*SWAMI SACHIDANANDA*, one of the close disciples of *SWAMI

SIVANANDA
SARASWATHI *of RISHIKESH had the extreme good fortune of having
stayed for
full six weeks in the Divine Presence and company of Bhagavan Sri
Sathya Sai
Baba at Kodaikanal. Both Swami Sachidananda & *Swami Sadananda*
were the
recipients of *BABA's infinite Grace* and Compassion and had enjoyed the
Supreme Bliss, that the close proximity of the physical form of Divinity

In his speech on this occasion Swami Satchidananda said, "From my

personal
experience I am convinced without doubt and also from my extreme good
fortune of recent close association with Baba I am fully satisfied that Baba
is Super-Consciousness itself, Omniscient, Omnipresent and Inner
Resident of
all beings.

It is absolutely essential to explain how I have come to this

unquestionable faith in my heart and mind." Then he went on to say, "Once
I
was sitting with Baba in His room at a bungalow at *Kodaikanal*. At that
time Baba was reclining on His bed. All of a sudden Baba stood up with a
jerk and shouted in Telugu *"DO NOT SHOOT"* and then fell; unconscious
on
His bed.

To describe correctly, it can be said that Baba had gone on an *'out of the
body' journey.* His body then became stiff. At that very moment of His
shouting 'do not shoot' Baba was continuously thumping at the door of a
military officer *at Bhopal!!!*
