Ocean Salutes Bhagavan
When Swami visited Kanyakumari in Dec 1958,
he went into the Ocean. Then the Ocean
offered "The
Pearl Mala" to the Lotus feet
of Swami.
The following is an excerpt from
"Sathyam Sivam Sundaram", Part I, Chapter 12:
«A devotee once told Baba,
"I heard that your Kerala tour was most pleasant and
wonderful. I am sad that I was not destined to join." Baba
replied, "Have the confidence and hope that when next such
an opportunity arises you may be able to join. Meanwhile
listen to the account given by those who joined, and be
happy." The devotee was referring to a very dramatic, indeed
astonishing, miracle which happened at Kanyakumari. In the
evening, when the sky was transformed into a carnival of
colors, pinks and purples, and the clouds bedecked
themselves with golden fringes, Baba proceeded to the
seashore with His party and played in the waves of the three
seas that mingle there. Each wave appeared to be more eager
than the previous one to touch His lotus Feet, to offer Him
its own special homage. Suddenly, as if aware of the
yearning of the seas, Baba stood facing the waters and said
to those beside Him, "See! The ocean is welcoming Me with a
garland."
At that very moment a stately wave a few yards away,
advancing majestically toward the shore, swept over Baba's
Feet and receded. Imagine the wonder and amazement of
everyone when they found around His Feet an exquisite pearl
garland swaying and swinging with every surge of the waves!
One hundred and eight translucent pearls, each a priceless
gem strung on a thread of gold! How charming Baba looked!»
