Sai Baba with film crew
At this moment, I took stock of the situation. I noticed that all around the ashram it continued raining, but there was still no rain inside it. Tapping Philip on the shoulder, I said, “You may have noticed, Philip, that although it is thundering and raining around the ashram, nothing is happening within the ashram grounds. I’ll bet that Swami is controlling the rain.”
Aer a while, Swami took leave of his students and invited us into his home. As we stepped through the doorway, rain began to pour down onto the ashram grounds. We felt safe and comfortable in the interview room where Swami quickly materialized vibhuti for us. Seating himself in a chair, he gently motioned for us to gather around.
Turning to Christine, he mentioned something about her personal life and then materialized a beautiful ring with a small clock on the face. It fit perfectly and its unusual appearance caused me to wonder about its significance. Swami asked if she was happy with the ring, and she said she was. He asked if she would like something else, like a stone, and she said, “No, Swami, I am happy.”
