When we talk to some seniors who are above eighties or close to nineties, you will be surprised to know some of their experiences, and very hard to believe what they have been talking to us. In those days, very few devotees used to visit Puttaparthi. Very few! There was a lady by name Kamalamma – KAMALAMMA, who happens to be the second wife of the Village Head. She was just 12 years old then. She happened to see Swami at that age for the first time. Swami was wearing half shirts and started moving among the devotees.Whenever she thinks of those days, the incidents haunt her memory. 

Swami, soon after His return from Uravakonda, one day visited Kamalamma at her residence and said, “Kamalamma, do you think that I am on ordinary man? No, Kamalamma! No! I am God! Verily I am Eshwara, Eshwara! You will see My miracles in future. You will also witness them. You believe Me!” That’s what Baba said.

Since then, she has been experiencing series of miracles. Swami, after taking bath, will have a small towel around His waist, stand in front of Shirdi Baba’s photo and offer coconuts to that Shirdi Bhagavan. At that moment He said, “I am not a devil! I am Shirdi Baba! I want to get into the body of this boy, Sathya Narayana, and so I am putting this body to all kinds of tests and challenges!” It only means this declaration made by Shirdi Baba Himself; and Baba was only a medium. A very young boy standing there, innocent boy! 

Later, Swami materialized delicious fruits and flowers and after Arathi, He goes to sleep. Then the others would make Swami get up, give Him some cloth, what you call Pancha – PANCHA and give Him some shirt and call Him for food. Only Swami used to eat in silver plate, while others are served food on leaves, leaves. He used to mix up all the items and eat. He doesn’t waste any food at all and finally He used to take rest at the residence of Kamalamma.

In those days, right from morning till midnight, Swami granted interviews, materialized Vibuthi to each and every one. Diseases were cured, problems were solved! Whatever they asked, Swami used to oblige them. 

Once Kamalamma asked, “Swami, Why do You grant so many interviews to these people?”

Then Swami replied, “If I don’t do this, nobody will come to Me, not even a crow, not even a crow! But you will see thousands and thousands of devotees will be reaching here to have My darshan. Then you will know My glory!” said Baba.

Today, it has proved to be correct. In those days, at least 10 bullock cart-loads of men and women visited this place every day. They used to stay here for months and months. The first wife of the Village Head is Subbamma – SUBBAMMA. Subbamma and Kamalamma, they cooked food for all these devotees until they go to sleep. 

Sometimes, in the midnight, Swami used to wake up Kamalamma. “Kamalamma, call them! I will give them interview and send them or else you may have to cook for them tomorrow!” And the convention in those days was, nobody left without partaking food. Nobody left without having an interview. And in those days, these people used to dine with Swami day and night.

Swami, as I said, used to mix rice and all the items into a big morsel, a big morsel – a big ball-like thing and distribute one, one to each! And surprising thing is, the food served to Him was adequate enough for all of them!

Swami took Subbamma to Kalpa Vruksha – wish-fulfilling tree, and asked her to pluck the leaves. Every day, whatever type of fruits they wanted, they could go and get that fruit from the tree. There was one man by name Navaneetham Naidu, Navaneetham Naidu. His daughter wanted dosa. Swami materialized hot, hot dosas – pile of dosas! 

Swami used to ask these people “Get some small container!” The moment Swami touches it, it is filled with Amrutham! With all this, Swami still looked like a child, very innocent! All the flowers – jasmine flowers, brought from the neighbourhood, they were all made into a beautiful Mala – MALA by Bhagavan. Sometimes, He used to sleep on the bed of flowers. 

Swami played games with them. But in every game, He was the winner! And there was one very old servant by name Bheemappa. Very old man! He fetched water from Chitravathi. He sings very well and makes everyone laugh. And this Bheemappa relishes chillies very much. Chillies! And while eating, he consumes at least 10 chillies, 10 chillies at least! So Swami made him sing songs and presented him chillies as a gift!

With all that, it has been said, Swami does not tolerate any small mistake. He will correct it, however small it is! One day, Kamalamma Garu was serving food, and Swami said, “Serve some more curry!” As ill luck would have it, she served curry with her left hand. Swami had hit her hand immediately. When Kamalamma thinks of that incident, she feels the pain even this day!
