Vibhutis of Vibhuti
Friday, March 8th, 2013
Vibhuti means besides the sacred ashes or Udhi, which Sai Baba of Shirdi used to give or which Sathya Sai Baba, His Present manifestation creates and gives - but, also, might, power, greatness, magnificence, splendour, etc. This article deals with the Vibhutis of the Vibhuti of Sathya Sai Baba. The Bhagavad Gita declares: “There is no end to My Divine Vibhutis, O Slayer of foes! I have now described to you only a portion of My Vibhutis!” Yes; the Vibhutis of the Kaliyuga Avatar of the Lord, too, are without end; even the Vibhutis of His Vibhuti are endless. Through these series of four letters, from Sri HN Banerjee, we can picture to ourselves the immeasurable vastness of that Glory. Published in Sanathana Sarathi, May 1965.

I am writing to you for His Holiness’s Blessings in a dire calamity that has befallen our family. My eldest brother’s eldest daughter, aged 38 years, mother of seven children, has got cancer. She has been operated upon by Dr. B. N. B. Rao, Prof. of Surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. The pathological report of the removed tissue shows most virulent type of cancer-aplastic carcinoma. Dr. Ramalingaswami, the renowned Pathologist of the same Institute has himself examined the tissue. This type of carcinoma is most fatal; she has now hardly eight months or so of life. My eldest brother lost his eldest son, a very brilliant boy, when the boy was only 14. His second son is now District Medical Officer, Patna. My Brother has two daughters also, the elder one is the one facing death. Her husband, an Electrical Engineer, has taken long leave and is ready to resign from a very lucrative position to give company to his ailing wife. We have many faults and blemishes, but, yet, I feel, He may take pity on my eldest brother and save the life of his daughter from this virulent type of carcinoma. She is in Surgical special ward, Room No. 367. I pray I may be kindly pardoned for making this prayer. I pray that my prayer at the Holy Feet of Baba will help us to save the life of this girl, the first girl in the next generation of our family. With prayers and with tears…

I brought the Vibhuti packets from Baba which were sent to me, to Delhi, this morning, by Pathankot and ran to my niece’s special ward from Nizamuddin and was able to give her the Prasad. Vibhuti as the first thing in the morning, and a tilak on forehead. By the grace of His Holiness, the temperature which was tormenting her for last ten days, rising with severe rigor up to 106.7 F with unbearable burning sensation and a severe sinking feeling, has disappeared today and all the painful symptoms remained away. What a miracle this alone is! How grateful I feel for the extra-ordinary clemency done on me and on my brother’s daughter by the Great Reverend Bhagawan Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Please tender my Sashtanga Pranams to His Holiness…

My niece is now much better. She has got over the anaemia, moves about, and is practically taking normal diet. Further, Cobalt 60, that caused so much of setback is now being taken very satisfactorily. Cancer is most unpredictable, according to medical science, but I am sure she would have a flourishing life with the blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba. I am leaving next month to take up the appointment of the Head of the Bio-Chemistry Division at Rajendra Memorial Research Institute for Medical Sciences; I am to devote all my abilities to bring about some benefit with the Grace of Bhagawan Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba for suffering mankind….

Patna: 23-4-65
My niece is, by the Grace of Bhagawan Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba, doing well. She was to undergo an operation, ovariotomy, as a precautionary measure. But, the Calcutta doctors have dropped the idea, as the same is not warranted. I am very sure, in my mind, that my niece has been saved by the Grace of Bhagawan Sai Baba. She was discharged a month ago and left for Calcutta the same day, with her husband. I offer my heart-felt thanks and Sashtanga Pranams and Dandabat.
