Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One
and the Same
By Arjan D. Bharwani
63. SPOT-LIGHTS!
1. In the
pages so far written in this booklet, the field of the 'legend
of the two Sais', has been illumined, with many a 'bulb' of
high wattage. There are yet a number of 'Spot-lights', which
may focus attention, on a few more yet unexplored areas of the
vast and unfathomable expanse of Divinity, epitomised in these
two incarnations. Let us see some more of these focal points.
The following is an account, from an article published in the
July 1965 issue of 'Sanathana Sarathi' under the heading 'Magnificient
Week in Maharashtra'. Shri N. Kasturi writes: On the 10th and
11th (July), Baba was busy at His Residence, meeting Ministers,
and other leading citizens of Bombay. The Religious Heads of
many Sects and Faiths met Him and drew inspiration from Him.
Swami Sai Saranananda, who was for many years at Shirdi, in
the Holy Company of Sai Baba, spent some time with Baba. He is
now among those working for the Inauguration of the Saurashtra
Branch of the Prasanti Vidwanmahasabha, for, as he writes: "I
feel I am in duty bound to render such service to Him, as I
can, in the great task which Sri Sai Baba likes. I take Sri
Sathya Sai Baba as the duly constituted attorney appointed by
Shirdi Sai for this purpose and so, he is an object of my
love, admiration and reverence".
2. Shri
M.S. Dikshit is another 'beacon of light', who navigates us
all to another landmark of the conformity and concourse of the
two Sais. In an article, under the heading 'THE SAME SMILE'
published in the Souvenir ' AT THE LOTUS FEET', Shri M.S.
Dikshit writes:- "(During the interview) Baba came to me and
taking a photo I had with me, He said, "I know him he is Kaka
Dikshit, your uncle, your father's elder brother. Have you any
doubt?" I replied, "No" Then He smiled and said, "I am always
with you, leave everything to Me. I will look after you, do
not worry".
From that
moment, Bhagavan has been fostering me, as Sai Baba did, for,
He is Baba Himself come again. He gives me the same smile and
the same care, and attention. He is really Sai Natha He has
eliminated my diabetes, saved me from heart attack, and
protected me from operations. He blesses and showers His
Grace on all who adore Him. I have not the slightest doubt in
my mind that Sadguru Sai Baba of Shirdi has taken birth in the
person of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba”.
