"CHALLENGE" PUT TO SWAMI Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters, I wish to share my own experience of Swami. I was lucky enough to be present at Prashanti Nilayam on one of the Shivratri festival around 8 year back. I had this strange habit of putting swami to test every now and then-which i do even now. On that particular shivaratri day, we had been all singing bhajans whole night and around 4 am morning just an hour ago when swami was to grace the bhajans, i put him to test. I was sitting on second row from where i could have Swami's darshan to my heart's content. I challenged him to prove his divinity and thought to myself that if swami is really god, he would not let me have his darshan. Later i really cursed myself to have done that. I was confident enough and thought there is no way swami could take that challenge. It so happened that half an hour before swami was due to arrive i developed this vomiting sensation and i thought i must find bathroom soon. so i got up and hurried towards the bathroom nearby. when i went there to vomit ,the sensation left me and was wondering why am here. I then rushed towards mandir and found to my horror the gates were closed. I pleaded with the security saying i had already got a seat on the second row but to no avail. i was crying and went around to the front gate and stood there only to see swami from a distance...from the second row i was pushed to the place where swami could hardly be seen. i cried like a small child and prayed to have his darshan and to my astonishment saw swami walking towards our side...he came very near and he looked at me with a mischievous smile as if to taunt me. That was it, i had my baba's darshan...poor swami had to walk distance only to satisfy my quench...Om sai ram © Submitted to SBOI by GIRISH SANTHANAM
