Dearest Mr. Premanand,
Many thanks
for your mail. Your comments are appreciated I may not agree with the
contents of the details.
The shivalingam
that materialized some seventeen years ago of black stone some 15 cm
in diameter has expanded or grown to100 cm or more, how does one explain
the scientific rationale of this phenomena.
Vibuti
in South Africa as well as other parts of the world has been materializing
for the past 7 to 8 decades where Satya Sai Baba’s photographs are
worshiped.
These
miraculous event’s my view is unless you witness one would never believe.
Miracle’s
of Bhagwan Satya Sai in South Africa are incredible.
I have
forward a mail to you and a copy of and article I wrote many years ago
on Rebecca Marsh.
Warm Regards
max

Dear Max,
Thank
you for this email. You will not BELIEVE.
I am 45yrs
old. A long time ago ..i had a dream ..in that dream I saw an old frail
looking man. I really do not know who was it. Then some years later
I went shopping with my wife, and I saw pics of this Man in a shop,
I asked the owner who is this man, in the poster, he told me..this is
Sridi Baba. I was shocked.I was really not into all this, but over the
years..I am trying to find out ...who is my guru, and so on, and I do
believe I found the answer, and I try to connect. But I told myself,
the “call” will come for me someday.
Today
just before I receive your mail, I was going thru all this sites of
Sridi Baba, learning about his life and also all other things, for nearly
1 hr.
Max, I
do not know you, and you do not know me, but somehow.just ask i close
this websites, 5 min later, I receive your email out of the blue. Why
>.and how this can happen, is this a co-incidence, or a “call”....
I am thinking
and pondering....

Aum Sai Ram Radiant Divinities

Flabbergasting
Spiritual phenomena have been occurring in Lenasia South Extension 4
4845 Tygerberg Street. at a Sai mandir, for the past seventeen years.
27-11-855-8958
South Africa
Four miracles are scribed
in paragraphs below from the hundreds over the past seventeen
years including healing.
Incredible
wonders Sai Mandir
Blessed
are those that are pure in heart.
Bhagwan
Satya Sai’s advent with majestic splendor some seventeen years ago
induced Divine Light and Love to this humble haven.
Every
life has an individual pattern. Some lives are full of incident and
some are quiet, while others seem graced by good fortune or confounded
by inauspicious circumstances. Why is this? And what, many ask, is it
that predetermines the flow of events and precipitates the cries that
occur in our path of life?
Numerous
individuals in South Africa and devotees globally, are marvelously fortunate
to receive the Avatar’s leela.The operation of cosmic influence within
the psyche and how we are turned as individuals and so move in resonance
to planetary interplay, through a particular pattern called anatomy
of fate. Destiny is designed as a prelude to life of the spirit. This
in turn is partial of a weave of other lives and incarnations that form
the fabric of an unfolding creation.
This Sai
Mandir’s karmic drama develops most spectacularly and exquisitely
for the past seventeen years. Time has unveil, the present President
of the center and devotees discharged their duties responsibly at the
spiritual field, and amplification of the Avatar’s cosmic energy from
the nuclei Prashanti Nilayam. This is made possible by Bhagwan’s Sai’s
celestial grace for mankind to participate in distant lands in the drama
of creation and retrace their roots to their patented identity. (ascendant
light)
Scarcely
human’s are remunerated with such an auspicious dividend from the
sacred bank of the Avatar. The significance of this dividend, the recipients
become spiritual billionaire’s instantly.
It emancipates
them from trivial material pursuits and the mundane activities of the
world so that the extraordinary explodes in their life.
The Divine
presents formidable circumstances to people that are recipient’s of
His leela as evil ultimately comes from God, and is therefore concerned
with the development of the individuals. Many individuals that I know
confronted such challenging circumstances elegantly.
These
persons are rare individuals, extreme adversity is a testimony the brave
shall prevail.
The greater
the trial more notable the reward.
I want
to remind myself and Devotees, the home (Sai Mandir) in which these
miraculous events occur we should not focus on the individuals instead
the grand works of the Avataric Purusha. The recipients of the leelas
are “flawless devotees, so are we” !!!!..
