Prema Sai Baba. The Mystery of God. Part One - Святослав Игоревич Дубянский

We have some more testimonies from several close Sai devotees. Peggy Mason and Ron Lang, in their book Sri Sathya Sai, Embodiment of Love, recount their conversation with Sathya Sai Baba about Prema Sai Baba. The authors asked Sathya Sai Baba about whether his next birth will be as Prema Sai in the body of a woman? Sathya Sai Baba explained that he would be born in the body of a man and that this would happen in the state of Karnataka in southern India.

This question arose from the authors of the book because, according to legend, Prema Sai Baba would be the incarnation of the goddess, Shakti. In that conversation, Sathya Sai Baba explained that despite the fact that Prema Sai Baba will be the incarnation of the goddess, physically he will still be a man. Once again, this fact shows the esoteric concepts of masculine and feminine in the universe are associated with spiritual qualities and not biology.

Sathya Sai Baba has repeatedly said the appearance of Prema Sai Baba is in the process of formation, which means that during the life of Sathya Sai Baba, the appearance of Prema Sai Baba was still in the process of divine creation.

At the end of the 20^th century, many paintings appeared showing the handsome face of Prema Sai Baba. These paintings appeared during the lifetime of Sathya Sai Baba, and many people spread rumors that some of these images were materialized by Sathya Sai Baba himself, but that is just speculation.

Rather, all these beautiful paintings are the fantasies of talented artists and have no credibility for us as researchers. The history of Hislop's changing ring shows that Prema Sai Baba's appearance developed gradually. Sathya Sai Baba, in the middle of the 20^th century, was not sure what his incarnation would look like in the 21^st century. Sounds strange, but it's a fact.

It seems that the features of Prema Sai Baba's mission also developed gradually. That is why Sathya Sai Baba gave various details about the place and time of his next birth.

Let's look at a unique book called Sri Sathya Sai Anandadai (Journey with Sai). The author of this book was a wonderful woman and devotee of Sathya Sai Baba, whose name was Kannamma. She described the information that she and her mother heard personally from Sathya Sai Baba back in 1944, when he was only eighteen years old.

The author's mother was named Namagiri Amma. She was one of the earliest devotees of Sathya Sai Baba. In 1954, Sathya Sai Baba personally told Namagiri Amma that she should start carefully recording all the stories, miracles and spiritual instructions she had witnessed firsthand.

Sathya Sai Baba predicted that this diary would be of great importance in a few decades, and many devotees would be informed and inspired by reading these immortal lines after they were published.

Namagiri Amma never kept a diary, but her daughter Kannamma did. She later wrote a famous book based on the unique entries. In 1956, Kannamma began to carefully record all the stories and testimonies, including hers and her mother's. These became the start of the great diary that would later play an important role in the history of Prema Sai Baba.

This blessed family came from the city of Mysore, the ancient capital of the state of Karnataka. Sathya Sai Baba often visited there and talked a lot with the first devotees, telling them secret knowledge, including about his future birth as Prema Sai Baba.

Back in the mid-1950s, Sathya Sai Baba said this diary should be published in the future. These recordings lay in the Kannamma family for several decades and were not published until the 1990s, first in Kannada and then in English.

Several publishers published the manuscript. As a result of the translation of this great book from the original Kannada into English, some strange metamorphoses have taken place.

Unfortunately, when translating into English, the most important elements of the manuscript were subjected to ruthless editing, especially the ninth chapter. In those distant years, in 1944, when Sathya Sai Baba was only eighteen years old, he described in detail where and when Prema Sai Baba would incarnate.

The ninth chapter of the book contains the authentic words of Sathya Sai Baba that Prema Sai Baba would be born one year after the completion of Sathya Sai's mission. The book also indicates the exact place of birth as the village of Doddamallur, where the ancient temple of the god Vishnu (Aprameya Swami) is located.

Interestingly, Sathya Sai Baba even indicated he would incarnate in a poor family that would live by that time in a small house right behind the ancient temple. All these crucial details have been omitted in the English translation.

Fortunately, the first edition in the local Kannada language was made by an independent publisher, so it was in the first edition that the original text of Sathya Sai Baba's prediction was preserved. I was able to find this first unique edition and arrange for the translation of the ninth chapter from Kannada into English and then into Russian. The original message of Sathya Sai Baba with my comments is given in the next chapter of this book.

Why did some publishing structures go for falsification? It is obvious that such a decision was not made by chance, as if someone was trying to artificially confuse information and misinform a wide audience. In fact, many close associates of Sathya Sai Baba are well aware of all of his predictions. Regardless, some people artificially create confusion and hide the real information.

We now turn to the ninth chapter of Sri Sathya Sai Anandadai (Journey with Sai). Of course, it would be my great pleasure to give
