Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 'MAHA-KALLUKUL BETHAMILLAI' - SIVASHANKAR BABA Quite Impressive Experience.... Excerpt from the book 'Loving God' written by Kasturi - Devotee of Sathya Sai Baba. " I was one of the aged devotees blessed with the assignment of anoiting Bhagavan(sathyasaibaba) on the very first Birthday at Prasanthi Nilayam. I rose from the men's half and my wife from amongst the group where she was seated. As I rose Beelzebub whispered into my ear a poisonous prescription. " This is the chance, find out whether it is a wig of afro hair, this unique crown of his " . The voice was from my neighbour, an acquintance since years, the Manager of a Bank at Bangalore where I had kept my little pile. I had peregrinated through scored of green rooms in my time, where wigs were put on and off. I myself had got metamorphosed with their help into Supranakha ....So, while walking up the dias, the pendulam swung from faith to doubt. I decided to obey the prompting and try to pull the wig off if that was possible. We dipped the rose in the fragrant oil and when my wife dipped the oil, I pressed that head and dared give the scalp a quick sideward thrust. SathyaSaiBaba was holding his head bent for us to annoint Him. When he received the impact of my impertinence, He whispered to me " Yes! Try pushing towards the right side also " . I shivered in fear. I cursed myself for sliding into the slush of suspicion. The wife wondered what happened to me. Crestfallen, I resumed my seat by the side of the serpant. Even now, Baba relates, off and on, the said story of my audacious experiment to groups of devotees and raises bursts of symathetic laughter at my discomfiture " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
