Miracles are His

Visiting Cards. These Visiting Cards are miracles only from the limited

human perspective. In fact, these are God's gentle taps reminding man of

the absolute existence of the Divine. Ms. Indira Devi chronicles some of

these gentle taps silently serving reminders to man of the absolute need to

establish in Greater Faith...as extracted from Sanathana Sarathi.

On the first day of

June, I was in Bulgaria, having been invited to conduct a Yoga Teachers'

Course by the Minister for Culture, when she was in India. I told her about

Bhagawan and gave her the book, " Sai Baba and Sai Yoga " and

showed the film on the 50th Birthday Festival. All this prompted her to

drive to Prasanthi Nilayam and she returned greatly impressed by Baba.

My visit to Sofia

was a beautiful experience. The class of 150 enthusiastic yoga learners

consisted of university professors, doctors, engineers, artists and others.

I had also to hold classes in three hospitals where the doctors and nurses

had to be taught special Asanas and breathing exercises for patients

suffering from various illnesses. I had perforce to talk of Baba when

questions were asked why I had named the course `Sai Yoga' and I had to

bring forth the japamala of 108 pearls which Baba had given for passing on

to the very ill in order to heal them. Many instances of Baba's Grace were

related to me with tears of gratitude by those who learnt yoga from me.

Professor B. was sent to me through Government channels in the hope that

Yoga, Sai yoga to be more correct, might heal him. For some reason unknown

to the doctors, he could walk only for a distance of about 50 meters. At

that point, his legs could move no more, though they looked perfectly

normal. During 40 years of teaching Yoga, I had never faced such an enigma.

I gave him Vibhuti dissolved in water and applied a little on his legs,

while he was holding the japamala and praying. The next day, he was normal

and could walk miles with no difficulty.

At Athens, devotees

were eager to see the films and hear about Him. Then I left for California,

Mexico, San Salvador and Guatemala. Bhagawan's message was received with

stormy enthusiasm in all parts of Latin America, be it in Mexico,

Guatemala, San Salvador or Lima in Peru. His name was on the lips of

thousands and it has sunk deep into the hearts of those who have become His

devotees. Faith was fertilised by many mysterious happenings in places

where Bhagawan's portraits were adored. In Guatemala, a yoga student had a

dream that she was working on a statue of Bhagawan. When her mother came to

wake her up early next day, she was surprised to find her fingers covered

with clay! Another lady running a shoe store had just returned from

Prasanthi Nilayam. She encountered a hold up by three gunmen. They asked

for money and she asked Baba for help. Immediately, the fellow who drew out

his gun, said, " I was misinformed " and wanted only shoes!

Collecting the shoes, they made a fast exit. An armed robbery and all that

the gunmen got was three pairs of cheap shoes!

In San Salvador,

belief in Bhagawan's omnipresence and omnipotence rose greatly after the

miraculous escape of Herandez Quinonez. He with his wife was driving from

their ranch back to San Salvador when several assailants stopped the car.

At gunpoint, they forced the man to hand over his revolver and 2000

American dollars. While they were searching the trunk, the frightened

couple started praying to Bhagawan for their safety. All of a sudden, the

gunmen re-appeared in the window and gave back the revolver and the wad of

dollars and disappeared into the darkness, leaving both of them

dumbfounded.

One day at Lima

(Peru) Elizabeta Maldonatio took me to the office of her husband, a medical

doctor, to show me the room which they had converted into a shrine, since

Bhagawan had cured her from an incurable disease when she went with him to

Prasanthi Nilayam the previous year.

" What do you

say of this miracle? " Elizabeta exclaimed, pointing at a large cross

of yellow flower petals on the red carpet in front of the altar with Baba's

pictures. " I had placed fresh flowers on these two vases the previous

evening and left. By morning, the petals had loosened by themselves and

scattered into this sacred shape. Quite a few did not believe the story,

the miraculous denudation of the flowers and the mystery of the design

which was formed. So, with tears in my eyes, I prayed for a sign. Within

minutes, while we sat in meditation, after switching off lights and with

only candles flickering, a footprint appeared on the carpet of petals, on

the Cross! Baba's Foot!

You cannot imagine

what was going on after that! Every one rushed forward to see it and touch

it. People fell on their knees, crying and praying, embracing each other in

joyful gratitude at this sign of Grace. " " But when they were, all

finally gone, " said Elizabeta, " the Cross looked very disbaratado

(disrupted), because so many petals were missing since people took them

home and I had no heart to stop them. Sad and heartbroken, I asked Baba to

restore the Cross. Seven weeks later, while the original petals were still

fresh and fragrant (!), He answered my prayer. The blank spaces caused by

the over enthusiastic devotees were filled with fresh marigold petals from

nowhere. " I prostrated before the altar with the Cross and the

Footprint yellow marigold on red carpet!

Man’s

acknowledgement to the gentle taps from The Greater Heaven!
