During the time when Sri Kasturi took up permanent resident in Prasanthi Nilayam, Swami used to visit the homes of residents who were then only a few. Thus those residents could often share the blissful company of Bhagavan. During one such visit to Kasturi's home, Swami asked Smt. Kasturi to sing a song. She sang a Kannada song composed by herself:
"Ninnu Nambi Bande;
Enna Kai Bidadiru,
Ghana Mahimane Sai Natha!"
("My father Sai, I have come to You in the fullest faith that You will protect me. Please do not let go of my hand.")
After she finished, Swami replied to her with His own song composed in Tamil, which was her mother tongue:
"Virumbum Munne Tharu Vare,
Sai Baba! Vendum Munne Tharu Vare."
("Why fear? Even before you ask, Sai Baba showers boons. Even before you pray, He runs to you to give protection."
How sweet, how simple and how captivating is God's wonderful answer to His devotee's prayer! This answer is meant not merely to that lady, Smt. Kasturi. It is more certainly addressed to each and every single person in the wide world who is afflicted, distressed and suffering! More than that, it is addressed to everyone in the entire universe.
(From the book "Tapovanam" by J.V.Sastry)
