SRI SATHYA SAI HRUDAYA NIVASI (INDWELLER OF HEARTS) Chapter –10
The Vision of Aura “Love is God” is ever the repeated maxim of Swami. The God incarnate Bhagavan Baba is Himself embodiment of Love. If only we spend a few minutes in His Divine presence with intense love and prayers, in our hearts, we can easily and positively experience the strong divine love flowing from Him. Swami’s love envelopes everybody, even in an assembly of over lakhs of devotees, who throng for His Darshan. One has only to experience this bliss all by himself to understand what Divine Love is. The Divine Love pulls multiplying millions of devotees to his very presence. In Dwapara Yuga, it was the melody of Lord Krishna’s flute which made the devotees of Brindavan to gravitate towards His presence. The Gopi's lost consciousness of their body, mind and spirit, dropped their work and other activities. They were absorbed in the melody. How lucky we are to witness today the re-enactment of the same phenomenon by Sai Krishna at Parthi. The devotees run to catch a glimpse of Swami even at a murmur of the news that Swami’s car is approaching. They feel elated and truly blessed by the chance Darshan even of a fleeting second as the car passes through. Once Swami graced me with a rare chance of following His car from Puttaparthi to Whitefield. Swami’s tour program is always unpredictable and un-announced. Nobody can dare to set the exact timings of such tour program. On that blissful day, even though some close persons accompanying Swami received information of the time of His departure, Swami left Parthi about one and half hours earlier. I was fortunate to be provided with the experience of following Swami’s car. I had been directed to take our place as the fourth car in the caravan. However, since the other cars did not show up along with Swami’s car, I made a quick decision and followed Swami’s car as the second one, for quite a long distance till other cars showed up. I could not really believe the emotionally surcharged send off given by the devotees, even at such short notice. From the Gopuram gate onwards up to and far beyond the gate of Super Specialty Hospital, devotees had lined up in good strength on both sides of the road. Even the devoted Sai Geetha turned up with her majestic presence to greet Swami as the car passed by the side of the gates of her shed. Hundreds of devotees were showering flower petal on the car. I saw many of them breaking coconuts on the street, in front of the car. Indeed it looked like a real car festival in our villages when people offer special poojas in front of the Divine Car, as it passes through the village streets. Swami’s car was bedecked with the petals offered by devotees. But the measure of attraction, which the Divinity drew all along the villages and the agricultural fields had to be seen to be believed. The villagers were out in the streets in time for the Divine Darshan. Many agricultural laborers were seen running towards the approaching caravan of Swami’s car and others on the road. How did all these villagers and agricultural workers come to know and that too the time of Swami’s moving presence in their area? It could only be divinity-induced situation, which foretold the people in the villages the possibility of the Divine Darshan! It didn't end there. The approach road towards Whitefield from the highways was also lined up with devotees. As the Car neared the gate of Thrayee Brindavan, I could see the crowd getting very thick and the whole compound was filled with devotees. Swami had declared several times, that unless He wills it, one couldn’t gain access to His Divine presence. It may seem that Divine Darshan is obtained very easily whenever we go to His abode, since Swami walks
