Story behind this photo: 127 : I wanted him to sing.
The mammoth work of providing the Golden touch in the Sai Kulwant hall had been finished, and I was enjoying a well deserved break in our Home in Chennai. Within a month the call came, for continuing with the same work inside Prashanthi Mandiram. The Altar area had almost been finished and we were preparing to move into the interior of the Mandir. Down on the floor near the Altar, there is a large Idol of Shirdi Sai baba which was covering a portion of the art works just behind it.
.I was trying to bend down behind the Idol to see if the Gold had been fixed properly. Almost immediately I felt that something was softly brushing my right cheek. When I looked up, I saw Swami was standing by my side and was also looking down beyond the Idol. I did not notice that Swami had quietly entered the Manidr. It was just noon time.
Looking at my puzzled look, Swami smiled. Bhagavan lifted his hand and pointed upside along the ceilings near the Altar. Swami tried to utter something. I had difficulty to understand. His voice was not coming out and I knew he was suffering a severe throat infection. I tried to call out, "Swami........' Swami became serious and held out his fingers to his lips, and trying to tell me to keep quiet.
With great difficulty Swami conveyed what He wished to say: “Up above along the joint of the wall and ceiling, there are cornice moulds. They were finished in plain painting. (See top left hand corner in pink colour) Swami wanted to provide Gold covering on all the vertical edges of cornices. I repeated this message, and Swami confirmed.
Nervously I told, that Swami was unable to speak. Swami laughed off and with great difficulty commented, “Yes, I am not able to speak, but I wanted him to sing.” I asked, “Swami, who?” Swami just smiled and still smilingly moved away !!!!!!.
Later I came to know that Swami had not given interviews for more than three days. And nobody knew that Swami was suffering from a bad throat infection.
Love & regards, Mumbai Srinivasan.

Работы в Саи Кульвант Холле по нанесению позолоты были закончены и я наслаждался заслуженным перерывом в работе в нашем доме в Ченнае. В течение месяца мне позвонили, что нужно продолжать работу по позолоте внутри Прашанти Мандира. Пространство вокруг Алтаря было практически закончено и мы готовились к переходу для нанесения позолоты в интерьере самого Мандира. На полу возле Алтаря была установлена большая статуя Ширди Саи Бабы, и за ней находились множество произведений искусства.
Я нагнулся за статую, пытаясь разглядеть, хорошо ли была нанесена позолота, и почти сразу я почувствовал, как что то мягко коснулось моей щеки. Когда я поднял глаза я увидел Свами, который тоже стоял с моей сторону и нагибался, чтобы посмотреть за статую. Я даже не заметил, как тихо Он зашел в Мандир. Было ровно двенадцать часов пополудни.
В ответ на мой недоуменный взгляд, Свами улыбнулся. Бхагаван поднял руку вверх и указал на потолок прямо над Алтарем. Свами что-то сказал мне, но я не разобрал, мне было трудно понять Его, так как у Него в это время, видимо, была тяжелая инфекция дыхательных путей и голос пропал. Я начал говорить "Свами...", Но Он стал серьезным, приложил свой палец к губам и дал мне понять, чтобы я замолчал.
С большим трудом Свами объяснил мне, что на потолке на стыках карнизов остался обычный розовый цвет (Взгляни с угол с левой стороны и увидишь) и нужно завершить позолоту на всех вертикальных поверхностях карниза. Я повторил все сказанное Им вслух и Свами подтвердил, что я правильно все понял.
Переживая за Его здоровье, я сказал что Свами нельзя говорить. Свами засмеялся и с большим трудом прокомментировал это событие: "Да, Я не состоянии говорить, но Я хотел, чтобы он спел!" Я спросил: "Свами, кто?!!!" Свами только улыбнулся и отошел!!!
Позже я узнал, что Свами не давал интервью больше трех дней. И никто не знал что у Свами болело горло.
С Любовью и Поклонами Мумбай Шринивасан.
