Sri Nagesam and Sri Sathyanarayana were the sons of Sri Subbanna, who was a teacher in Bukkapatnam School where Sathya had studied. They were the classmates of Sathya. In the mid 40s, when Sathya publicly declared His identity as an Avatar, a good number of the fellow folk had no faith in Him. By God's grace, these two boys had complete faith in Sathya's words.
Both of them joined as Jawans in the Second World War. When their battalion was in the North-Eastern Himalayas, a petrol tank caught fire and it spread all over the encampment. Nagesam and Sathyanarayana thought of their old friend, Raju (Sathya). Baba heard their prayers and rushed to their rescue, to the NEFA border trans-corporeally in a trice. The advancing fire halted at the tents of the schoolmates as it commanded and got extinguished. (In His schooldays, Baba was addressed by teachers and classmates as Raju).
Baba who rarely mentions His astral travels, informed the devotees that He had to run to the Himalayan heights to save His school friends. Later in 1945 when the two friends returned after the war, they related the same to the devotees at Puttaparthi.
