Swami's wonderful Stories in old times...Prof Kasturi

 

" Truth is His form, Sai is personification of truth. He is

omnipresent. One day, at puttaparthi Baba was talking to devotees

seated around Him, making some jokes and laughing. A devotee from

Madras was struck with a novel idea. He wanted to take photographs

of Bhagavan sitting in the chair with a smiling face. He took out

his camera from his bag. Baba rose up from His chair and asked for

the camera. Taking the camera in His hand, Baba called the devotees

to stand behind Swami's seat. He also said that He would click the

camera Himself.

 

Two devotees who had come from Telengana did not like the idea,

because they did not want to have a photo without Swami in it. Sri

Kasturi formerly Editor, Sanathana Sarthi, who was in that group

assured them that when Baba takes a photograph, His seat will not be

empty. Baba also acknowledged this statement. Before the camera was

click, Kasturi kept both his hands on the foot stool under Swami's

seat, confidently expecting that his hands will be either above or

below Swami's Feet in the photograph. But Baba asked Kasturi to

remove his hands from the foot stool. Kasturi conceded to Baba's

command. While handing over the camera back after clicking. Baba

told, " Be careful, I am in that picture. " What a wonder that when

the prints reached Kasturi after ten days, he saw in it Baba seated

centrally, himself by the side, with devotees surrounding Baba. Sai,

the personification of truth and omnipresent. To you, I offer my

loving salutations.
