Mrs. B. Lakshmi (48), a Lecturer, relates a few of her experiences of the Divinity of Bhagavan in her own words.

'I have been brought up in an environment of devotion to Sri Sathya Sai as my father Mr. K.V.R. Rao was a longstanding devotee of Bhagavan. He wrote many books for Balvikas children. I too was a member of Balvikas. I was in the first batch of Stree Sevadal trainees (group 3) and received the certificate from the Divine Hands of Bhagavan at Prasanthi Nilayam in the seventies.

My son Sai Prashanth was born on November 9, 1984 with congenital hypothyroid problem. Luckily, it was detected very early and we could start medication. One day when he was about 3 months old, the aya was giving him bath when he suddenly turned blue. I thought that he had some attack and cried, 'Father! Come immediately. Babu is seriously ill'. My father was doing pooja. My mother, on hearing my cries, ran to the family Doctor. My father came immediately to the baby, put vibhuti on the forehead of the baby saying loudly in a tone of anxiety, 'Sai Ram! Sai Ram!' Next moment, a miracle happened. The baby who had turned even black and whose tongue had come out as if he was passing out opened his eyes. Soon he became normal and active. His complexion regained the normal hue. My mother returned without the Doctor. And, there was no need of him, too.

Later, Swami came to Dharmakshetra (Mumbai). My father and we all went for Darshan. When Swami came near my father, my father wanted to thank Swami for saving my son. But before he uttered 'Swami!' completely, Swami said, 'naaku telusu' (I know), and did not allow him to speak. Then Swami turned towards some VIPs sitting there and said in English, 'he (my father) called me and I went, revived his grandson who had passed out'. Then Swami explained to them all that had happened on that day with all details. He then walked to the place where I sat with my son and told me, 'don't worry. I will take care of him'. He materialized vibhuti and gave it to my son.

In 1985, one of our relatives went to Bhagavan for Darshan and broached about the health of my son. Swami told him, 'tell her (me) not to worry'. He materialized a pendant and gave it to my relative to hand it over to me for my son. My son is now studying Engineering.

Sometime back, I took the prediction about me from Agastya Nadi. It said, 'you will get something from your Master when you attain an age of 48'. On February 8, 2004, I went to Sri Sathya Sai Mandiram in Malkajgiri. There I was given some powder of turmeric. In it I found a coin on one side of which there are Pictures of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman. On the other side, there is Aum (Devanagari script). They told me, 'Swami gave you that. You take it'. Is this what was mentioned in Agastya Nadi that I would receive from my Master? When this happened, my age was 48.'
