A Beeline to Thammiraju




During Sathya's school days at Uravakonda, one of the school teachers, Sri Thammiraju, was strongly drawn to Sathya.  He freely put forth his doubts in the philosophies of knowledge and devotion for clarification to Sathya.   Quoting extensively from Upanishads and Puranas, Sathya dispelled the teacher's doubts.  Meanwhile, Sathya went to Pattaparthi leaving Thammiraju, pining for a photo of Sathya, in His absence, to keep him company.  At that moment, into the room buzzed a big bumble bee through the window and dropped something.  Thammiraju was thrilled to find it to be the photograph of Shirdi Sai  Baba.

The matter did not end there.  On another day, a monkey threw a packet through the same window and disappeared.  There was a letter and a laddu in that packet.  Sathya wrote in His letter that He had sent His picture with the bee earlier and now He sent a laddu Prasadam for him.  The teacher was overwhelmed with the realization of Sathya's love and omnipresence.
