SRI SAI BABA AS SANKARACHARYA

To the Sceptic Hindus who still hesitate to acknowledge Sri Sai Baba as

a Divine Avatar, we narrate below the experience of Mr.V.Swaminathan

Iyer of Mayavaram.

 

Mr.V.Swaminanatha Iyer arranged a pooja to Sri Baba on 6-2-44 and for

the purpose he requested Maruthur Santhana Ganapatigal (Purohit) to come

with four other Vedic Brahmins. On his expressing inability he requested

a local Sastrigal to come with four brahmins for the Pooja. Though he

consented the brahmins did not turn for the pooja till 10 A.M. But the

Sastrigal came only at 10.30 A.M. and when questioned he said, " The

previous day, doubting that Baba is a Muslim, I decided not to attend

the pooja, but on 6-2-44 at 5.30 A.M. Sri Kanchi Kama Koti Peethathipati

Sankaracharya Swamigal appeared in my dream and directed me " You go to

Mayavaram Junction immediately and do my pooja there, don't doubt. "

Having had this dream I went out immediately and told all Vedic brahmins

and came with 4 others for the pooja. This is the reason for my late

coming. Out of ignorance I committed a mistake in doubting Baba's

Divinity. Certainly Baba is an Avatar an there can't be any objection. "

The above declaration was openly made by the Ganapathigal in

Mr.Swaminatha Iyer's house before a large gathering. This fact will be

enough to satisfy the doubting Hindus. Baba has declared often that he

is all pervading God. The above experience will add one more proof to

the hundreds of similar incidents experienced by the devotees of Baba.
