  Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai are One and the Same
By Arjan D. Bharwani

51. 'PROPERTlES'-CARRIED FORWARD 

Let us recapitulate another scene in this 'leela drama' that Divinity is unfolding for us to behold. His Holiness Gayathri Swami, disciple of H. H. Narasimhabharathi Swami, Sankaracharya of Sringeri Peetam, had first visited Shirdi Sai, in the year 1906, and had thereafter been associated with Him off and on. This side actor enters the stage at a point when he visited Prasanthi Nilayam in 1966-67 and stayed on there, for a few days. He narrated many an admirable and astonishing incidents and occurrences that had happened at Shirdi.

This could well be compared with the famous'Jodi Adipalli Somappa' and the ' Don't Shoot' miracle (already described in Sai Prakash Series - (1) (Pages 10 to 14). The details of his descri­ptions of the day to day episodes and events at Shirdi, fitted in well, almost in approximate duplicity with those being witnessed at Parthi, in most cases the happenings could be superimposed. Whilst he was still there, Gayathri Swamiji was blessed with a Divine vision of Shirdi Sai, in which Sainath told him,"l have left the Samadhi after eight years therein and I have brought away all my properties fifteen years later". The following morning to his delight and ecstatic experience the Swamiji, was told by the Parthi devotees that Sri Sathya Sai had taken birth in the year 1926, that is eight years after the Maha­samadhi (15th October, 1918 at Shirdi and that it was in the fifteenth year of the sojourn in the present body, that Bhagavan declared His reincarnation with all its attributes and sakthis (Properties). In fact, here we may mention, that the Parthi Sai is an advanced version of the prototype at Shirdi. The intense craving of Gayathri Swami for an interview (so common a longing amongst the devotees visiting Prasanthi Nilayam) seemed to be fulfilled to the Swamiji's entire satisfaction, by this unique vision.
