THIS IS THE PICTURE OF THE HEALING LINGAM MANIFESTED BY SWAMI AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH MANY HEALING INSTANCES. IN JANUARY 1994, WHEN CONNIE SHAW, AUTHOR OF MARY’S MIRACLES AND PROPHECIES GAVE A TALK IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, U.S.A., SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE RELIEVED OF PAINS THE MOMENT THEIR AFFLICTED PARTS WERE TOUCHED UPON WITH THIS LINGAM PHOTO. READ MORE ABOUT THIS AT THE END.
(Or the transformation of me had begun in September 1991 itself without my realising it!?)
I bought whatever books I fancied, including a video tape of Swami singing Bajan and at a strech for many days, started reading the books and daily morning having the blissful experience of listening and viewing Swami’s bhajans in his heavenly voice.
I could not keep down any of the books until I was completely finished with it. I went through different kinds of feelings and emotional disturbances; divine ecstasy, when Swami as Satya the 13-plus-year-old boy beckoned the revered vedic scholar " Narayana Sastri" to correct him, because "he was giving an absurd exposition of 'Bhagavatam'" and how the scholar first failed to comprehend our Avatar but later upon hearing Satya’s simple and lucid exposition of "Hamsa Gita", prostrated before the young Lord.
Piercing pain in my heart when I read about how an exorcist, stretching over a number of days, tormented and tortured our young Lord by chiselling out three ‘X’ marks on his head, poured into these wounds, a burning mixture of potions of lime, acids and salts and finally prepared a pungent and very dangerous ointment called "Kalikam" and applied it on the eyes of Satya.! all due to ignorance of the parents and the sorcerer and their failure in distinguishing between "Devil and Divinity"; all of them mistook Satya for displaying Divinity in his young age as "possessed by devil".(Read a detailed heart-rending account of it in Ra. Ganapati's "Baba: Satya Sai Part I")
Then I had a feeling of despair and frustration as well, because during early 1966 when Sathya Sai Baba visited Coimbatore and was giving darhsan to some lucky devotees in Sai Baba Colony, I just went there out of curiosity, but my bad Karma and misfortune were reigning on top of me; I did not feel attracted to go near him as I thought he had lots of make-up like a film-star and looked more like M.K. Thiagaraja Bhagavathar, the actor-musician of the early Tamil films(!?)
How this misfortune and bad karma continued to devastate me throughout for nearly twenty-seven years from 1967 till 1993, is a different story by itself.
However in 1987, I had the slight fortune of getting a framed Saibaba’s picture, the glass of which was missing. I promptly fixed it and just kept it along with the pictures of other deities without in the least realising the transformation that was building inside me.
This lingam was manifested during a discourse to college students at Whitefield. Many people have been healed by touching this photo to their bodies. An Indian doctor, Dr Doraisingham from London, raised a child from the dead by holding the photo against his body. Sai Baba says that wherever this photo is kept, there will be blessings, healings and miracles.
Here is the write up on it in Connie Shaw's Book, Mary's Miracles and Prophecies (pg 270):
On May 5, 1991, Sathya Sai Baba materialized a golden egg that has several names and is rich with symbolism. Baba said that the Hiranyagarbha Lingam (Golden Heart Lingam) "contains the entire universe in microscopic form. It is a manifestation of the Trinity - Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva (God as the Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer). It is also the Atmic consciousness (Holy Spirit) - like a thread running through a pearl necklace. It is at the Spiritual Heart." In the Spiritual Heritage Museum in Puttaparthi there is a quote by Baba referring to the lingam (lingams in general) as the "Cosmic Seed of Creation."
After Sai Baba had manifested it, He said that it is a great blessing for anyone to receive this photo and that it should be kept in every home. His energy will work miracles through it. This is the first time anyone has every heard Baba say this about any photo.
Dr M Doraisingham, whom I have never met, who sent the photo to me from England, sent the following story in a four and a half page letter. Baba had just materialized the Golden Lingam while standing on the auditorium stage at the Trayee Brindavan Summer Course assembly.
Baba asked Professor Sampath to hold the lingam awhile so that Baba could watch the student cultural program. Professor Sampath is Vice Chancellor of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Puttaparthi, South India; he was thrilled beyond words. During the hour that Professor Sampath kept the lingam he became warm and said that he was in a "state of divine ecstasy".
After the conclusion of the cultural program, Swami played a little joke on Professor Sampath. He touched the professor's pocket as if to brush off some dust. Later, as they were riding in the car together, Baba asked Professor Sampath for the Golden Lingham. In his excitement to return the lingam to Baba, Professor Sampath searched everywhere - his shirt pocket, trouser pocket, the car seat. Be he couldn't find it. Finally Baba gave a joyful laugh and said that He had sent the Golden Lingam back where it had come from.
Dr Doraisingham also said that on June 7, 1991, while walking to darshan to see Baba, he came upon a dead child beside the roadside, held by his mother. The doctor had just been given the Golden Lingam photo and held it against the child, who had just fallen out of an overcrowded van onto the road and been killed. He chanted "Om Sai Ram" many times while praying to Baba and massaged the boy's chest and abdomen. The dead child was restored to life with the energy of Sai moving through the photo and the next day, in an interview with a friend of Dr Doraisingham, Baba confirmed the entire incident.
Baba impressed upon the doctor to stop, to heal the child using the photo, and later said to Professor Anil Kumar, "The child was dead at that point in time."
In January of 1994, when this author (Connie Shaw) gave a talk in Houston, Texas, USA, on the lingam photo, several people were healed on the spot simply by touching it to the afflicted area. For example, a few people who had experienced headaches that very moment were relieved of pain. One man was in pain from kidney stones; he placed the photo against his lower back in the kidney area and the sharp stabbing pains vanished.
