Baba had said he would come back stronger, claims book
TNN | Apr 24, 2011, 03.38am IST
PUTTAPARTHI: Did Sathya Saibaba have premonition 10 years ago that he would fall seriously ill? Yes, claim his followers. According to them, Saibaba had predicted in 2000 that he would be indisposed for 40 days but would come back strong to give darshan to his devotees.
This was revealed in a book `Tapovanam - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Saibaba Satcharitra Nityaparayanam' in which the author Jandhyala Venkateswara Sastry has written an essay on Baba's ill-health. Saibaba had told his students and followers at his Sai Shruti ashram in Kodaikanal in 2000: "Though most of my disciples fall at my feet, they don't know my real value. A time would come when I would vanish and take a walk across the skies. During that phase, my body would face serious health problems and devotees would be desperately praying for my recovery."
The Baba also goes on to say, according to the writer, that several gun-toting cops would be guarding the premises where he would be hospitalised.
As Saturday marked the 27th day of his stay in the SSSIHMS, many devotees said Baba would soon give darshan. "Time and place cannot hold me captive. I decide when to come back. If I want I can go anywhere and come back any time," he is said to have told students during the discourse.
"He had said that he would live for 96 years in his present avatar. After 40 days, he would come back. Just watch out," a devotee said even as he prayed for the Baba.

EL MISMO TEMA COMENTADO EN LA TELEVISIÓN DE INDIA: http://metroslive.com/tv9-sathya-sai-baba-talking-in-tapovanam-book/
Experiencia de un devoto.
Amigos de míos: este Jueves Santo no pude evitar ponerme otra vez muy triste con estas noticias, y sorpresivamente recibí una llamada al celular desde Benares. Se trata de una latina que vive allá. Me contó que ella tiene muy buena amistad con un Pandit ya muy mayor. Este señor le contó hace tres días que existe una carta que estando Baba muy pero muy joven, le escribió a una familia en que le decía que El a la edad delos 85 años, estaría 41 días en Samadhi. Hace dos semanas me uno de uds. el pronóstico de un reconocido astrólogo, cuando Swami inició este episodio, y mientras decían por todos lados que en tres días Baba volvería a Su Casa para el Ugadi, él pronosticó que El volvería pero luego del 14 de mayo. De verdad que no de di credibilidad. Pero si efectivamente lo que dice el Pandit es cierto, es coincidentemente para esas fechas que Swami saldría del Samadhi. Este es un comentario que a mí me llena de mucha fe y esperanza y por eso se los comparto. Estamos hartos de rumores. Pero de rumores negativos. Si hay algo así que resulta tan positivo, pues a mí por lo menos, me levantó el ánimo. Me afianzó la esperanza. Bueno. Esperemos que estos 15 o 16 días que faltan, no sé cuántos, se vayan rápido. Van a parecer interminables. El Pandit dice que la carta existe y que la tiene aún la familia. Pero familia humilde que no la prestaría para no hacer olas. QUIEN HA ESCRITO ESTO ES UN HERMANO DE COSTA RICA. POR DISCRECIÓN NO PONEMOS SU NOMBRE. |
