.: EXPERIENCES AT SAI DHAM :. SHIRDI SAI BABA: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND Sanjay Gautam SHIRDI SAI BABA: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND - 25-12-2009 SHIRDI SAI BABA: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND I am Sanjay Gautam. I am an Electrical Engineer by profession. I have done post graduation in Power Apparatus and Systems, Electrical Engineering, from Indian Institute of Technology, Hauz Khas, New Delhi. At present I am employed as a Project Manager with Almarai Company, Saudi Arabia. This company is a dairy and food major in Middle East. My wife Kalpana is an astrologer by profession. Our daughter, Shruti, is married. She and Indranath (my son-in law) have a three year old son Iishaan. My son, Shashwat, works as a Boiler Commissioning Engineer with Thermax India Limited. In Sai Satcharitra it is described that Sai Baba is Eternal. He remains a apart of our life. True followers of Sai Baba shall always feel the spirit of Sai Baba. They shall be forever tread the path which Sai Baba had enlightened. In the initial stages of my life, I was a flippant observer to the Sai Baba’s preaching’s. I was always looking for scientific explanation in the phenomenon of life. If there was none I would reject it as blasphemy. I believed in God, but without the paraphernalia. First my wife became a vivid follower of Sai Baba first. It was through her I imbibed the Sai Baba’s principles. They were easy to follow in daily life. I was awe struck by the simplicity of Sai Baba. He fitted into my world perfectly. Later on the bond between Sai Baba and me fostered. This was as a sequel to the assistance I received from Sai Baba. I have felt Sai Baba’s guidance notwithstanding the geography and location. This is called close encounters of the third kind. It is akin a situation, where you feel the physical presence of Sai Baba. One of my first experiences goes back to December 5, 1998. While I was vacationing in India, the plant personnel, in the Dairy Processing Plant, Saudi Arabia, tried to close the high voltage circuit breaker of a very large Diesel Generator. A closed circuit-breaker permits electrical power flow to the consumer. The breaker closed and opened (tripped) so frequently that the plant personnel panicked. The term “close-tripping” of a circuit-breaker insinuates that the breaker is closing and opening (tripping) simultaneously, whenever a close command is given. Close Trip of a Circuit Breaker is “bête noir” (black beast) for personnel operating High Voltage Circuit Breakers. When I returned back from vacation, I was asked to explain the reason for this phenomenon. The impact of circuit-breaker close tripping phenomenon was so grave that the unnerved plant personnel forgot to log the correct sequence of events. This did not auger well for my investigation. I had to start from scratch. I examined all possible eventualities, but none were cogent enough to explain all that happened on the fateful day. I contacted experts from Europe but none could explain the reason for close- tripping of the circuit breaker. The investigation prolonged into months. On August 5, 1999, I had just finished my evening Sai Baba’ prayer. As I sat down to investigate the plausible explanation to the close-tripping event, my whole body became warm. I had a premonition that I was about to get the solution. Within few minutes of this I felt that Sai Baba is dictating the explanation for the breaker to close-trip. For next half an hour, I mentally repeated the solution. It was apparent that I could explain all the events which occurred on December 5, 1998. Next day when I discussed the explanation with the plant personnel. The solution fitted in to the sequence of events perfectly. During the next few days we were busy in correcting the wiring of the control circuits. Finally on August 26, 1999, we simulated the same conditions as the one which existed on December 5, 1998. The circuit breaker behaved perfectly normal. It closed and tripped to the command given by the operator; and not wantonly. The evening of 26 August, 1999 was a special one for me. It dawned on me that we the human mortals are controlled by the Grace of the Great Master Sai Baba. He remains with us whenever and wherever we need him. This event, though insipid, garnered my belief in Sai Baba.
