55. PERSEVERENCE FRUCTIFIES

 

Shri M. A. Venkatararnana Naidu, M.A.,B.L, has written an article in Sanathana Sarathi in August 1969, entitled, "How Baba Came Into   My Life". In this he writes that his parents had stayed in the physical presence of Shirdi Sainath and because of this he himself had come to worship Him, from his early youth. His elder daughter had been a great devotee of Shirdi Sai, for nearly two decades and had once in 1965 been rescued from a serious illness, following her second pregnancy. She also visited Prasanthi Nilayam and was blessed with an interview. To her amazement, Sri Sathya Sai Baba said      that He had known and accepted her devotion since twenty years. He told her that he knew she had named both her children after Him. She, her husband and Venkataramana's family have been enjoying the warmth of Bhagavan's Blessings, (Grace, Love and Compassion ever since that coveted day.
