'While Singing, I Imagined Sai Baba Walking'

Master H Sooryanarayanan shares his views on his journey to music and first impressions of visiting Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi.

In our ongoing series featuring Artists sharing their experiences with Swami, we present Ms Nandinii Rao speaking about Sri Sathya Sai Baba and her musical journey.

As part of the Sri Sathya Sai Aradhana Mahotsavam, Ms Nandinii Rao and her team presented a devotional music program at Sai Kulwant Hall in Prasanthi Nilayam. Following her concert, she graciously shared her reflections at the studios of the Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre.

An engineer with a passion for science and mechanics, when Sri V Ramalingam heard about Bhagawan materialising Vibhuti and other objects, he dismissed him right away as a magician. This was in late 60s. In the early 70s, a colleague gave him a book about Bhagawan. He felt the book was too good to be true, it seemed like a fantasy to him. However, when an opportunity knocked for him to visit Prasanthi Nilayam, he decided to take that chance to investigate himself directly and then come to his final conclusions. And as they say, "He came, he saw and he was conquered." Conquered by the aura of Sai, overwhelmed by His omniscience and transformed by the touch of His love.

This is the thrilling tale of Sri V Ramalingam who has been serving in the Sri Sathya Sai Information Technology Centre of Prasanthi Nilayam since 2003. Even though he is an octogenarian now, he continues to be active in His divine mission.

An engineer turned litigator Mr J Sai Deepak practices as an arguing counsel primarily before the Supreme Court of India and the High Court of Delhi. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in law from IIT Kharagpur’s Law School in 2009 and has carved a niche for himself as a litigator in civil, commercial and constitutional matters. He has been part of several landmark cases, such as those related to the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple, the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple, and is also the counsel for the royal family of Kashi in the case demanding a constitutional review of the Places of Worship Act, 1991.

In 2019, he was awarded the Young Alumni Achiever’s Award by his alma mater IIT Kharagpur. Apart from delivering scholarly lectures on constitutional issues, he writes prolifically for leading newspapers and magazines. He is author of the bestselling first book of the Bharat Trilogy, "India, That Is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution."

While he is a much sought-after speaker in the current times on issues related to Bharat's culture, constitution and civilisation, what most of us do not know is that he was born with the Divine blessing of Bhagawan and in fact shares his birthday with Swami Himself. In this conversation, he opens his heart to share what Swami means to him and how without Bhagawan's indelible Presence in his life he would not have been where he is today.

Bhagawan laid the foundation stone for the first hospital in Puttaparthi - the Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital way back in 1954. That was the beginning of the medicare mission which later had a new and expanded General Hospital and two Super Speciality Hospitals, one each in Puttaparthi and Bengaluru.

Even though thousands of poor and needy were served in these Temples of Healing, Bhagawan said that this was not enough. In 2006 He launched the Sri Sathya Sai Mobile Hospital which is literally a 'hospital on the wheels' so that now in stead of the downtrodden coming to the hospital, the hospital could go to the door steps of the poor. Dr K Narasimhan, the Director of the Sri Sathya Sai Mobile Hospital gives us a glimpse into the genesis and the growth and philosophy of this noble initiative of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust.
