November 20, 2015 :A sculptor by name Mr. Chinna from Rampachodavaram of Andhra Pradesh came to Puttaparthi with this beauitiful statue of Swami. He is a Shirdi baba devotee and had never been to Puttaparthi nor seen Swami physically. While he was making a statue of Shirdi, Swami came in his dream and said, ” It is the same Sai that you are worshipping. Do My statue too”. The very next day he took up this stupendous task of making the statue and in 3 months the beautiful statue was ready.
His intention was to give the statue of Swami to the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust and leave it in the ashram’s hands to decide as what to do with the statue there after. By the time he reached Puttaparthi with the statue, it was 10.30 PM.
As it was too late to go any where, the only option that seemed possible for him was Prof. Anil Kumar’s house. He then went up to Prof. Anil Kumar and requested him if he can “keep” the statue for a night before he offers it to the ashram. The statue was too good and beautiful for Prof.Anil Kumar and Mrs.Vijaya Lakshmi Anil Kumar to think twice and there were so happy to provide the shelter. The next morning saw a sea of people thronging to see this statue in Prof.Anil Kumar’s home in Samadhi Road.