Bhagwan
Sai has said on many occasions in this Avataric Life He is seeking for
one devotee like Hanuman was to Shree Ram. Well, that’s sound like
a cool idea to me Bhagwan. My answer to my loving Baba with humility
certainly, you asking your devotees to perform miracles, you know Swami
if you vision that you may find Hanuman in Actonville, Chatsworth or
in the hustle bustle polluted street’s of light’s, camels and donkeys
in Bombay I have my suspicion. Then again I remind myself in essence
I write with my towering little ego, my narrow sinful heart, trying
to figure out the delicious cosmic joke.
I have
to acknowledge a soul like Kasturi, Sai Geeta (my friends Peggy Mason,
Ron Laing of England) and many others, were role models for me they
have served Baba without any favor. Jai
Sai Ram to those devotees.
(to me these were
great individuals they were your Hanuman’s )
Miracles
Some years
ago Thursday service some 110 people that evening, A devotee’s opens
a prasad box of sweet meats to offer Baba, a mouse jumps out of the
box giving the individual a fright, the devotee falls back from the
scare the mouse lands in a devotee’s palm and was transformed in to
Hanuman murti.( is this awesome or what).
I have
observed with much interest the history of this Sai Mandir, for some
seventeen years. Baba materialized a Lingum maybe 15 centimeters in
diameter at the time I have seen this Lingum grow to 100 centimeters
maybe more.
The lingam
continues to ooze out water miraculously which has the fragrance of
a coconut as if this water is teleported from the snow clad Himalayas
the abode of Shiva.
The Shivalingam
play a fundamental role in the structure and working of the universe
and personifies the current Avataric form Shiva Shakti.
The recent
rare treat for the devotees Baba presiding over Thursday service sitting
on his seat, we renew our “marital” vows with beloved Cosmic Guru
Bhagwan Sainath.The devotees were in tears as Baba assisted by two individuals
lend a hand seating HIM (this was a clairvoyant encounter)
I
have circulated the following paragraphs during the 2007 Shivratri Celebration’s.
I was present when this occurred.
The usual
fanfare globally for Shivaratri celebrations is not uncommon.
The midnight
abhishekam commences with the customary ritual, bathing the Lingum.The
devotee pouring the milk on Lingum unexpectedly begins to feel the two-liter
bottle becoming very heavy. A devotee notices a blue light flashing
from the bottle. A devotee rushes to do the bathing of the lingum.
The milk
suddenly begins to pour out as a gel then commenced to swirl in the
devotee’s palm and solidify in to lingum, a whitish crystal blue colour.
The Avatars unceasing love towards His mentally retarded devotees.Baba
never fails us for our meager devotion. This experience was electrifying
one has to witness the expansion of the Avatars majesty.
It is
a cool idea to brag being a Sai devotee, it’s super cool to practice
Sai Baba’s teachings.
Bhagwan
Satya Sai’s Materialization of Lingums – Deities
The full
potential of the mind body and soul is realized in this spiritually
elevated stage. Inner peace and harmony is attained and ultimately the
sublime truth of unity in diversity is experienced that all life is
one seamless fabric.
This exercise
fulfills Bhagwan Satya Sai’s Leela Love and Light, universal teaching
Man is God. (GOD
— governing order of divinity) Satya
Sai Baba is rekindling the ancient light of Sanathan Dharma and leads
mankind on the highway to Godhead.
Avatars and Siddha Purushas
that attained spiritual excellence perform materialization of Hindu
deities from the body.Avaduths and few Nath masters accomplish these rare siddhis.
Parkaya Pravesh the siddhi when one has the capacity to enter
another soul, Surya
Vigyan when a substance can
be transformed into another through the medium of sun rays. Isitva
possessing absolute Lordship.
The Avatar
is not subjected to this procedure of materialization in His Vishnu
Swarup He is the divine magician and master of illusions.Satya Sai transcends
all laws of nature and conducts His affairs in the cosmos at free will.
Bhagwan
Satya Sai was born with a gramma shakti. (the spelling maybe incorrect
gramma)
This phenomenon
is rare, prevailing sciences at our disposal Einstein and Darwin theories,
incapable of illuminating this rationale.
