SAI BABA’S JOSS STICK MIRACLE

Around 08.00 Hrs, my father, two sisters and myself paid a courtesy visit to Mrs. Subba Rao (on 16-10-1977), whom Baba highly favors by appearing in her vision during the meditation.

I informed her of my then proposed visit to Shirdi on 20.10-77 and sought her blessing.

She obliged me and revealed that in a vision Sai Baba pointed to my Sai Shrine and wished her to burn Joss sticks there.

Most enthusiastically she reached for a new packet of “Jan Sugandh” Joss sticks and handed it to me.

On our return home at about 09.15 Hrs. My daddy lit one Joss stick, waved it four times around the Lotus feet of Sai Baba, which I had brought last year after consecrating on Baba’s Samadhi at Shirdi Sai Mandir, fixed it on our ever-bright steel.

Lotus-shaped Joss Stick stand and went to the entrance door just to pose for a photograph. I took a low angle long shot of him and sped away.

My father later said that immediately after my exit, there burst in a dark complexioned reed-like Lord Muruga Devotee woman wearing a thick yellow sari with a gold-hued large image of Goddess Mariamman placed erect on a bamboo winnower, resting on her bosom and held tight by both her palms.

Staying firm on the ground, she requested him in faulty Tamil for a “piece of Joss Stick” and added in the same breath of his sus­picion over her request particularly for this item instead of cash.

She, no doubt, read his mind, for he took her for a “tantrik” in his mind and lost his bearing for a while.

On regaining his composure, he handed to her “one piece of a joss stick” with pleasure.

She then requested him to light it and to give her.

He, of course, dismissed it politely. She later on cautiously alighted the flight of steps from our first floor residence and vanished from his view.

He had never beheld her before. On 19th October 1977, around 08.15, our relation V. Raghunathan dropped in with .his young daughter and fed my parents with an interesting confirmatory news.

When Mrs. Lalitha Raghunathan visited Mrs. Subba Rao a couple of days before the joss stick drama, Mrs. Rao told her that

Sai Baba appeared in her vision again, touched on this joss stick drama and confirmed His Hand in it.

Our Sadguru Sai Baba’s ways are inscrutable indeed !
