The Spring of Divine Sakthis
Twelve Concomitant Proofs of
Divine Majesty
ARJAN D. BHARWANI
Dr K M. Munshi, a great follower
of Gandhiji, one of the architects of free India, a famous
Gujarati writer and the founder of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, on his
first meeting with Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, which took place
on 15th May, 1968, involuntary uttered “I came, I saw and I was
conquered.”
Exactly after two months on 15th
July 1968, while addressing a mammoth gathering at Dharmakshetra,
Bombay, Dr Munshi broke down with heart felt emotions and he spoke
these soul stirring words “I was pained to see around me the quick
decline of faith in God and earnestness in religion and I was on
the brink of despair when I contemplated the future of this
ancient land. But as I look upo Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and
witness the transformation He is affecting in the heart of
millions, I am heartened and and happy.”
Dr. Samuel Sandweiss, M.D. the
author of a popular book entitled "SAI BABA THE HOLY MAN AND THE
PSYCHIATRIST," has written about his personal and unique
experiences with Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Prior to writing
this book he came specially from the U.S.A. with the intention of
researching and investigating. Ultimately he came to realize that
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is Divine Incarnation of God. This is
what be expressed in a letter to his wife. “There is no doubt in
my mind that Sai Baba is Divine. I astound myseIf to say such a
thing ! I believe, I cannot even communicate the experience. I
know alI this isn't hypnosis, mass delusion, hallucination,
hysteria and effect of cultural shock or drug intoxication. It is
too simple to say I saw a materialisation and then all of a sudden
changed. I marvel at the experience, unable to relate it fully,
joyful that I am able to share it with so many who are witnessing
it. I believe, Baba to be an Incarnation of God".
Shri R. K. Karanjia, the Editor
of a popular English Weekly 'BLITZ', on his return from
Puttaparthi after his first meeting with Baba, wrote in his paper
dated 11th September 1976 in bold capital letters, ';GOD IS AN
INDIAN." He went on to write that during the darshans at
Puttaparthi, "The impact or compact between the devotees and their
Bhagavan was immediate, electric, powerful. I saw the poor
devotees come first, the rich last. In the middle was I - a
sceptic, a critic, a Marxist who had in the past openly questioned
and criticised Sathya Sai Baba." He further adds in Blitz dated
25th September 1976, "As I have already admitted the encounter
was fantastic, almost shattering one, that does not mean, that I
have been bribed, bought, hypnotised, converted or otherwise
influenced by Baba."
In another article Mr. Karanjia
writes, "He went on to amaze me with knowledge of the most
intimate developments affecting my life and work. He appeared also
to know beforehand the questions I had planned to ask. As soon as
I began asking one He would stop me with a gentle tap on the knee
to begin answering it. I never completed a question, still I got
all the answers.
