3 years ago was the first time I was going to Puttaparthi to see Bhagavan Sri Satya Sai Baba. I went for His 71st Birthday celebrations & also my 21st birthday the next day. I always longed for the moment to see Swami face to face. On 24th Nov (my birthday) I had a chance to sit in the front row as I met an Aunt from Malaysia who is a regular visitor to Parthi. As Swami was giving darshan...all my attention & thoughts were only on Him.... that I had been so fortunate in this life to see the living God with my eyes. Tears were filled in my eyes. As I look at the small form of grace, joy & love walk the aisles of the darshan hall like a swan, I forget myself chanting His Name. I saw Swami so far away at the men's side. The next thing I recollect, He was standing right infront of me gazing into my eyes with that tender loving look of Mother Sai....It was a moment of joy unexplainable by words.....Even now, as I recollect, tears of joy seem to be filling my eyes....  I knew that day that He's always with me & listening to all the things that I say to Him & He fulfilled my birthday wish that day - His Padha Namaskar. Now....I have nothing more to ask Him except for His Love....& I feel Him being with me, always....

Thank you for bringing up such a wonderful topic to share with each other...to me THIS is real electronic satsang!!! And thanks to others already posting under this topic I can never hear enough about experiences with our Beloved Sai!!!

I suppose one amazing aspect of darshan to me is the uncanny coincidences that happen. Such as a glance exactly at the time in response to an inner thought. During one trip I had a personal issue that went on for days. During darshan I was praying hard to understand what was happening to me about this issue...as days before Baba went by and no revelation. Love..peace..but no resolution.  I closed my eyes as he was now off to the mens side and really looked deep within...after some time..it was like a light bulb went off..and I saw the issue absolutly clearly and the answer and resolution all at once. I opened my eyes and Baba was standing right in front of me looking deeply into my now astonished face!!! OM SAI RAM!! He continues to amaze me this way as it has happend several times subsequently.

It was either my very first or second darshan ever,  I found myself in first
row, Baba came and took my letter and stopped and looked so deeply into my eyes..time stood still...well I am sure many of you know..an eternity in a moment. What I felt from that look to this day still surfaces and shows deeper and deeper revelations. At that moment the feeling was was "I know you, I have known you for a thousand lifetimes, and I have come to take you home".........
