Baba Here And There!

Sathya Saibaba Vision
Devotees' spiritual experiences reveal the omnipresence of Sathya Saibaba.

Though it is stated that Baba had left India only once, there are claims of devotees (foreigners) who have reported to have seen him.

Connie Shaw, an American author and lecturer has stated in her book, “Wake Up Laughing" of Baba appearing to her over fifty times at her home in Colorado.

It so happened once that Baba appeared to her in the middle of the night, tapping her shoulder gently and asking her to become the president of the local Sai centre. Since most of the members of the centre were Indians she found it inappropriate to take over the organisation as the president. Hence she refused it. She says that Baba appeared to her for the next two consecutive nights for the same cause and finally she had to give in. When she approached the president of the Sai centre and disclosed Baba's instructions, he confessed that He too had the vision of Baba asking him to resign from his post so that Connie could take over.

James Sinclairs' experience also affirms the omnipresence of Baba. Sinclairs was an American businessman who did not have any idea about Baba. His experience reports of a man in a ocher robe with an afro who appeared and disappeared in his home in the United States twice. Mr Sinclairs on inquiring of the spiritual personality in a spiritual book shop, he identified the mysterious personality to be Sathya Saibaba. Later when Mr Sinclairs visited Baba, the first thing that Baba told him was “I came to you twice!"

Devotees thus attribute Baba's visions as God visions to His omnipresence.
