Sai Leela - Vibhuti Miracles


When I read that this month's theme is Sai Miracles, I could not resist writing my own experiences of Swamy's Leela, especially, Vibhuti Leela. It was December 1997 Second Saturday, the day of our Sri Satya Sai Bhajan Mandali's Annual day. We started our function with Omkaram at 4.30 am and followed by Laksharchana, Shodachopachara Puja, Bhajan, Sathsang and Narayana Seva. We were through with all the programs and as the preparations for Narayana Seva was not complete we were sitting out side the premises of the clubhouse where the function was going on. Meanwhile, one of the devotees of our campus, Dr. D. Chaudhary came exited and told my husband that Swamy just visited his residence. We all inquired how it happened. He explained " I went to my residence with Raja Bhai, (another staunch devotee of our place) to quench his thirst. Suddenly we experienced smell of Swami's Vibhuti. Raja Bhai started yelling Swami has come! Swami has come! He started singing Bhajan and searched the house. As he was doing so we traced the smell of Vibhuti to a Swami's Photograph in our pooja alter. The whole photograph was covered with Vibhuti. We lighted the incense stick and came to inform you all". We all went running to see the first experience of Swami's Vibhuti miracle. From the formation of the Vibhuti, Raja bhai explained that Sai had visited us as Radhakrishna. There were imprints of Bhagawan's feet also in that room. The sight was so fantastic. I read many a time about this and was thrilled to see personally the Vibhuti miracle. We are blessed. In 1999, again we are fortunate to witness another two miracles of the same at Keonjhar, a town of Orissa, which is situated about 150 km from Cuttack. One morning, One Scientist from Bhubaneswar, who was at CRRI, Cuttack came and told us that Vibhuti miracle has happened at Keonjhar a day before and it was more fantastic than the one which occurred earlier at Cuttack. We started at Cuttack immediately and reached Keonjhar traveling on a road which lost its originality. It can be said that it was a path of gravel only. We did not feel any exhaustion since Bhagawan Baba blessed us. As we reached the place, it was not very difficult to trace the blessed house. In the first house, Vibhuti in huge quantities was showered the whole house. Even their pet dog, was found with a quoting of Vibhuti. Large number of devotees from far and wide places visited the house. Here also, Baba's footprints were seen. We were told that many devotees placed photographs of they're chosen deities in the pooja room and honey from some photographs, ghee from some photographs were oozing out. Luckily, I always carry Bhagawan's photograph in my vanity bag. I placed that in the altar, prayed and returned to witness the second miracle. The second miracle was more fascinating and interesting. Every Thursday, the inmates of the house perform Bhajan and Arati. Since a month prior to this miracle, Baba's photograph in the altar, which was placed on the Simhasan, used to move around the house especially during the Bhajan time. That photograph was being spotted in the neighboring hall during the Bhajan along with other photographs which were placed for the purpose, move out and go to kitchen some times, go and occupy it's own position in the altar. Some times the water which was placed in a glass near the Simhasan used to be half full. The Vibhuti Leela in this house was more convincing that Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is Siva- Shakti Avatar. It was because, along with huge quantity of Vibhuti, Vermilion (Kum Kum) also was splashed on the Photographs of Sri Shiridi Baba, Sri Sathya Sai Baba and other photographs. After witnessing the Miracles, we were returning home and while coming back and two back tires got punctured. Because Swami is with us always, even though the traffic on that route is thin, and it was late, there was shop just nearby to attend to us. We got the work done and reached home at about 1-00 am. In the next morning, when my husband went to see how the car is, he was astonished to see that all the four tiers were flat. I don't know how we could reach home? Next day, we received a phone call from the devotee where we placed Swami's photograph, that ghee oozed out from the photograph and they have sent it to us through our common friend. In another two days we received the photograph and we could see the oily markings on the photograph and sweet smell was still persisting. This is not a fiction or imagination it is a real happening. Bhagawan Sri Satya Sai's miracles cannot be comprehended. As he says, no one can know his real nature. OM SAI, SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI

A certain person was a captain during the second World War, but since he died of a commonplace disease in a civil hospital his widow did not get much by way of pension. So she had to earn some money teaching music, in order to keep her three children - two daughters and a son in elementary ease. The son passed his B.Sc examination with a first class from the Madras University, while still in his teens. The army authorities gave him a job in their cantonment office at Bangalore. His mother, who was overwhelmed with joy, sent him to offer homage to the family deity, Venkatachalapathi on the Tirumala Hills in Andhra Pradesh , so that he could join duty at Bangalore with divine blessings.However what did happen was the boy got drowned in the holy tank of the temple. His body was in police custody for two days as it was unidentified. The anxious mother was confronted by the photograph of her son's corpse which appeared in the daily papers. But , Baba appeared to her in a dream and directed her to come to Puttaparthi. Bhagawan called her and her children for the precious interview. " Don't weep", He said , "for your son who led a disciplined life and was full of devotion, has now merged with God. When he has found the lotus feet of Bliss, you should not indulge in grief". But she could not be consoled.Then Baba said, "I know your heart is broken since you could not have even a last glimpse of his body. See, it is here." Saying this, He spread His palm in front of her, and she could clearly see the events of that faithful pilgrimage appear upon it: The son slipped on the steps of the tank, and a few people jumped in to save him. A lotus like bunch of flames rose from his body and proceeded towards the innermost shrine where the idol of Venkatachalapathi is installed, disappearing in a blaze of glory of the Lord's feet. Then she saw the idol come alive and change into a charming image of Baba Himself.After sometime Baba spoke to her, "Mother, the one you loved as your son was a staunch devotee of the Lord during his previous life. He was engaged in tapas for 12 years on the steps of this very holy temple tank. His deepest desire was to attain Jala samadhi(water-mergence) in those sacred waters. To fulfil that desire he took birth again. Remain in Puttaparthi, ever singing the glory of Venkatachalpathi, who has accepted you on into His fold".
