When Swami sent New Year Greeting Cards to Devotees

Thursday, January 08, 1948

Baba sent New Year greeting cards to some blessed devotees. These cards had beautiful scenery on the top, and Baba’s endearing appellation of the devotees along with a Telugu poem on the inside. 

Sri Sathya Sai at the Urs Residence Garden

Baba visited the palace of Sri Desaraj Urs of Mysore where the Maharani of Sandur had Darshan of Baba for the first time. Even at the very first sight she instinctively felt that He was God, although He was just a boy. Baba approached her and applied kumkum to her forehead with His thumb. He blessed her saying, “Amma, don’t worry about your State, for it will become a hundred times bigger than it is now”. Then He added, “Come to Puttaparthi with the Maharaja”. The Maharani then extended an invitation to Baba to visit her Bangalore residence, which Baba gladly accepted.

Six months later on June 17, 1948 Swami visited the Sandur Palace and blessed the royal family. He made many predictions for the royal family that have come true to this day. Read more on the post about His Sandur visit through the link below:
