A word from the core of my
heart:
At
the outset, I humbly with the utmost devotion bow down at the lotus feet of my
Guru Shiridi Sainath and put before you the following facts.
I
have adopted Sri Shiridi Sai Satcharitra, authored by Sri.Hemadripanth as
subject of my parayana as a daily ritual from the year 1990 onwards till date.
Paralleled, I was also engaged in conducting Sai darbars, Satsanghs and serving
Sai devotees as per their needs and as guided by baba from time to time.
I
was during meditation seeking Baba’s advice for self and fellow Sai devotees on
their problems and hardships that individuals were facing in their day to day
life. This practice was going on till 6th April.2018 when Baba
cautioned me toslowdown activities.
I
prayed with my master and pleaded-“So far I was leading my life under your
guidance and instructions.I do not know my how long I will live. Be kind and
pass on spiritual messages from your treasury”.
This
in short is the reason behind my thought to bring out the diary titled-
‘Face
to Face with my Master’-started from 6th April.2018, the
auspicious Telugu New Year day.The diary attempts to pen down the words of
exchange between me and Shiridi Sai during Dhyana (in meditation during
Brahmimuhurtha hours). Later the diary is named as ‘Face to Face’.
I
have therefore decided to share the contents with my fellow Sai devotees and
requested my friend Sri.Athreyapurapu.Thyagaraju garu to bring it into a shape
and upload the contents on internet.
I
request the readership to go through the contents and seek baba’s blessings and
also to bless me.

Inspiration
for authoring the manuscript:
I
have toured USA in the year 2018 on invitation by organizers of Centenary
celebrations of Shiridi Sai baba attaining Mahasamadhi. Nine Satsanghs were
conducted by me in Minnesota, Texas, New York, and New Jersey as per the request
of participants and as per instructions of SAI from 23rd June. 2018
to 12thAug.2018.I happened to deliver a discourse on 27th
July.2018 in connection with Gurupurnima day in Illinois. Dr.Nori.Dhattatreyudu
garu chaired the session. The topic chosen for the day was “Hiddenmeanings from
Sai Satcharitra “. I was guest of honor for the dinner hosted by
Dr.Dhattatreyudu garu at his residence. After brief discussions, we retired to
bed .As usual in the early morning hours Baba appeared in my dream in the form of
a Buddhist monk and said-“You were guest of honor of my devotee and have
delivered the last discourse of your lifetime. I in the form of my devotee
honored you. Go back to your homeland and wait for the inevitable. I assure you
that I will be by your side at the needed hour”. Next day morning I shared
baba’s message with my trusted friend Dr. Dhattatryedugaru in a casual manner
said that he would visit me back home along with his better half and dine with
us and seek blessings in Sai darbar, Hyderabad. Thus I set out on my return
journey to India.
