The Early days: 21 : The camera and the Film.
Nagamani Poornima was a regular visitor during Old Mandir days. She recalls an event. In her own words:
We were having nice time with Swami in the old Mandir. My husband wanted to leave for Bangalore and I had to start, before dawn. Seeing my plight, a photographer who was there, assured me that he would take a snap of Swami and send my camera with the film, to me through my servant, whom we left behind in Puttaparthi.
When the servant came to Bangalore, he brought the camera, but it was empty! He said the man who had clicked the photo, refused to hand over the film. He said he would send it after developing it, from Madras! I wrote him two letters but, he replied that he had sent the camera, with the film! In my despair, I asked Swami about it. Swami said, `The film is with the photographer, at Madras; and the picture has come out well; I shall get it for you!’
During Dasara in 1945, I was in Puttaparthi. As usual, I took out my camera, to take a picture of Baba. I was trying to load a new film roll a friend told me that it was already loaded! I was surprised at this; we took it out and found it was a used one! When it was developed at Bangalore, it was found to be the one which was with the photographer at Madras! I remember, swami saying, “I shall get it for you.” How it came from Madras into my camera is known only to Swami.”

Бала Саи Ранние дни Кинокамера и пленка.
Нагамани Пурнима была частым гостем во времена работы Старого Мандира. Вот воспоминания тех событий по ее собственным словам.
Мы проводили чудесные дни в обществе Свами в Старом Мандире. Но мой муж хотел вернуться в Бангалор и я собралась уезжать перед раасветом. Видя мое тяжелое положение, а я не хотела расставаться со Свами, фотограф. который находился там, пообещал мне что сделает снимки Свами и пришлет мне с нашим слугой, который еще должен был остаться в Путтапарти.
Когда наш слуга вернулся в Бангалор, он привез камеру, но она оказалась пустой! Слуга сказал, что человек, кто делал снимки, не прислал пленки. Он передал что пришлет их, когда прибудет в Мадрас. Я написала фотографу два письма, но он ответил, что передал и пленки и камеру. В отчаяние я обратилась к Свами и он ответил что пленки в Мадрасе, снимки получились очень хорошие и Я сделал это для вас!
Вл время Дасары в 1945 году я была в Путтапарти и как обычно я достала свою фотокамеру, чтобы фотографировать Свами. Я попыталась вставить новую кассету, но мой друг предупредил меня, что фотоаппарат уже загружен. Я была очень удивлена тем. что действительно обнаружила уже вставленную кассету. Я увидела, что она была уже использована, и это были пленки фотографа в Мадрасе! Я поняла теперь слова Свами, сказанные тогда: "Я сделал это для вас!" Как пленки могли переместиться из Мадраса в мой фотоаппарат знает только Свами
