Samuel H.Sandweiss,M.D

 

In May 1988, I asked Swami about playing a small role in the

awakening of Russians ti his presence, I asked him for permission to

go to Russia to find a publisher for the Russian translation of my

book.

 

After thinking for a moment he agreed. I made my first trip to

Russia in October in 1988. At that time, I had left the manuscript

with some interested people, and eventually it found its way into

publication.

 

There developed a growing number of Sai devotees in Russia and many

heard of Swami through reading the book.Ten years later, I was

formally invited to speak at the Russian National Conference to be

held in May 1988.

 

My wife Sharon joined me. The conference was held at a campground 40

miles outside of Moscow, where approximately 300 devotees assembled.

They came from all over Russia, from as far as from the

Ukraine,St.Peters burg, the Ural mountain region, and places I had

never hard before of.

 

Before the conference,Sharon and I spent three days in St.Peter

burg. From the moment we were met at St.Peters burg airport to the

time we left Moscow airport, loving sai devotees surrounded us.

 

We were driven everywhere, and always an interpreter who helped with

the sharing of Swami's love. Each day in St. Peters burg we spoke

twice usually at noon to a group of 20 to 40 people at the home of

devotees and in the evening to a gathering of about 300 at a large

hall called " The house of Friendship. "

 

From St.Peters burg, we traveled to the conference in Moscow, where

we spent another three days. .In the early morning devotees quietly

gathered in an old and worn.

A simple candle lit in the image of Sai on the alter.From the

silence of this simple amid modest setting stirred a vibration of

supreme holiness.

 

The first emanation of holy primordial OM brought chill. Vedanta

teaches that all creation emanates from this holy vibration. In it,

we were all one. Our loved and yearning for Swami were the same.

Swami's universal love made us recognize that we are brothers and

sisters under the fatherhood of God.

 

This OM was the same as I have heard in my own home as have now

heard in my own home, in India,in Canada,all over the United

States,in Mexico,and South America,through Europe and in Australia.

It was the same OM filled with the same impulses,to be good that I

have witnessed.

 

It was the same OM , filled with the same impulse to be good, that I

have witnessed all over the world. It was the same OM that shows us

that our yearning for love and Unity is universal and that we are

one.The OM , now energized with devotion to Swami,was awakening

divine courage in the Russian brothers and sisters.

 

What a wonderful, to see how Swami's love gave courage to my

struggling Russian family. Their long history of suffering continues

today. Laws and taxes remain oppressive,making it difficult to

succeed in business.

 

When asked what attracts them to Sai Baba, most reply that they feel

his presence and protections, and know that he is always with them.

This love brings great peace of mind and purity of heart and the

power to persevere through profound suffering.

 

When experiencing this level of Sai potency, I have become aware

that Swami actually has the power to bring peace to this war-torn

world. I know that one day we will all thrill to major miracles of

Sai's love that will one day bring mankind back to the right path.

 

Swami is allowing us to play a role in his mission to re-establish

dharma on a firm footing at this dark time. He is awakening entire

nations to God's love. He is doing it by heart-to-heart contact at

time.

 

Jai Sai Ram
