Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One
and the Same
By Arjan D. Bharwani
5. THE PICTORIAL PROOF
One day in the garden of Shri
Anjaneyulu's bungalow, a photographer requested Sathya to remove a
crude stone which was next to Him or otherwise to move Himself
away from it, so that he could click an unimpeded photograph. A
Divine Miracle ' Perhaps the readers may find it difficult to
believe, that in the photograph, instead of the prominent stone
there was Shirdi Sai Himself. Needless to say that none present
there saw Shirdi Baba in physical form, a fact which was clearly
seen in the picture. They felt reassured that it is Sathya alone
who through His Divine Sakthi and unique power, had enacted the
superb leela in which He clearly established His identity with
Shirdi Sai. It is after this, that an ever increasing number
of people started worshipping Sathyanarayana Raju as Bhagavan Sri
Sathya Sai Baba. They began accepting the fact that the same
Divine Sakthi who had come as Shirdi Sai has come again in the
form of Sathya Sai.
Smt. Nagamani Purnaiya narrates a
similar incident wherein a coconut had manifested as Shirdi Sai in
a photograph. Some people were doing 'pada pooja' to Sathya Sai.
There were betel leaves, coconut, fruits, flowers and eatables
kept in front of Him. One photographer clicked away. When the
prints were made he found that the coconut which was placed in
front of Sathya had taken the exact shape of Shirdi Sai. A copy of
this photograph is still kept in the old mandir at Puttaparthi.
