Millions thronged him and solicited his solace and blessings for prosperity, power, progeny, peace and other such worldly possessions I was not one among them . It is not that I didn’t want them. My requirement was small and the God was kind enough to provide them through other means.Thousands have his photograph in their pooja room and photo of his legs, the sole projecting towards their beds and the first thing they do after getting up is to reverently touch those feet and lift the so-blessed palms to their eyes. I was not one among them. Several found in him their Ishtadevatha and named their houses, their business establishments, their children and grand children after him and the name ‘SAI’ became the most popular name in several house- holds. None in my family is named after him.
A few of my friends called a him man of magic or mesmerism, some deplored his air style as unnecessarily artificial and some decried the way he wore the saffron cloth. But none of them said that he looted the pubic,cheated them and amassed wealth for him and his family. He had no family of his own though his devotees claimed that they all belong to his family. I was not among them too .
But now I am with the devotees of Sri Satya Saibaba when they weep . The hands which showered blessings on them ,which wiped out tears from their eyes, which gave them an iron grip to hold and come up from the depth of their suffering is pitiably paralyzed. His legs on which the devotees fell again and again and washed with their tears , the legs which they held firm with the belief that those alone were the boats to help them to cross the deep ocean of birth and death, are lying motionless . His eyes from which millions aspired for a glance are closed and may not open again. His heart which absorbed the pangs of millions has become almost non-vibrant.
It is our culture to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions to the society made by any un-selfish soul. Let us do it to Baba when he is almost ready to reach his Originator. I have not touched his legs, on which millions have off-loaded their woes, so far .Let me try to reach them now, sitting miles and miles away from his death bed.
Accept that good soul at your lotus feet , Baghavan, and give it eternal peace for all the good he did for us.
Love and regards,

Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s abode Yajur Mandir in Prasanthi Nilayam has turned out to be a treasure trove. A 36-hour accounting process since the mandir was opened on Thursday yielded 98kg of gold, 307kg of silver and Rs 11.56 crore in cash.
While the gold was valued at Rs 20 crore, the silver stocks totalled Rs 1.6 crore, according to sources close to the team of 20 trust members, executive council members, Sai Seva Dal volunteers and bankers involved in the exercise at the seer’s residence in this small town in Anantapur district.
Huge idols of Lord Sri Krishna, Sri Rama and Hanuman made of gold were also found with the jewellery. Sources said that teller machines were used to count the cash, which was deposited every hour in a bank even as the counting exercise was going on.
