Miracle statue in Puttaparthy

[Tammy Ranga]

Om Sairam dearest Sai Family,
As i type this email, thousands are heading towards the house where the miracle happened this morning. So many students, ashram staff, VIPs, Swami's family members you name them and every one are there.
The artist, brother Rahim, who made this statue is completely speechless. The wife of the artist, who first saw this miracle speaking to the media, said they came from a place called Cuddapah (about 7 hours from Parthi) in search of livelihood. Her husband, who has been blessed with such a rare gift of painting Swami so beautifully came to Puttaparthi hoping to make their living.
Swami, amidst prayers from the whole Sai Community all over the world, chose this "Sai Artist" to reveal (once more) His omnipresence by blessing with fragrant oil. The lady was saying, she has now full faith in Swami and she said, because of prayers of millions, Swami has shown to the world that He is perfectly all right and He will be coming to the ashram very soon with sound health. She added ,this also reiterates the fact that with Swami Hinudus or Muslims doesnt make any difference, what matters is your nobel deeds. How true is this statement which came from a very innocent house wife of a poor man. When the society is in harmony, all will be fine with Swami..
Sisters and brothers, lets not stop praying for our beloved Lord, this is a rare chance for us to Pray for the divine, which inturn will earn us good merits...
Attached are some photos of the statue..
with pranams at the Lotus Feet of our beloved Lord,
Sairam

Times are tough and tough times call for tough measures. They also separate real from unreal. Let us try to face whatever comes without any judgment. Faith always triumphs and sails across turbulent waters, but where we land finally would depend on how we sailed our journey. The situation which we are trying to come to terms with now will come again in future too. What shall we do then? We need limitless reservoir of faith and belief which comes from our own inside and we do not need to rely on external triggers anymore, they are crutches. Let our understanding and relationship with Baba go to next level, let us discover him in our heart more and more everyday. Baba is, Baba will be and will always be with each and everyone of us. Om Sai Ram. Peace and love to you all.
