Sathya Sai
Baba: the apostle of truth
Dalip Singh
Bhagavan
Sri Sathya Sai Baba is an embodiment of truth, righteousness,
peace and non-violence. This writer has been camping for the past
few weeks at Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh, the birth place of
Sathya Sai Baba. One fine morning, inspired and activated by a
divine impulse, he had a clear vision that the only remedy to
eliminate global terrorism lies in the divine intervention of
Sathya Sai Baba. He is the Yug Avthara. The same Rama and Krishna
who had incarnated in Thretha and Dwapar Yugas respectively.
Sathya Sai Baba is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. The
aim and purpose of his mission is to restore world order through
truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence. He can clarify
all queries regarding the existence of life on any planet since He
is the creator of the universe, which is his mansion. Funds now
being wasted in weaponry and outer space exploratory projects
should be diverted to the welfare of mankind thereby ushering in
the Golden Age of Sai Baba’s concept. Sai Baba is capable of
rendering all stockpiles of weapons ineffective, inoperative and
even make them disappear from earth. He says, “I can turn sky into
earth and earth into sky”.
The concept of the advent of Avtarhood has its birth in India.
Lord Krishna, the God Incarnate in Bhagavad Gita has stated,
“Whenever the practice of Dharma (righteousness) is on the wane,
restore Dharma Incarnate”. We should have been looking around to
trace the divine entity of Krishna’s concept in the prevailing
chaotic circumstances to seek His guidance. Fortunately for
humanity, Sai Baba compassionately and benevolently declared his
advent in these words:
“For the protection of the virtuous, for the destruction of
evil-doers and for establishing righteousness on a firm footing, I
incarnate from age to age. Whenever Ashanti (disharmony)
overwhelms the world, the Lord will incarnate in human form to
establish the modes of earning Prashanti (peace) and to re-educate
the human community in the path of peace”. Strife and discord have
robbed peace and unity from the family, the school, society, the
religions, the cities and the state. The arrival of the Lord is
also anxiously awaited by saints and sages. Sadhus (spiritual
aspirants) prayed and I have come”.
Sai Baba transformed Puttaparthi village into a modern town
with all the infrastructural facilities. It boasts of a university
where free education up to post-doctorate level is imparted to
students. It also has a most modern super-speciality hospital and
a mega water project supplying tap water to over a thousand
villages of Anantapur District.
Sri Aurobindo, the great seer, thinker, spiritual and
philosopher, had in his celestial heights experienced and
envisioned the descent of God on November 24, 1926. He announced
in unmistakable proclamation that God has descended on the earth.
But he did not know where exactly on earth God had descended.
Since that historically memorable day, November 24 has been
celebrated with pomp and show every year by his devotees the world
over as Siddha Day and The Revelation Day. Little anyone then had
realised that Sri Aurobindo’s revelation referred to Bhagavan Sri
Sathya Sai Baba having taken birth at Puttaparthi until He himself
had disclosed and declared it on May 23, 1940.
Sai Baba’s glance falls all around. He not only sees
everywhere; he is everywhere. How else can we explain the showers
of vibhuti (sacred ash) that falls from His pictures in the
shrines of devotees in lakhs of towns and villages all over the
country and abroad?
