Homage to Sri Sathya Sai Baba



On 24th April at 7:40 Am – Sri Sathya Sai Baba passed away from the physical avatar.
HE is a world renowned Swamy. HE has been struggling with health since 28th March. There were many stories during that time and now about the genuine communication gap both the trust members, hospital authorities have created along with Baba relations.
So many controversies and the inability of Government to intervene.
Keeping them aside – one should praise great Baba’s contribution to the society in the form of LOVE and SERVICE.
HE is not a Hindu Swamy – though wears saffron. HE is Baba for all religions. Hardly HE has done any Hindu religion canvas or contribution. But followed True Hindu principles.
On 23rd Nov 1926 HE was born at Gollapalli (Puttaparthi) and became Baba at the age of 14. HE settled in Puttaparthi only and hardly travelled once out of India.
HE only made devotees to reach to him.
HE contributed to education, Hospitals, Water development especially to AP and also to Karnataka and TN.
I came to know about Sai baba almost since my childhood. I saw Baba closely face to face – many a times in the early 80s. When I was in JNTU Anantapur visited many a times. That time in the place of Sai Kulwanthall – sand land used to be there. Baba used to come to each line and many a times saw with naked eye – HE taking out Vibhudhi and giving too many.
More than devotion – I liked HIS service, Love and the discipline in Ashram
Whenever I visited Puttaparthi – I made a point to live like “A day of Sai Devotee in Puttaparthi” – having darshan both in the morning and evening. Participating in Bhajans, visiting HIS nearby sites/museums – even some time Nagara Sankeerthana.
If devotees believe him as GOD then one should feel that HE reached back t HIS place – of course for the devotees who used to see daily in person – it is a hard thing to believe.
If Puttaparthi also becomes like another Shirdhi, Trust goes into reliable sources – then devotees will have peace in mind.
If Prema Sai is going to come in Mandya in 2022 – it will be another miracle.
