"Dr Pavan on Swami"

[solo]

Dear Friends

Loving Sai Ram to all of you. Hope you found the talk on "Golden Age" useful. Dasara Celebrations in Prasanthi Nilayam was wonderful, well coordinated and varied. Grama Seva went on in conjunction with the festival. It was a joyous experience for me to join with the students one day on Grama Seva.

The delay in setting up my website was unavoidable. A wonderful devotee from Latin America had offered to setup this website for me. It certainly is Swami sent for a technically illiterate person like me. He is helped by his sister who is a graphics designer. We are certain that this website - DIAMONDS FROM SAI BABA - would be ready within the next few weeks, well before Swam's 86th birthday.

The website would solve all our problems and I am so thankful to you for your patience. A few did request me to remove their names from the mailing list for logistical reasons - large download files etc. I thank them for being frank.

You already know about Swami's appearances in the Primary school in Prasanthi Nilayam. I have additional information for you on this matter - told to me by the student's father and confirmed by the principal herself.

This particular boy suffers from asthma. Couple of nights ago he started wheezing after bedtime. The Ventolin puffer was in safe custody of a member of the staff along with other medicines. Even before this boy sought help, Swami Himself, physically, brought the puffer and asked him to take a couple of puffs and the wheezing cleared. Swami has shown His presence at the primary school a few times lately. These children are so blessed.

With Sai Love
In the loving service of Bhagavan

Dear Friends

Loving Sai Ram.

Herewith I am sending you my 20 October talk on MP3. Hope you were able to find time to listen even to a small fraction of my previous talks. I know these audio files are too big to receive by email every week and thank you for bearing with me. Prayerfully, I hope my website would be ready and functioning before Swami's birthday and you won't have to put up with these emails thereafter; instead, browse my website for my latest talks and other updates if you wish.

I am pleased to include this time another instance of Swami manifesting Himself. The beneficiary this time is a Bihari sevadal on 'out-post' night duty in the far corner behind the ashram next to the site where gas cylinders are stored. This happened a few weeks ago and the story has been verified by a construction engineer who is a resident of the ashram, as well as an old student who now works in the university. I have spoke with both of them myself.

One dead of night Swami came walking along the back road, talked to this Sevadal and blessed him by waving His hand and creating 'grainy' vibhuti and disappeared. By dawn he was surrounded by many excited sevadals and this man had shared his experience with them and showed the created vibhuti as well.

In my talks you will find experiences of some of my challenges which Swami had placed before me interesting. From the point of view of transformation, heat must be generated though intense friction (conflict) within the  mind ...

With prayers that Swami's living Presence is with us always,

Yours in Sai Service with love
