Ms. V. Subha Prada, a student of the B.Ed. 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.

'My grandmother was due for a cataract operation in the year 2001. She had undergone preliminary examinations towards the end of May 2001 at the CMC Hospital, Vellore. Since the lens suitable to my grandmother's eye was not available immediately, the operation got delayed for more than two months. The doctor, after making every effort to procure the lens from a company located in Mumbai, suggested that she could go through the operation without a lens. He also clarified that any further delay in getting the operation done would cause the cataract to burst. The doctor was also scheduled to go to London for six months. As we did not have any other alternative, we decided to allow the operation to take place without a lens.

My grandmother was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday morning, and the operation was to be done on Thursday. There was no sign of the lens arriving until Wednesday evening. My grandmother was taken to the operation theatre at around 7 a.m. on Thursday. She was continuously chanting the magic words 'Sai Ram'. Even while she was being taken to the operation theatre, my father kept praying to God for the success of the operation. Just then, a nurse came to the room and informed that we should contact the doctor immediately. My father rushed to the operation theatre with anxiety. After some time, the doctor came out of the operation theatre, and showed the lens that had just arrived. It was of the same size needed for my grandmother, a size not manufactured usually. The lens arrived at the correct time. Thus, my grandmother developed unshakeable faith in Bhagavan.'
