Here is a detailed attempt by by H. Sunder Rao sketching a step-by-step account of one of those illustrious morning darshans in Brindavan during those olden yet golden days.

The Power Of Pure Love…
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Who is Sathya Sai? How should one account for His psychic powers? Has mankind ever understood Him and His benevolence of Divine Darshan in its fullest extent with due respect and reverence? …And is it possible for myopic human vision to restrict this Almighty citing Law Of Nature and other humanly perceived barriers? He Himself had said once, five decades ago in 1961, …”This has been the case, in all ages; people may be very near (physically) to the Avatar, but they live out their lives unaware of their fortune, but exaggerating the role of miracles which are as trivial when compared to My glory and majesty, as a mosquito is in size and strength to the elephant upon which it squats. Therefore, when you speak about these `miracles’, I laugh within Myself out of pity, that you allow yourself so easily to lose the precious awareness of My reality.” Read on an interesting article by Kalidas Mukherji, published in Sanathana Sarathi, March 1977. read more »
