Most affectionate Homage to Sri. Srinivasa Raghavan.
STORY BEHIND THIS PHOTO – 16
Sri Sai Padha Pooja
In this Photograph, you are finding our Bhagavan Baba as a teenage boy, allowing a devotee to perform Pooja at his Lotus Feet. From the days of swami’s boyhood in the Old Mandiram, and subsequently in the Prashanthi Mandiram, Swami used to allow devotees to perform Pooja at His Lotus Feet. Fortunate are those devotees, who recognized Baba as God in the early years, and obtained Divine sanction to perform Pooja at Sai Padham.
Sri Srinivasa Raghavan, an old devotee, is explaining the situation when He performed Padha Pooja, He says that Swami was still in His teens, and how Swami showered His blessings on him, and showered so much of Bliss out of the Pooja.
On the same day, when Sri Srinivasa Raghavan was to perform Pooja, another rich devotee was also scheduled to perform Pooja. The rich man had cornered all the Pooja materials including Flowers, and nothing was left for Srinivasa Raghavan, for Pooja Purposes.
Swami consoles Sri Raghavan and encourages him to perform a simple Pooja, which drew more grace to the family. The Pooja performed by that rich man was a short time affair, but Swami spent more time in the simple Pooja performed by Sri Raghavan, giving the family immense joy..
Even in that tender age, Bhagavan explained that Swami looks only at the devotion of the devotee, rather than the pomp and show from the people with much resources.

Sai Ram Sir,

This is a very good thing you have captured. In the pada pooja that Sri KSSR did, Swami actually taught him how to do the pada pooja. Not only did he take him step by step, Swami Himself recited the Sai Ashtotram - Om Sri Sai Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Babaaya Namah ....

Later, in one of the interviews. Swami asked Sri KSSR what he wanted. Sri KSSR replied, "Only your anugraham Swami". Then Swami turned to another person in the room and said, "See, He is my devotee"

Please share this information with the group. Thank you.


Loving regards
sk
