  Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One and the Same

7. MYSTERIOUS MATERIALISATION OF SHIRDI SAI PORTRAIT 

Bhagavan Baba's sister Venkama, had been pestering .Him to materialise a picture of Shirdi Sai. She had heard many bhajans composed by her brother which gave a beautiful description of the majesty and splendour of Shirdi Sai,  Dwarkamayi, Samadhi-Mandir, Udhi, the Margosa tree there and a number of strange phenomenon associated with Shirdi. Assessing her devotion and keen desire, Baba promised to give her such a portrait on a particular Thursday. A day prior to the promised Thursday Baba left for Uravakonda. On the night of the promised Thursday, when all were fast asleep at Putta­parthi, some one called out "Ammayi "' at her door. She got up, lit a lamp and began a search. Behind one of the jowar hags she found a rolled up white paper. On picking up and unrolling it, what should she see, but the promised portrait of Shirdi Sai!

Another such incident occurred with one Kunjappa Sadhu, the head of the Thanjavur Vijayapuram Durga Ashram. This venerable sage happened to be physically handicapped and a patient of diabetes, hence he could not under­take a long journey to Puttaparthi for Baba's darshans. Very early on the morning of 17th June 1965, someone knocked at his door. Kunjappa opened it. There stood an unknown visitor holding a picture in his outstretched hand. He handed over this and instantaneously disappeared. The picture left behind was that of Shirdi Sai. The sceptic friends of the Sadhu did not believe that Parthi Baba could have come all the way to Vijayapuram and yet was unable to enter Kunjappa's room. Next day, however, Kunjappa felt something on his bed – Lo! one more copy of the previous one'.
