Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One
and the Same
By Arjan D. Bharwani
10. DISCLOSURE TO THE TEACHERS
While Sathya Sai was a student at
Bukkapatnam, two teachers had become friendly with Him. They
subsequently visited Puttaparthi. The personal experiences they
had, are worth considering. Shri Subbanachar openly declares, My
first impression of Sathya Sai was that He was a great devotee
like Prahlada. I saw Him doing miraculous deeds. I was convinced
beyond doubt that this Boy is not an ordinary human being but One
who has in Him Divine powers, beyond the natural. It actually
happened so! He made us wonderstruck, when the 'mad boy' of
Puttaparthi lifted the curtain and established that He was none
other than the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai. From the time He told
us that He would narrate to us the life story of His previous body
,we were extremely happy and remained very anxious and desirous of
hearing the unique story of the previous life, particularly the
childhood and the first sixteen years (which had not appeared in
print upto then). We considered ourselves extremely_fortunate,
that Baba was going to bestow upon us the gift, which we had pined
for. As promised, Baba narrated to us the beautiful story at
night. We saw Shirdi Sai in human form, concrete in flesh and
alive, standing before us in factual existence. Ah: What a
Supreme Divine Ananda! What an unlimited and infinite Grace He
conferred on us.
At that tender age the growing
luminary of the legend of the Saga of Sais, narrated to these
revered teachers, a chronological account of the events of His
previous life at Shirdi. The story has been published in 102
Telugu Slokas in a book entitled "Sree Sayesuni Charitra" in the
year 1944.
The other teacher Shri V.C.Kondappa
narrates the details of Shirdi Sai’s parentage, birth and
childhood as told to them by Sri Sathya Sai.
