Being God's Driver | Padmanabhan And Sathya Sai | Part 1

Sri Sathya Sai Baba has been considered as the Sanathana Sarathi - the Eternal Charioteer - holding the reins and guiding the devotees' lives. Imagine the good fortune of someone being a 'charioteer' (Sarathi) for Him! That is the magnificence of the blessedness of P.V.Padmanabhan's life - he drove the Lord around in multiple cars for 18 years!
But his beginnings were humble. He began as a simple vehicle mechanic from Kerala. Each step in his life (yes, including the hardships) had been put to guide him towards his Divine Destiny. Along the way, he learned that service to man is service to God - that Swami is most pleased when His bhaktas (devotees) are served. This is part 1 of the story of how He became Swami's driver.
His story will surely inspire us because we will realize that every little thing that happens in our life is also guiding us towards our own divine destiny.

AUM SRI SAI RAM. Thank You Brother Aravind for this sweet story. I can relate to this story. Since becoming sincerely dedicated to weekly Narayan Seva in Perth for over a year, Bhagawan has got me so busy that I have little time to attend bhajans or do anything else other than seva. I have been serving our Street Friends until I was able to see GOD in All of them. Last year Bhagawan's birthday fell on a Wednesday and HE tested me. I had to choose between attending the big birthday celebrations or taking food for our Homeless friends. I also baked 62 eggless cupcakes with the help of a friend, and offered them to each Street Friend. It was the best birthday celebration and street party of Bhagawan that I ever attended. Service to man is service to GOD. Jai Sri Sai Ram 💖

Swamy used to travel by Air while going to Mumbai, Delhi or sometimes to Hyderbad. Swamy's benz car used to take Swamy upto the foot of the plane ladder. This made some eyes Red in the HAL airport at Bangalore. Objections were raised. One Mr.Anantha Sayanam Rao a senior officer in HAL airport and Swamy's Devotee Brought a written letter on this matter. It goes into two paragraphs. First para- With immediate effect Bhagavan Baba's car will not be allowed to bring Baba upto the foot of the aircraft on his journey from the HAL Airport to any destination. Second para- With immediate effect whenever Bhagavan Baba proposes to travel out of HAL airport to any destination One car will be placed at His disposal and will be made available at His Ashram atleast few hours before the flight departure time and this car will be allowed to take Bhagavan Baba upto the foot of the aircraft as a special case. The alotted car will also be provide with a siren from the time the car leaves the Ashram till it reaches the aircraft in or der to avoid getting stuck in traffic signals. The staff at the airport could not anything thereafter. Jai Sai Ram
