Here was spirituality, cast in a secular mould, that could be immediately transmitted to children. The Sathya Sai Organisation had not only a similar approach, it had also created the pedagogy. I had pleaded that this was a science,Ī body of knowledge that could be tested on the anvil of logic and reason, that there were laws of the spiritual realm which were as real and immutable as the laws of physics and chemistry, and that spirituality should Shortly before this I had published a book “The Science of Spirituality” in which my thesis was that there was a core to all religions which was more or less the same. This was an excellent opportunity to promote this innovative While in Shimla, as Education Secretary, in February, 1985, I had the opportunity of getting in touch with Bhagavan's programme of Education in Human Values (EHV).

Sai Baba: Man of Miracles - Book by Howard Murphet My boss had held that ring on his palm and soon his palm was full of Amrit. Pot after pot, vessel after vessel was filled up and yet the limitless oozing continued. Day and night, Amrit oozed from the ring. It seemed that there was a man at Srirangapatnam, who had a ring givenīy Bhagavan. And the story he narrated was just unbelievable. When he returned, he brought back a small vial full of Amrit. Then my boss went on a tour to Bangalore. Here was the beneficiary himself, to attest How could cancer disappear without any treatment? It seemed impossible.

He was travelling to Shimla and He was to pass Solan en route. I saw Bhagavan for the first time in 1973, when I was posted as Collector of Solan district in Himachal Pradesh. Even today he speaks of Bhagavan’s interference with the Karmic law only now and then, when a devotee's love Years passed and the state of childlessness continued. When Bhagavan called him for an interview and gave him Vibhuti, he thought he had He was childless and it was the desire for progeny which had taken him to Puttaparthi.
