On Sunday, the 13th day of December, 1964, Baba was
at Venkatagiri town. He had reached the place a few days earlier in
connection with a heavy schedule of discourses in the Chittoor and Nellore
Districts, in Andhra Pradesh. But, Baba is not bound by the limitations of
space and time. On that very day, about 8.a.m, "Baba surprisingly appeared
in front of my house. ", says, U. Ram Mohan Rao, Superintendent of the
Junior Technical School, Manjeri (28 miles south Of Calicut on the West
Coast, in the State of Kerala). As the crow flies, the distance between
Manjeri and Venkatagiri will be more than 600 miles! But, distance is only
a game that Baba plays to keep us, poor mortals, apart.
Mr.Ram Mohan Rao describes Bhagawan's visit thus : "I and my wife were
indoors with our daughter. The maid told us that a Sadhu had come. We went
out to see who it was and we were surprised to see Sri Sathya Sai Baba!
Baba said, Hari Om, Santhi Santhi Santhi; we prostrated ourselves at His
Feet. We led Baba into the office room, but on the way, He saw our Pooja
room where His Photo was hung, along with several holy pictures. He said
He would sit in the pooja room itself. He told us that He had come to us
that day, being very pleased with the Bhakthi of Sailaja, my daughter. He
asked me to send word to devotees if any were available for Bhajan and
Pravachan." . He sent word to his neighbours and people collected
immediately", says Ramesh Rao, his cousin. "He sang "Nandamukunda
Sayinath", "Om Bhagavan", "Jayaram Jayaram," along with the Bhakthas.
After Bhajan, He talked to me in Tamil, to my wife in Canarese and to the
others in the mixed dialect of Tamil- Malayalam. He blessed us by the gift
of a Sankhamala and Himself placed it on His own photograph. He told me
that my father had decided on a rite to propitiate the Snake-God
(Sarpasamskaram) at Bangalore on 25th February, Thursday ('My day' He
added), but He told me that he need not perform it, since He had already
wiped off the calamity it was intended to avert and the sacrilege it was
designed to atone".
"He took some light refreshment. Then, He told the persons around Him that
all will be anxiously awaiting Him at Kalahasti. So, he took leave of us
and asking, us not to follow Him, went through the gate. He disappeared in
a few seconds. We all felt happy at this unexpected Darshan and were
struck by the 'disappearing miracle', within the twinkling of an eye".
Nor was this all. There are a few more paragraphs in the letter, which
prof. Kasturi quotes : "24th December, Thursday, was a holiday; we felt
lonely since our Sailaja was away at Mangalore. So we went out in the
afternoon to visit some friends and returned home at 6.30 P.M. We were
shocked to see the lights burning within the house. My wife asked me
whether I had forgotten to switch off all the lights. I first examined the
lock of the main door and finding it intact, went round the house to see
whether the other doors were bolted from within. They were o.k. Then, both
of us came to the front door, opened the lock and walked in. We found
everything intact; all the lights were on. We saw Baba sitting in our
Prayer room. We prostrated ourselves at His feet. He asked us (in Kannada)
whether we were afraid ! We replied that we were very lucky and that we
felt very happy! Baba -said that He had come because we were lonely and
said. 'Let us sing Bhajans. If Sailaja were here, she would have liked to
sing', He said. He sang a few Bhajans. He took food later, we discussed
some general topics together. Then, Baba retired for the night.
Early next morning, Baba had His Bath; He had coffee with us and then,
discoursed on Bhakthi and the Basic Truth of Nature. All of a sudden, we
saw a rosary of Rudraksha beads in His hand; He put it on my neck with His
Blessings, with the direction that I should wear it during my Sandhya
rites. After those rites, I was to place it on Baba's photograph. We had
breakfast together. The Puja room was decorated specially with garlands
and flowers. Bhajan began. Meanwhile, devotees came to know that Baba had
come; so they too assembled for Bhajan. Baba discoursed on Bhakthi in the
Tamil-Malaylam dialect. He granted every one the coveted interview.
At 12 noon, Baba himself waved the Sacred light of Mangalarathi and
distributed Prasadam, to every one present. The quarter kilogram of dates
that I had, sufficed for 100 persons ! We had our lunch with Baba. He
rested for a couple of hours and we had 'tea' at 4-30 P.M. Then He told us
that several devotees were eagerly waiting for Him at Kalahasti. He
blessed us again, when we fell at His Feet. At 5 P.M., He went out on the
road through the gate and suddenly disappeared. what a wonderful miracle !
We could not believe our own eyes
