Mr. Manohar Rao (29), an Executive in the Bharat Cellular Ltd, relates his experiences in his own words.

'My father, Mr. K.Ramalingeswara Rao, a resident of Hyderabad, was a devotee of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba all his adult life. My parents were married in July 1963. For nearly eleven years, they had no issue. My parents came to Puttaparthi in 1973 and prayed to Bhagavan sitting in the Darshan lines. They held a letter seeking progeny. Swami took it. I was born in August 1974. One month before my birth, that is, in July 1974, vibhuti emanated from Swami's Photograph in their house. At that time, my parents were in Sonepet, Haryana. My parents used to tell me that I was born as a boon of Bhagavan.

I visited Puttaparthi for the first time in 1999. Though Bhagavan blessed my parents with progeny, somehow, they did not visit Puttaparthi again. They, however, had Darshan of Swami at Hyderabad when Bhagavan came there. During the time of my visit to Puttaparthi, I was working in a travel company. I was not happy with the job and prayed to Bhagavan, in frustration, to give me a better job. Miraculously, I got an opportunity to go to the USA within two months with a good placement there. Since then, there has been no looking back for me. I am now placed comfortably in life and am happily married to Shilpi from Ambala. I am now with the Bharat Cellular Ltd in Delhi.'
