My parents have been long-standing devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and I grew up visiting Puttaparthi a few times during the past two decades. I did this morning [April 24] what I have done every day for years—silently prayed to him. So even though Swami has left his physical form, for me he is still omnipresent in spirit and faith.?A few years ago, at a seminar on ethics in the financial world, Sai Baba asked a few of us including K.V. Kamath, chairman, ICICI, V.S. Das, Executive Director, RBI, and me to deliver a talk in the Kulwant Hall. This came as a total surprise to us. Another cherished memory is of the time I received vibhuti from him, which produced tears of joy. We grow up having deep faith in God and in our parents—my faith in Sai Baba is equally deep. To me he is an incarnation of God. One of the things I admired in him was that he was disinterested about your religious faith. His selfless service to society has been truly remarkable. Sai Ram.
