Sai, Sai, I will take you over the Seven Seas. " In this

connection, it is to be remembered, when Goddess Parvathi asked Siva which

is the most powerful Name (among the thousand names in Vishnu Sahasranama)

to be meditated upon for one to achieve salvation Siva recommended Sri

RAMA'S to be always chanted or meditated upon with love and devotion

(Shradda and Bhakti) to attain salvation. Our Baba also advised Mrs.

Khaparde (wife of Dada Saheb Khaparde of Amrotr) to always chant " 'Raja Ram,

Raja Ram, " Our Baba is no other than Shri Ram. He is 'Sairam'.

 

Now I wish to relate here a recent incident (experience) showing how our

kind Mother takes care of Her children (more than a mother) and averts the

calamities/dangers that were to befall them in life. On 23-1-90 at about 5

a.m., Baba appearing as a well dressed Doctor woke me up, examined me

thoroughly and told me " Your heart is strong. There is no danger to your

life. You will survive " . Saying so, He disappeared. (The dream vision was so

realistic - it was not a dream but actual vision). On that day, I with my

wife had been to Sai Spiritual Centre, Bangalore, to participate in the

" Punya Thithi of H.H. Saipadananda Radhakrishna Swamiji and received His

blessings. We left on the same night for Erachakulam (a modern village 30

miles from the famous (Nagarcoil) via Madras to attend a marriage on

29-1-90. On 28-1-90 itself, perhaps due to change of climate or some other

reasons, I started coughing continuously for two or three hours with the

result, breathing trouble prevented me from getting sleep and also taking

any food.

 

RESCUED

The next day, I was rushed to Raman Nursing Home at Nagarcoil where I was

treated, but was unable to lie down on the cot and sleep as the breathing

was hard. I was simply sitting on a chair and remembering 'Baba's Name'

shedding tears due to unbearable mental agony. At about 10p.m. or so, I

could hardly breathe and thought that my end was nearing. In a flash Baba

appeared before me with " Abhaya Hasta " (protecting hand) blessed and

disappeared. From that moment my breathing trouble began to abate and after

half an hour or so, it became normal and I could breathe easily and

naturally.

 

The next day (30-1-90), I was discharged from the nursing home and every one

of my relations was surprised to see me hale hearty and in normal health.

We left Nagarcoil on 20-2-90 for Bangalore and participated in the " Akhanda

Sai Nama Japam " from 6p.m. to 6 a.m. for 12 hrs on the auspicious day of

" Maha Sivarathri " on 23-2-90 at Benson Town, Bangalore. Before leaving

Bangalore, I promised Sai Sister Mrs. C. Sharadamma and Sai Brother Sri

Ananthakrishna, that I would be back from Nagarcoil and join them in the

" Sai Nama Japam " on 23-2-90 arranged in Mrs. Sharadamma's home. It was

really Baba who enabled me to keep up the promise by saving me on 29-1-90.

 

I request all the Sai bandhus to pin complete 'Faith' in Lord Sai and

surrender to Him with tan, man and dhan so that we can cross over the sea of

mundane Existence, easily and smoothly and attain Eternal Bliss.