The hallmark
of Bhagwan Satya Sai’s leela is His vibuti so he could also be referred
as the Vibuti Avatara.
I wish
you Luv Peace Cheerfulness for the remainder of your earthly vacation
-:) don’t 4 get 2 renew your visa if U contemplating hanging around
!!!!!
If you
journey to God before me please convey my luv and a little of my “anger
“ to Him -:)”if you discover God is a female please kiss
Her on the bottom lip for me” if She has too much lipstick don’t
bother. (-:
If you
travel to Prashanti before me tell Baba I luv HIM soo much :-)
luv max
I
often ask myself would mankind ever understand who Bhagwan Sai is and
was five thousand years from 2020.
When consciousness
reaches a state in which it becomes uniform (non dual) it is samadi.
(Amritanadopinashad )
Jai Sai Ram

The
Story of Jewish Sai Devotee Rebecca Marsh 1985 Jhb.S.Africa.
Spring
of 1985 the street’s of downtown Johannesburg South Africa were quiet
clean and racist.
Bree Street
— John Craig,Riggs and Dexsters were cool stores to shop American
gear.
Eloff
Street — the home of Look and Listen for heavy metal music and O.K.
Bazaar for marie biscuits and pilchards.
Minority
citizens of this beautiful country were privileged of their basic human
right. Few white folks determined the future of the black populace by
the ballot.
Apartheid
South Africa and its liquidation, enlighten mankind that we make meaningful
progress embedding civilized values in ourselves, embracing fellow human
as our equal. That denotes a milestone in our moral conduct for the
past 400 years in Africa.
The early
eighties, Hillbrow was haven to Aquarian Age most ostentatious bookstore
for esoteric literature, my favorite setting to frequent in Vand der
Merwe Street. Novels were reasonably priced then from thirty rands.
The Aquarian
bookstore some of you may remember had a captivating photograph of Christ.
Though I grew up a Gujarati speaking Hindu I was attracted to the photographs
of Christ extraordinarily from my childhood days. My fairest memory
of Christ the day I attended service at a church in Goa India. As service
concluded, I walked towards the pastor for blessings simultaneously
bow to the sculpture of Christ. I went on my knees to thank the Lord,
for the blissful service, my experience that moment our Lord had come
alive. I fancy I heard the Lord declare max you are great man :-):-)
I applauded
the Lord for making an errorless appraisal of me.!!
For some
curious reason whenever I entered the book store my attention magnetically
allured me to books on Judaism’s reflection on Kabbala. My heart informs
me this maybe so because of my love for the great Saint Rebbe Schneerson
of Brooklyn New York
I was
blessed to have darshan of the Lubovitch foundation’s Saint Rebbe
Schneerson in 1986 Brooklyn.
The Aquarian
Book Store had a variety of Books on Bhagwan Sai that I paged through
even though most of them were in my collection; I refuse to leave the
bookstore without perusing the books of Baba.
One afternoon
at about 3.45 p.m. My appointment in Harrison Street was canceled so
I decided to pop into Aquarian. As I walked in greeted Michelle who
was employed at the store, I walked towards the shelf where Baba’s
books were displayed. Suddenly Michelle shout’s max have you heard
of Rebecca Marsh. I turn around and asked her who she was. Michelle
replied she is a Sai devotee, Vibuti materializes at her home She is
a gifted clairvoyant does awesome psychic paintings on Christ and other
Hindu deities. Captivated by what she said I walked to the counter where
she normally sits, so I inquired where does she live, Michelle replied
somewhere in the city of Johannesburg. Michelle promise to get her details
for me 18 months passed by, though I reminded her every time I went
to Aquarian, phoned her regularly to trace the information for me. No
luck.
The curiosity was
profound to meet Rebecca, matters of spirituality had no boundaries for me I would
search anywhere in the cosmos Roaming the apartheid streets of Johannesburg
for twenty-three months, knowing that whenever I journey seeking for
that which is sacred, it constantly reveals itself to me.
