Prema Sai Baba. The Mystery of God. Part One - Святослав Игоревич Дубянский Страница 12

When I asked the owner of the jewelry store and the manager of the hotel, they both said they didn't tell me anything and didn’t remember our conversation. They said they did not know anything about the birth of Prema Sai Baba. How could this be?

It then became clear to me this was a great miracle. God told me about his birth through three people, while they themselves did not consciously have this information. Truly, God can speak to a person through any intermediary, even if this intermediary does not even know what is happening.

My only problem was that I didn't know where the village of Doddamallur was located, although I was generally told the village was somewhere in the neighboring state of Karnataka. My Hindu friends from Puttaparthi said the village was not far from the city of Mandya. All members of my group witnessed these amazing events.

By the will of fate we did not go in search of Prema Sai in the year of 2015 because immediately after the seminar in Puttaparthi, we went to the Himalayas. Our first meeting took place a few months later, at the beginning of the next year, in 2016.

14. First meeting with the divine boy

At the very beginning of 2016, I again came with a group to the ashram of Sathya Sai Baba. As usual, I conducted a seminar on Kriya yoga meditation. One part of the program was held in Puttaparthi, and the second part in the city of Mysore, at the foot of the sacred mountain, Chamundi. Every day there was a rich program of meditation practices and lectures on the theory of yoga.

Half a year before the Indian seminar, some of the seminar participants had already experienced unique mystical encounters in dreams, according to which it was clear that Prema Sai Baba had already incarnated. In their mystical dreams, several of my students saw Sathya Sai Baba, who predicted they would soon meet Prema Sai Baba.

On this trip with me there were more than twenty people. Together, we decided to seek out the divine boy, although we knew it would not be an easy task. To meet Prema Sai Baba in person seemed unrealistic, and even the idea of the possibility of such a meeting felt outrageous.

Nevertheless, we took a private bus from Puttaparthi to Mysore city, where I planned to conduct the second part of the seminar. An Indian friend of mine from Puttaparthi, whose name is Sainath, drew on a piece of paper a rough map of the location of the village of Doddamallur, according to which we were supposed to find the home of the divine boy.

The village of Doddamallur is located between the cities of Bangalore and Mysore. I knew the boy Prema Sai Baba would most likely be found in this village. The map drawn by my friend from Puttaparthi indicated that Prema Sai Baba's place of residence was near the city of Mandya. We set off on the road, but in the process of searching, we soon realized the map was inaccurately drawn.

The village of Doddamallur was located in another part of the state of Karnataka, and the site of the proposed home of Prema Sai Baba was marked near the city of Mandya. To begin with, we arrived on our bus in the city of Mandya and stopped next to a large Christian church in the middle of the city. At some point, the thought flashed through my mind that if we could not find Prema Sai Baba, then we would do our meditation practice inside that beautiful church.

Our bus driver was trying to figure out exactly where Prema Sai Baba's supposed home was according to the map provided to us. Local residents and auto rickshaw drivers in the city of Mandya shrugged their shoulders, explaining that the layout of the area was completely wrong.

Realizing we were confused, we decided to ask the police about Prema Sai Baba, but the officers did not know anything about any divine boy in the city of Mandya and its environs. As a result of our inquiries, we found out exactly where the village of Doddamallur was located. The decision was made to immediately search there. This was our last lead.

Just then, the situation began to get more complicated. The bus was only paid for from Puttaparthi to Mysore, and we had already traveled many additional kilometers. As evening was fast approaching, the driver rightfully complained he did not want to wind another hundred or two hundred kilometers extra on the clock.

All the members of the group felt we should not stop the search and that we must continue into the night until we found the divine boy. We decided to negotiate an additional payment with the driver, and thankfully, he agreed to continue our search.

Subsequently, each of the group members, about twenty in total, admitted that while all of this was unfolding, they were practicing the Gayatri mantra silently in their own minds. This was another sign the group effort was producing a good result.

Finally, we arrived at Doddamallur. As soon as the bus entered the village, amrita (the nectar of immortality) began to materialize abundantly in the mouth and throat of my wife Svetlana. At that moment, no one but me and my wife knew about this miracle. The bus driver stopped right in front of the ancient temple of Aprameya Swami, declaring he would not drive any further.

We instantly learned from the villagers where Prema Sai Baba's house was. He was first found and identified as Prema Sai Baba by a group of yogis from the north Indian Himalayan state of Manipur. This happened on April
