Divine
Blessing - Miracoli di Sai Baba in Sudafrica
L'articolo che segue, pubblicato recentemente sul "The
Post" Sud Africa, descrive le manifestazioni miracolose che si verificano nella
casa di una famiglia di devoti di Sathya Sai Baba nel Sudafrica. Questi fenomeni
si verificano frequentemente in molte case e templi dedicati a Sai Baba nei più
disparati luoghi della Terra. Il Prof. N. Kasturi, biografo ufficiale e forse il
più grande conoscitore della vita di Sathya Sai Baba, parlava di "diversi
migliaia di casi nel mondo". Esiste in proposito una ampia documentazione
fotografica. Vibhuti (cenere sacra) e altre sostanze come kumkum o haldi,
sgorgano spontaneamente da immagini di Sai Baba o di altre divinità. Tali
fenomeni sono più frequenti durante la recita dei bhajans devozionali, per
esempio nella giornata di giovedì, ma spesso sono continuativi nel tempo e
possono durare ininterrottamente per decenni. Spesso si verificano flussi di
amrita (nettare) e talvolta si sono verificate manifestazioni di latte, burro o
altre sostanze succherine. Questi segni, che oltrepassano ogni spiegazione
razionale e scientifica, testimoniano la presenza in forma sottile di Sai Baba
accanto ai Suoi devoti nel mondo, laddove il Suo nome e la Sua forma sono
ricordati.

In what is being described as a divine blessing, a staunch Sai Baba-devoted
Isipingo family is experiencing what they say are miracles in their home - with
the formation of ashes and kungum around their prayer place and walls, and the
appearance of candy and honey dripping freely from the eyes of a Sai Baba
statue.
Widowed Rani Naicker, 50, a factory worker of Egret Crescent, Lotus Park, who
shares a rented home with her three children, factory workers Sagren, 21, and
Kumaran, 24, unemployed Nicole, 25, and her (Nicole's) three-year-old daughter
Shenay, said they were blessed a day after the kavady festival in February, when
Sagren noticed ashes forming on the top of a poster which featured Sai Baba's
head.
Since then, the family claims, there has been an overflow of ashes, kungum,
turmeric powder, sugar candy and pink sweets, including the continuous dripping
of sweet honey from a statue. These have mysteriously materialised.
Ashes have also formed on several pictures of Sai Baba, Shridi Baba, Mother Mary
and on the frame of a picture of Naicker's late husband, Manny Naicker.
Naicker, a Sai Baba devotee for 30 years, and her family have been living in a
single bedroom and kitchen for about 25 years.
They have no running water and rely on neighbours and on an electricity coupon,
for their needs. But their hardships have not stopped Naicker from holding a
daily service in her home and attending sathsangs at the local Lotus Park Dharma
Mandhir.
"I feel Baba's touch and his blessings help me progress in life. He takes away
my problems. I am a plain and simple person but Baba has blessed me. When I
first saw what was happening, I fell on my knees and prayed, and thanked Baba
for entering my home."
Naicker, who was formerly with the Malagazi Sai Centre and is now with the
Mandhir, said she got closer to Baba after her husband (then 38) suffered a
stroke and died about 17 years ago.
Feeling deserted and disconnected, Naicker said she received a "message" from
Baba telling her that she would not be alone "when I am here for you".
"I never expected that Baba would visit me. As a mother I am alone with my
children, but Baba is our guardian and protector and he is now showing us his
presence." With the dream of one day travelling to Sai Baba's ashram in
Prashanti Nalayam, India, an emotional Naicker said she would continue serving
Sai Baba.
South African Sai Organisation president Dr Reggie Reddy said the "miracles"
were for the people of the house and their particular spiritual relationship
with Sai Baba.
"It is a personal and unique occurrence for their particular spiritual
evolution. It is for the family to realise the omnipresence, omnipotence and
omniscience of Sai Baba."
Reddy added that these manifestations "were to realise the comforter more than
the comforts - and the comforter is the Purna Avtaar of the age of Kaliyuga,
which is Sai Baba himself".
