An Old Woman's Gift

Sri Vijayakrishnan, MFM 1993-95 Batch Student of the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, narrated an incident that happened in his presence.

Once he was with the State President of Tamil Nadu Organisation at Sundaram in Chennai.  An old woman walked in with great difficulty with the help of a walking stick.  She had a small old bag and asked some devotee passing by as to where she could donate some money.  She was guided to the office room where Vijay was sitting.  She came inside the room and opened the small old bag and spread out the money on the table.  She told them to give that money to Sai Baba because He was giving water to them.  She said that they all suffered for many years without water.  She had sold all her belongings and that was all the money she could get!  She wanted that money to be given to Sai Baba to be used for the water project.  She had read some newspaper reports about this project.  She further added that because this project was for the benefit of all, she decided to dedicate everything to it.

This was a wonderful miracle of Bhagavan's love that inspires everyone to practise His Message of "Love All, Serve All."
