      Mr. S.D.Sapan (56), a retired employee, relates his experience of the Divinity of Bhagavan in his own words.

'Many years ago, I had a son. When he was three months old, one day he raised his hand and pointed to the sky with his pointing finger. He did this as if a grownup child had done it. He did like that thrice.

Next day the kid passed away suddenly. There was no problem with his health. No disease at all. We thought that the boy had told us that he was going to join Sai soon.

In 2002, I came to Prasanthi Nilayam and gave a letter to Swami. 'I want to construct a house of my own' I wrote, 'and I want to show a film on Bhagavan to all, free of charge on the day of housewarming'.

That day, I got the first row. But in the last minute, they brought a VIP and made him sit before me. Swami came and stood in front of us. He materialised akshatas and sprinkled on the VIP's head and then on me also. I collected all akshatas that had fallen on me and mixed them in the rice bag at our house on return. Owing to Swami's grace, my house was ready as per schedule. I went to Sri Sathya Sai Samithi people and wanted them to arrange a film show on Swami in front of my new house. 'How do you think it is possible?' they asked, 'we don't have either the equipment or the film'.

'Let us buy' I said.

'It costs more than a lakh' they said, 'it is impossible. Our Samithi can't afford'.

I did not lose faith. I continued to pray to Swami. 'Swami took the letter' I used to say, 'the first part, that is, construction of a new house by me was fulfilled. The second part also will be done'.

On second thoughts, the Samithi people began to like the idea. Soon they started collecting money and bought the equipment. Someone brought a CD on Swami. On the day of housewarming of my new house, they showed the film on Swami before my house. It was February 4, 2004.'
