Anantapur Campus.
Ms. C.R.Krupa, a student of the third year B.Com (Hons) of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute
of Higher Learning, Anantapur Campus narrates a few of her experiences of the Divinity
of Bhagavan in her own words.
'As a third standard school girl, I attended the Sri Sathya Sai Balvikas classes
in our neighbourhood. Impressed by the Sai principles, we took to the Sai path.
However when I reached my ninth standard, we heard of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
Now we also made trips to the Aurobindo ashram at Pondicherry. Some friends advised
us not to waver but to stick to one God. This observation disturbed the equipoise
of my mind. I wished to receive a clarification from Bhagavan, but didn't know how
it would come. Later, I was reading the book 'Shri Sathya Sai Divya Kripashraya'.
There, in Chapter 18, Shri Narasimha Murthy mentions Shri V. K. Gokak's experience.
He says, 'within a year, Gokak had a number of experiences including a few dreams,
which made him realize that Swami has in Him Shri Aurobindo and the Mother also.'
On March 31, 2004, we boarded a bus at Anantapur to travel to Chennai, our home
town, for summer vacation. As the bus started, I habitually prayed to Swami. Immediately
a voice within me said, 'you and your luggage are safe.' I was very happy; but was
quite puzzled about the stress on the word 'luggage.' Around 7 a.m. the next morning
we reached Chennai. As we alighted and started unloading our luggage from the top
of the bus, to our astonishment, we noticed that the rope was cut. The entire luggage
was unloaded one by one, and I found my suitcase safe. However, we soon discovered
that around fifteen suitcases were missing. I was immediately reminded of the voice
that had said, 'you and your luggage are safe.'