Wednesday
morning September 1985 I had an appointment with the late Mrs. Breslowsky
from Berea the former owners of Bress design furniture.
Phoned
Mrs.Breslowsky the Wednesday morning to cancel the appointment due to
an unexpected engagement. Reschedule for Thursday morning, Baba’s
day.
Thursday
10 a.m. I walked in to Mrs.Breslowky’s flat. The illumined and captivating
face of an elderly white gentleman immediately charms my attention.
The gentleman with his long white beard reminds me of Indian holy man,
that has chosen to immerse in the company of divinity..
My meeting
commences in about five minutes from the moment of my arrival at Mrs.
Breslowsky home; throughout the meeting I am spellbound by the saintly
appearance of the elderly white gentleman.
My meeting
concludes 45 minutes later. Mrs. Breslowsky introduce the Gentleman to
me who happens to be her caretaker, she demands in her gruff voice,
drive the caretaker to claim street Hillbrow. I reluctantly say yes,
and somewhat annoyed as I was on route to Pretoria that morning.
I step
out of the flat the rear balcony approaching the lift, the elderly man
walks behind me He asks somewhat loudly what’s your name. I turnaround
look into His protruding eyes and crowded eyebrows, voice in a whisper
max. We enter the lift he stands behind me and once more asks me loudly
what’s your name I whisper in annoyance max.
The 1905
lift finally reaches the ground floor. We exit, stroll towards my mazda
I open the door for Him. He asks me once more what’s your real name
I don‘t reply; suddenly He says I am a satsangi and associated with
the Sant Mat philosophy for 35 years. Immediately has my attention then
utters He would like me to meet a lady call Rebecca Marsh.
I immediately
stop my car in Able Rd Berea on route to Hillbrow in disbelief what
I heard. Did you say Rebecca Marsh the Sai Devotee. Do you know her,
do you know her I whisper I have been looking for her for two years.
The holy
man says you must meet her she is very evolved spiritually, indeed she
was rare breed. I request Him, do you know where she lives, he replied
spontaneously I would show you. So for the moment I forget about Pretoria
drive to Bree Street corner Rissik the saintly man shows me the building
where Rebecca resided. My heart is filled with joy staring at the building
searching for two years. Incidently known for years. We had a brief conversation
in my car, I drive hurriedly to his destination chatting to him we part
company at Hillbrow where he lived.
Over the
months we had a few telephonic conversations never met again.
I rush
of to the building where Rebecca lived; perhaps I should say where the
Avataric Purusha rented omni presently, downtown the city of gold. Entering
the foyer of the building I look for the caretaker’s information on
the display board for tenant’s details.
The ninth floor where
the caretaker lived, I knock on the front entrance a middle-aged white
gentleman opens the door. I asked him politely where does Rebecca live
He escorts me to her flat and says she has just returned from India
she is very very tired.
So I stand
in front of Rebecca’s doorway hesitant to knock, instead I write her
telephone number on paper and leave the premises. The evening I called
her, the telephone is answered with the expression of Sai Ram Sai Ram.
Those words reverberate in the very inner core of my being to this day
and would for the remainder of my earthly vacation.
I reciprocate
with the greeting explaining to Her that I have been searching for her
for two years. I approach her would like to get together with her, she
refuses politely in her tired voice, that was encompassed by pristine
energies of the universe. The presence of Prema Swarup, Bhagwan Sai. My
psychic mind instructs me to be persuasive in my telephonic conversation
with her. She eventually agrees and grants me an audience the following
day.
I was
overwhelmed by the peace when I stepped in Rebecca’s prema loka. The
famous psychic painting of Christ in her home was a work art on par
with Vincent van Gogh.
My meeting
with Rebecca in Bree Street this is what she had to say. Sequence of
events.
I
began by asking her how she came to know about Baba.
Rebecca
Marsh was born Jewish, deeply religious practiced Christianity her undying
love for Christ, qualified a nursing sister worked in a government hospital
never married.
