During the year 1994, Dr Sri Gurumurthy Guruji Also Known As Sri Guruji was dwelling in the Puttenahalli area of JP Nagar Seventh Phase, where the temple of Shirdi Sai Baba is presently situated. Back then, this area was circumscribed by meadows and behind it, there used to be a Mango forest and mango fields. In those days, there used to be quite a couple of dispersed houses.
Moreover, the JP Nagar area, the seventh phase, the Puttenahalli Palya region was also a primitive town to reside in. If a person had to travel or move from one place to another, then he/she had to travel to JP Nagar 6th Phase or Sarakki to get transport.
During those times, Dr Sri Gurumurthy Guruji was a student of Eighth standard in the Patel Education Society in NS Palya, which is situated close to the BTM structure in Shirdi.
On one fine day, the school got over half the time as an enumeration was being directed. And Dr Sri Gurumurthy Guruji got back home by walking and left the school campus in the late morning. On arriving at his place, he took a quick afternoon nap as he was a bit tired due to walking all by himself while Guruji’s mom wasn’t at home and had gone for work.
Sai Baba told “Gracious kid, didn’t I tell you that at whatever point you will call me, I will appear? Great, Allah has cleared a path now”. When I looked upward to see his face, I saw an incredibly bright reflection in the man’s eyes.
Shirdi Sai Baba placed his hand on my shoulder and stated, “Gracious kid, for the goodness of the entire world, sow the seed of Gnana, sermonize Dharma, and to carry everybody towards the Satya Marg.”
A couple of days after this incident took place, I observed that the Tulasi Brindavan, placed in the front way of our house was brimming with dried Tulasi leaves. When I was expelling the soaked Tulasi Plant from the Brindavan, I was very astonished and shocked to observe a pair of feet glimmering in a somewhat blue reflection.
At that point, I was quite young and could not comprehend that these were Sai Baba’s Paada feet. I was surprised and was standing there in disbelief. I opened them one more time but the foot impressions could be viewed in the mud where the old man stood a couple of days before (Obviously, I have no idea that the old man was Shirdi Sai Baba).
Midst of my disbelief, the footprints started getting brighter. I will always remember this holy experience that had happened with me. Even today, I can still view the Sai Baba’s foot impressions when he had come over to give darshan to me.
Returning to the episode which happened on that day, I felt my psyche had gone blacked out.Nearly after 45 minutes, I heard the same sound saying “Allah Malik “. As I turned my head, I couldn’t believe the person standing right in front of me, the same old man who had come to my house before.
He also disclosed to me mystically that he had turned the foot impressions brighter. I felt an unexplainable bliss where my body became light in weight and experienced a thrilling feeling when the Baba placed his hand on my head.
Dr Sri Gurumurthy Guruji remembers, ‘On that same evening when I had fallen asleep, I heard someone’s voice saying “Allah Malik”. All of a sudden, that disillusioned voice woke me up abruptly, and saw an elderly person with a grown-up beard standing in front of my house. He looked very much like a Great Holy Power.
His head was covered with a white cloth while his off-white upper wear (kurta) was creased and wrinkled. Moreover, he was also holding a Bhiksha bowl altogether. His white beard and facial gestures drove me to presume that the person standing there was a beggar or homeless person. Suddenly, after recalling my mother’s instructions not to make the way for outsiders, I simply requested the man to leave the place.
Although, I was very upset and disturbed, on instructing the old man to go away. But the moment I uttered words out of my mouth, the old man lifted a hand towards the sky and said “Allah Malik. Gracious kid, I know what your identity is? But do you know about me? Are you not concerned about finishing up the half-completed task?”
His statement made me drove the fact that the old man could be a celestial prophet or astrologer (Kani Man) and requested the man to leave one more time. After listening to my request, the old man answered, “Alright, Allah will open the doors, Allah Malik” and began to leave the place.
The old man must have hardly waked down to four to five steps when he suddenly vanished from my vision. I got very distressed after seeing him disappear so suddenly. I internally contemplated, “he is an elderly homeless man and might be empty-stomach”.
I opened the main door of my house and stepped outside but could not find the old man anywhere. That left me wondering, how an old man like him could move so fast and disappeared from my vision within only 2 minutes. I got quite baffled up by this incident and started to search for the old man everywhere, but alas! could not find him anywhere.
Since then, each full moon evening, Sai Baba’s followers experience his divine darshan, seek answers for their issues, and achieve accomplishment in satisfying their aspirations and desires. Everybody can feel the heavenly, splendid, incredible reflection in Sai Baba’s eyes during Aarti. Shirdi Sai Baba gives us answers to all our issues through this “Divine Sight”.
