The first Lingodbhavam took place during the Mahashivaratri of 1947.
This was the first time Baba manifested a Shiva Lingam. There were less than a dozen devotees gathered at Puttaparthi on this auspicious day. Baba was adorned in white and sat upright in His chair drinking plenty of water. A swelling in His stomach was evident. The ‘swelling’ moved up and emerged out of His mouth in time, as a Lingam.
The Lingam manifested from Sri Sathya Sai |
Wished we had the 1947 Photo of Lingodbhavam creation
ReplyDeleteWe too wish so!! But unfortunately not many festival photos from that era are available - except the Navaratri celebrations.
