While reading the article “A Tryst in th...Sai Ram!<br /><br />While reading the article “A Tryst in the Forest” by dear Sri Ravi Kumar, my mind raced back to the visit of Swami to Ooty in 1975. In 1970’s Swami visited Ooty every year. Some years even twice! But until Kodaikanal trips very few boys accompanied Swami. Apart from Swami’s car, there was just another car to accommodate students. For some students in Brindavan, it was a long cherished dream come true.<br /><br />The travel with Swami to Ooty through Mudumalai & Bandipur forests was exhilarating and ethereal. Swami exhibited the care of a mother and enthusiasm of a child. Though there were various eatables kept in the cars still Swami sometimes stopped the car so that we could have a tender coconut from a way side vendor. We were wonder stuck at the speed at which the vendor chopped the coconuts for us to drink, while cutting the coconuts he remembered how benevolent Bhagavan is and on various occasions how he was blessed by Swami. While cutting the coconuts his looks were on the sweet form of Swami sitting in the car.<br /><br />As an enthusiastic child to the boys sitting in the car behind, He would show a longoor or such an animal sitting on a tree branch, by pointing His finger at that. Sometimes it would be a herd of deer grazing close by or a herd of elephants moving shaking their bodies, trunks vigorously.<br /><br />Students in the second car always sat on the edge of their seats stretching their neck expecting an indication or sign of grace from Swami, sometimes Swami stopped the car and chided the boys who were putting their heads out through the car window to watch Swami’s car.<br /><br />When Swami stopped His car and got down to take a stroll on the road, which was not possible in Parthi or Brindavan, within minutes people travelling along the road would notice Him and jump down from their vehicles, wondering at the piece of luck coming their way. They would rush towards Swami with gasping breath and merriment. Within minutes there would be hundreds of them. Invariably Swami responded to their pleas and prayers by waving His hands in blessings, smiling and enquiring some people where they were going. While travelling, His searching eyes never missed a needy person. A person need of money, need of his comforting words or a divine touch. The touch that cures all ailments and elevates anyone to that higher level of bliss. <br /><br />Contd...<br /><br />Ramakrishna Reddy<br />Faculty, Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School<br />Prasanthi NilayamRamakrishna Reddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798284702978563677.post-46799801154959391652012-11-18T12:01:41.809+05:302012-11-18T12:01:41.809+05:30... Contd.
After a week of sublime stay in Ooty, ...... Contd.<br /><br />After a week of sublime stay in Ooty, we were returning back to Brindavan. In Mudumalai forest, an old lady was gathering fire wood, quite far away from the road. The all knowing Lord noticed her. His heart melted at her poor condition. Immediately He asked Brother Radhakrishna to stop the car. Without uttering a word He got down from the car and walked deep in to the woods. We all wondered where Swami was going, and followed Him at a respectable distance. Swami went straight to that lady. The old lady looked bewildered not knowing the stranger standing near her, shining like an angel with compassion. Our kind lord to make her realise the good fortune that had befallen her in such an unexpected way gently asked her in Tamil, “Do you know me?” “Don’t know sir”, was the meek reply. With a twinkle in His eyes asked her again. “Have you heard of Puttaparthi Sai Baba? “Yes sir, but not seen Him”. “That is me!” Swami answered with a beautiful smile. The old lady touched His Feet with great reverence. Swami gave her some money and told her to buy new clothes for herself and for her grandson who was playing on the nearby ground listlessly all alone.<br /><br />Our Swami’s compassion did not stop there, He returned back to the car and peeped inside the car. Noticing a bottle of mango pickle asked one of the students to bring it out. Swami carried the bottle to that old lady and explained to her what it is and how it should be used. After blessing that lady, Swami came back to the car and said, “Within few hours we will reach Brindavan, there we have a lot of pickles. Any way we won’t use that one bottle now and it will be useful to that old lady for a long time.” Swami might have noticed some boys feeling bad at the loss of a pickle bottle! (As pickles are very dear to people from Andhra Pradesh) We all wondered at the way Swami told us in a consoling way, as if we were so important for Him! But, we realized that for Swami all are important. He never liked to see anybody feeling hurt. One can never forget such acts of grace. Thus with full of joy we all reached Brindavan.<br /><br />- Ramakrishna Reddy<br />Faculty, Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School<br />Prasanthi Nilayam<br />Ramakrishna Reddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798284702978563677.post-1790946257169070602012-11-17T12:21:16.754+05:302012-11-17T12:21:16.754+05:30Lovely experiences, please do share more of how Sw...Lovely experiences, please do share more of how Swami guided you in becoming a singer.
