Satsang SRI SAI BABA AS SANKARACHARYA (Sai Sudha March 1944)

EXPERIENCES (March 1944)
SRI SAI BABA AS SANKARACHARYA
To the Sceptic Hindus who still hesitate to acknowledge Sri Sai Baba as a
Divine Avatar, we narrate below the experience of Mr.V.Swaminathan Iyer of
Mayavaram.


Mr.V.Swaminanatha Iyer arranged a pooja to Sri Baba on 6-2-44 and for the
purpose he requested Maruthur Santhana Ganapatigal (Purohit) to come with
four other Vedic Brahmins. On his expressing inability he requested a local
Sastrigal to come with four brahmins for the Pooja. Though he consented the
brahmins did not turn for the pooja till 10 A.M. But the Sastrigal came only
at 10.30 A.M. and when questioned he said, " The previous day, doubting that
Baba is a Muslim, I decided not to attend the pooja, but on 6-2-44 at 5.30
A.M. Sri Kanchi Kama Koti Peethathipati Sankaracharya Swamigal appeared in
my dream and directed me " You go to Mayavaram Junction immediately and do
my pooja there, don't doubt." Having had this dream I went out immediately
and told all Vedic brahmins and came with 4 others for the pooja. This is
the reason for my late coming. Out of ignorance I committed a mistake in
doubting Baba's Divinity. Certainly Baba is an Avatar an there can't be any
objection."


The above declaration was openly made by the Ganapathigal in Mr.Swaminatha
Iyer's house before a large gathering. This fact will be enough to satisfy
the doubting Hindus. Baba has declared often that he is all pervading God.
The above experience will add one more proof to the hundreds of similar
incidents experienced by the devotees of Baba.
