It was the year 1996. I was called in for an interview with Bhagavan. There were several groups inside the room. After speaking generally with every one, Swami invited the devotees group-wise into the inner room for personal interview. Our turn came up last. My son, Sri. S. Ramesh and myself were alone with Swami.
Suddenly, Swami asked me what was my problem in Madras. I did not give any reply but kept my head on His lap. I was about to break down. Swami patted me and told my son, "Your father had been visiting Prashanthi Nilayam for the last 30 years or more."
Swami also revealed that I had come to Him with a lot of mental tension and worries. He did not want me to be sad, having done a lot of Sai Seva. Swami further added that this sincere seva had drawn Divine compassion and that He had bestowed me this unique chance of sitting under His feet and seeking solace.
Within the next two months, Swami blessed us with another interview, when Swami conducted our 60th Birthday wedding.
