29. Suddenly I realized that this was Sathya Sai Baba's answer to my morning prayer
At the beginning of the 2000s, two solo exhibitions of my paintings were held near Frankfurt am Main. At one of the exhibitions, I had some organizational problems. While still in Moscow, I made an appointment by phone for a four-week exhibition. When I arrived in Germany, the organizers of the exhibition said the exhibition could only last two weeks. In addition, instead of the promised two halls, the organizers at the last moment decided to give me only one hall. Of course, when you travel from Moscow to Frankfurt am Main, and you are carrying a large number of paintings, you want to create a full exhibition of high quality.
I came to my room, where I lived then, internally tuned in to Sathya Sai Baba, and mentally asked him for help in solving the problems that arose. Turning to Sathya Sai Baba, I asked him to give me some kind of sign during the day, which would be repeated three times, so I could understand that he really heard my prayer.
I did this meditation in the morning, and during the day Sathya Sai Baba really gave a clear, positive answer. It happened in the following way.
That same morning, a German came to me, whom I knew quite well. Turning to me, he said, “a couple of years ago you sent me a photograph of some Indian saint from India. Today I felt like I should give you this photo back.” Having said these words, he handed me a photo of Sathya Sai Baba. I remembered that two years ago I actually sent this man from India a photograph of Sathya Sai Baba.
After a couple of hours, I went to a cafe where I met a girl who told me that she wanted to go to India. In response to this I gave her a lot of useful advice on how best to organize a trip. Suddenly she said, “I know that there is a famous saint in India, whose name is Sathya Sai Baba, I have his photograph, I want to give it to you,” and she handed me a photograph of Sathya Sai Baba. It was the second photograph given to me that day.
Around evening I met an elderly lady whom I had known for a long time. She asked about my exhibition, and suddenly said, “several years ago you sent me a photograph of a famous saint from India, I want to give it back to you with gratitude, because I don’t know what to do with it.” It was the third photograph of Sathya Sai Baba that was given to me that day.
I laid out these three photographs in front of me. Three different people in one day brought me approximately the same size photograph of Sathya Sai Baba. Unsurprisingly, I felt the invisible presence of Sathya Sai Baba, and this was his answer to my morning prayer.
The next day, all my conflict situations regarding the exhibition were resolved by themselves; the organizers, at my first request, immediately agreed with all my conditions and the exhibition was very successful with many paintings sold. Now I am describing this amazing story, and the three photographs that were presented to me are on the table right in front of me, reminiscent of the events that happened in Germany.
30. Sathya Sai Baba lends a helping hand before the problems start
In the late ‘90s, for a fairly short time, I worked as a manager in a company that was engaged in exclusive repairs of apartments and suburban mansions in Moscow. We had a large order in the very center of Moscow, relatively not far from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The customer purchased the second floor of an old mansion and decided to make an apartment there.
Gradually, conflicts arose with the customer. He did not follow contractual obligations and disrupted the phased payments. On top of that, in the process of renovating this apartment, a small fire broke out one night. To our general joy, the fire was quickly extinguished, so that almost nothing burned down. The fire was the last straw in the tense relationship with the customer, and so the conflict intensified.
A couple of days after the fire, I arrived at this apartment where a team of four workers were present. During the lunch break, the workers sat at the table drinking tea, and I decided to join them. We discussed the current situation and pondered how to proceed. At some point, we realized that in another part of the apartment, someone was walking around. Looking in that direction, we saw a strange transparent figure; it was Sathya Sai Baba. It was not just my personal meditative sensation, all five of us clearly saw it.
The transparent Sathya Sai Baba walked quickly from side to side, right in front of the astonished workers. He seemed to be looking for something as he carefully looked at the bags of cement and, carefully, examined the marble slabs stacked in the corner. Sathya Sai Baba was transparent, but he was so obvious that everyone present could see him with their physical eyes. Of course, this event made a tremendous impression and shocked everyone.
It was a little easier for me to understand everything that was happening, because at least I knew it was Sathya Sai Baba. I heard many times he could materialize at a great distance from his ashram and help in difficult situations, now I had seen it with my own eyes. I find it difficult to say how long Sathya Sai Baba walked
