When calamity strikes, Bhagavan Baba takes care of us, even more than a close relative would. So for all His devotees, He is Apathbandhava. Apathbandhava is more than any close relative! Those who have total faith in God surrender themselves completely to Him. According to their past karma, they have to encounter calamities; but at that time, God rushes to help and rescue them.

Here is a story to illustrate this. A devotee of Swami named Mr. Kulkarni lived in Bangalore. In July 1964, while performing Pooja in his worship room, he felt giddy and fainted. Mrs. Kulkarni and a servant were in the house at that time. The servant ran to the neighbour, Mr. Risbud, RISBUD, and informed him. Mr. Risbud along with another neighbour rushed to Mr. Kulkarni’s house.  They saw Kulkarni lying flat on the floor. So the two of them lifted him and put him on a bed. In doing so, they realized that his left side of the body was paralyzed. 

Mr. Risbud rushed to call the doctor. When Risbud returned with the doctor, he saw (Mrs.) Kulkarni sitting in the Pooja room. She was very calm and was engrossed in her prayers. Suddenly everyone noticed that Vibuthi started falling from Swami’s photograph. The doctor meanwhile diagnosed paralysis and started the treatment. The Vibuthi shower, came continuously for 4 days. Four days it stopped, but by then Mr. Kulkarni was out of danger and within 2 months returned back to normal.

What one understands from the story is Mrs. Kulkarni’s total faith in Swami. She had completely surrendered to Him. Yes! Through the Vibuthi, Swami showed His Divine presence and pulled Mr. Kulkarni out of danger and cured him completely. 

Mr. Kulkarni’s neighbour, Mr Risbud had a son who was undergoing some training in Mumbai. In order to come home to Bangalore, he took leave for a few days. Before reaching Bangalore, he got off the train at Dharmavaram station and came to Puttaparthi. He took Swami’s darshan and blessings and left for Dharmavaram in order to reach Bangalore. As he reached the station, the police stopped him and started asking a lot of questions. 

This was during the Indo-China war and the police were extra vigilant. Although they made a detailed enquiry, this young man was not afraid. Calmly he took Swami’s photo out of his pocket, showed it to the police and told them that he had gone for Swami’s darshan and was returning to his home town.

The moment they heard this, they let him go and his onward journey to Bangalore was uneventful and safe. That is Bhagavan Baba!

Swami says, “I am pure love! I only give bliss and through this bliss, you get love!” Innumerable devotees the world over have experienced Swami’s love. It has also been scientifically proved that He constantly showers love. 

In July 1976, a scientist named Dr. Frank Baronowski photographed Swami with a Kirlian camera. This is a special camera which can capture the aura that surrounds living beings. Dr. Baronowski had conducted a lot of research on this topic and had photographed many people from different fields and stratas of society in order to study their auras. When he observed Swami’s photographs, he was stunned because he had never ever come across such an aura, which was white, blue and pink in colour with streaks of gold and silver. These colours represent pure concentrated love. 

Here is a story about Swami’s pure love for His devotees. In 1966, a couple from a middle class background went to Prasanthi Nilayam for Swami’s darshan. Swami showered His grace and called them for an interview. 

In this interview, He told the lady, “Even if you have not told anybody the real reason for your sorrow, I know about it! Your husband thinks you are sad because of the financial constraints, but that’s not true! You are sad because you are worried. You are worried about your brother. You call Me your Mother, Father, Guru, Brother and Friend, isn’t it? Then why do you worry? From now on, you will be free from worry. Go home happily!”

Then they returned home happy with Swami’s blessings. There was a big surprise awaiting them. The reason was very unusual. This lady’s brother had participated in 1942 freedom struggle. He had got injured badly in the police lathi-charge. He had been struck on his head and had fallen unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he had suffered from loss of memory. The lady was worried about the brother’s condition and especially concerned about his well-being after she would pass away. But Sai, who is the embodiment of love, gave her the assurance and removed her worry. 

When the couple returned home, the brother was standing in the doorway awaiting their arrival. After a long span of 24 years, he had recovered miraculously and was a normal man. This was a gift from Premaswaroopa Sai!
