Swami knows everything about everybody…
Saturday, July 27, 2013
Bhagawan’s ways are incomprehensibly mysterious, leaving the devotee clueless about the whats and hows…What a devotee requires is Sharanagathi, total surrender as Arjuna displayed, with unflinching faith. An episode about Bhagawan’s Divine Foresight, from the book Sri Sathya Sai Anandadai Journey with Sai by Smt Karunamba Ramamurthy.
My mother had a friend in Puttaparthi, who had come from Kerala. In spite of seeing so many miracles and mahimas of Swami, she was not convinced that Swami was God. She was doing the chores of preparing breakfast for Swami and arranging the food brought by others to be offered to Swami. She did her job well with sincerity. She was the wife of a high ranking official based in Madras (now Chennai). She had a son and a daughter. Her son went abroad and settled there. Her daughter was also married. She owned a big bungalow constructed on a huge site in Madras. Once in a while, Swami would stay in her house, during His visits to Madras. read more »

Vibhuti does it!
Thursday, June 20, 2013
The Bible speaks about faith and greater faith. Quoting Jesus, It says, “… if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) This faith is not the realm of the ordinary, though it is not reserved exclusively for the explicitly ecclesiastical ones. Interestingly, at times one could see absolute, unqualified faith mushrooming in unexpected quarters.
