Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One
and the Same

16. ASSERTION TO KANYAKUMARIS
In 1964 when Baba was visiting
Hyderabad ( Deccan), He was invited to the Ashram of Godavari Mata
(a disciple of Upasni Baba and Shirdi Baba). This pious lady also
heads an ashram of Kanyakumaris at Sakori, a village adjacent to
Shirdi. Baba graciously accepted the invitation and visited the
ashram at Hyderabad. The Kanyakumaris received Him with vedic
recitations, customary ritualistic pujas (worship) and the age old
'Poorna-Kumbham' ceremony. On this occasion unexpectedly and quite
de novo the kanyakumaris projected a strange and emotion filled
prayerful wish to Baba to allow them to stay permanently at
Prasanthi Nilayam. It appears that this sudden desire may have
arisen from Baba's revelation to them about His absolute Divinity
and the fact of identity between the Sais. Baba told them that
they must understand that He is always present everywhere and is
as much at Sakori as at Prasanthi Nilayam and that they should
stay foot at Sakori only.
