45. ANANDA THROUGH SHIRDI SAI FORM.

 

Though the Divine phenomenon of granting the darshan of one's 'Ishta' has already been mentioned, yet one cannot help stating the fact that repetition of such a happening has been most often in the form of Shirdi Sai. Certainly the close affinity to the immediately preceding habiliment enforces even the 'Absolute Divine', to manifest as that embodiment more than any other of His multiple incarnations. To illu­strate the point we may cite a couple of examples

 

Under desperate circumstances, a Brahmin family from Bangalore once came to Parthi to seek solace. After a few days stay, they were leaving with heavy hearts when Swami beckoned them and told them that He would give them joy enroute. The journey started. They saw Shirdi Sai sitting at the foot of a hill. He got up, climbed the hill and waved His handkerchief towards them. The vision ended, the sunken hearts got elated joy and happiness started.

 

The Malaysian author J. Jegathesan, while returning from his first visit to Sathya Sai was bestowed the vision of Shirdi Sai, waving His hand in blessing.