Rebecca
was on her deathbed succumbing to cancer. She prayed with devotion to
Our Lord Christ during her most turbulent moments. The Lord answered
her prayers. One morning she found a pamphlet inserted underneath her
door. The pamphlet was a photocopy black and white print. The pamphlet
read Aquarian Book Store, books for sale Man of Miracle’s. A photograph
of Baba on the leaflet that was unassuming according to Rebecca His
appearance was that of Black or Indian man that was awful to stare.
So Rebecca dumps the advert in the magazine rack.
Day two
she finds the same pamphlet underneath her door. She dumps it in to
the magazine rack.
Day three
the same encounter now she visits the caretaker in protest for junk
mail. The caretaker stares at the pamphlet and promptly replies that
He did not receive the pamphlet, will check with the tenants. No other
tenant received this advert.
Rebecca
decided the next day to call the Aquarian Book store concerning the
advert they had no knowledge of the flyer. However, Rebecca decided
she would like to purchase the book Man of Miracles as advertised on
the flyer. The lady checked for her found one copy in stock.
She told
Michelle the employee of Aquarian Book Store to keep the book for her
until the following day. Rebecca was terminally ill with cancer at the
time and in acute pain, she made and effort to get to Aquarian that
morning. She got out of her building was pleasantly surprise a bus waiting
for her on route to Hillbrow.She gets off in Hillbrow walks 10 meters
to the shop purchases the book Man Of Miracles, walks out another Bus
waiting for her she gets on return to her flat.
She was exhausted of this ordeal took
a nap preceding the evening. At about 7.30 p.m. She decided to read
the book. When you began reading Man of Miracle’s there is no pause,
for a moment she wondered could it be possible a man on this planet performs
such miracles. She decides to have a closer view at the Man with the
afro on the cover. Baba begins to wave his hand. Rebbeca is awestruck
by this experience. Can this be possible? She continues to read fifteen
minutes later glances at the picture again Baba continues to wave his
hand this is mind boggling. 1130 p.m. She is tired lying on her back
reading, so she looks at the picture again and tells Baba I need to
turn on my side and sleep, because I am very tired. As she turns around
she notice Baba standing at the end of bed waving and smiling at her. Rebbeca
tells Baba I don’t know who you are but don’t go away you must look
after me. She falls of to sleep and gets up at 6.15 a.m. The morning
Baba was standing at the bed side for ten minutes thereafter.
In the
morning and Indian friend, a nurse by profession normally visits to
bathe and change her clothes. Rebecca reveals the story to her. The
lady immediately recognizes the book introduce Rebecca to Sai devotees.
She begins to have clarity who Baba is from her new found Indian friends.
Her daily
routine when cleaning her flat she found money in the most unusual places
the teapot in the morning. She accumulates this money and towards the
end of the year, saved enough cash to travel to Prashanti. She shared
some very personal encounters with me and her life, I am unable to disclose
this information my promise to her.
As I got
up to leave and wish her good bye I prayed she gave me something. She
voices sit-down I have to give you something she gifted me with a locket
of Baba. Weeks later she gave me the miraculous Christ photograph with
the white light protruding from the Lords mouth.
Thursday
service was special for me at Rebecca’s; Baba’s darshan was intense.
One morning
she had the vision of Lord Ganesha walking in her house. The sound of
the melodious flute was heard in her apartment, presence of Shri Krishna.
She began healing from her cancerous condition slowly when on two live
seven years after I met her. She passed on in her eighties at the hospice
in Houghton. My last visit to Hospice as I stood at her bed side I thought
she had died, then all of a sudden she moved her finger pointed at the
water, I recollect placing three drops in her mouth she closed her eyes.
I prayed to Baba for her well-being and bid her farewell, that was my
last darshan of Rebecca.
Rebecca
contemplated publishing a book on her miraculous memoirs of Bhagwan,
she asked Baba in an interview, Swami declined the lucrative opportunity
instead told Miss R. Marsh to discard the literature.
Baba knows
why, He often says in His discourses I can see what you can’t. As
devotees we are often motivated by our tiny ego, frequently harmful
to ourselves and render a non complementary purpose in the Avatars cosmic
agenda.
I attended
service for two years at her home met Andy and Jay of Lenz South
and a few white devotees. :-) :-) I often wonder where you are.
May Baba be your guiding light?
