Pearls of Devotion
33. Om Shri Sai Chitraavatee-Tata-Puttaparthi-Vihaarine Namah
[Who sports (His Leelas) in Puttaparthi on the banks of the Chitraavatee. ]
Holy places are often associated with sacred rivers. The sacred place of Puttaparthi too had a river ‘Chitravati’ and a tree namely ‘Kalpa Vriksha’ on the banks of the said river.
Baba’s devotees have had joyous occasions on the banks of the river with Baba. Baba would thake His devotees there and teach them bhajans. When Baba was answering questions about Shirdi Baba, Baba said that He was the reincarnation of Shirdi Baba. Baba also delighted His devotees by pulling out a photo of Shirdi Baba from the sand. That photo showed to the devotees the true form of Shirdi Baba. These are among the many miracles Baba played in the banks of Chitravati and Kalpa Vriksha much to the delight of His devotees.
