A similar mystical means of communication reached Bernardo who was a Rosicrucian follower (an esoteric order with its roots in the western mystery tradition). Once, when meditating, a ‘Guru of dark complexion’ appeared in his meditation. He was puzzled but the Guru appeared again and motioned to follow Him. Who was He? Finally he recognized the master on the cover of the book “Sai Baba and the Psychiatrist”. Bernardo soon joined the newly founded Sai group in the city of Villa Alemana located in the province of Valparaiso.
He Draws His Instruments :
Sai’s divine masterplan had begun unfolding. Later in Santiago, it was now the turn for Julio Vejar to become Baba’s instrument. Julio was a young Buddhist studying Philosophy at the prestigious University of Chile. On a regular basis he received spiritual literature from Canada, but this time the parcel coming from abroad changed his life!
He received a parcel containing books on Sai and some Vibhuti and after reading these books his enthusiasm grew to a point where he was keen on knowing more about Sai, and so he asked his friend in Canada to send more information.
Another parcel came with more Sai books, and these only increased his “Sai” thirst. This “Sai”-thirst was contagious, his fiancé Soledad (now his wife) and friends too longed for more information about Sai. “I felt Baba´s presence everywhere, all the time”, says Soledad.
In 1983, Julio and Soledad, now husband and wife, traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina on their honeymoon. They visited several areas of the city and on one occasion, while on a local bus, Julio suddenly decided to get out. When they stepped down on the sidewalk, he saw a small poster about a Sai centre! As soon as they got back to the hotel, he called the number published on that notice and was told that the next day a meeting was going to be held there.
The following day they arrived at the Sai centre and met Mr. Leonardo Gutter, who has been helping to spread the message of Bhagavan in Latin America. He gave them the movie “The Aura of Divinity” and suggested they should form a Centre in Santiago. Neither Leonardo nor Julio then knew about the Sai centre in Villa Alemana in Chile.
The Spanish version of My Baba and I :
They returned to Santiago and a few months later on 21 August 1983 the Sai centre of Santiago officially opened its first meeting. This centre functioned in the house of Hanni Horowitz and a few devotees assisted at this event, who would further on play significant roles in furthering Swami’s teachings and message. Tomas Herrera was one of them, who later began the first internet site on Sai Baba in Chile (www.saibabachile.cl).
