The Spring of Divine Sakthis
( Twelve Concomitant Proofs of
Divine Majesty )
(ARJAN D. BHARWANI)
Dr K M. Munshi, a great follower of Gandhiji, one of the
architects of free India, a famous Gujarati writer and the founder of Bharatiya
Vidya Bhavan, on his first meeting with Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, which
took place on 15th May, 1968, involuntary uttered “I came, I saw and
I was conquered.”
Exactly after two months on 15th July 1968, while addressing a
mammoth gathering at Dharmakshetra, Bombay, Dr Munshi broke down with heart
felt emotions and he spoke these soul stirring words
“I was pained to see around me the quick decline of faith in God and
earnestness in religion and I was on the brink of despair when I contemplated
the future of this ancient land. But as I look upo Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
and witness the transformation He is affecting in the heart of millions, I am
heartened and and happy.”
Dr. Samuel Sandweiss, M.D. the author of a popular book entitled
"SAI BABA THE HOLY MAN AND THE PSYCHIATRIST," has written about his personal and unique experiences with
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Prior to writing this book he came specially from
the U.S.A. with the intention of researching and investigating. Ultimately he
came to realize that Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is Divine Incarnation of God.
This is what be expressed in a letter to his wife. “There is no doubt in my
mind that Sai Baba is Divine. I astound myseIf to say such a thing ! I believe,
I cannot even communicate the experience. I know alI this isn't hypnosis, mass
delusion, hallucination, hysteria and effect of cultural shock or drug
intoxication. It is too simple to say I saw a materialisation and then all of a
sudden changed. I marvel at the experience, unable to relate it fully, joyful
that I am able to share it with so many who are witnessing it. I believe, Baba
to be an Incarnation of God".
Shri R. K. Karanjia,
the Editor of a popular English Weekly 'BLITZ', on his return from Puttaparthi
after his first meeting with Baba, wrote in his paper dated 11th September 1976
in bold capital letters, ';GOD IS AN INDIAN." He went on to write that
during the darshans at Puttaparthi, "The impact or compact between the
devotees and their Bhagavan was immediate, electric, powerful. I saw the poor
devotees come first, the rich last. In the middle was I - a sceptic, a critic,
a Marxist who had in the past openly questioned and criticised Sathya Sai
Baba." He further adds in Blitz dated 25th September 1976, "As I
have already admitted the encounter was fantastic, almost shattering one, that
does not mean, that I have been bribed, bought, hypnotised, converted or
otherwise influenced by Baba."
In another article Mr. Karanjia writes, "He went on to amaze
me with knowledge of the most intimate developments affecting my life and work.
He appeared also to know beforehand the questions I had planned to ask. As soon
as I began asking one He would stop me with a gentle tap on the knee to begin
answering it. I never completed a question, still I got all the answers.
