Ms. Herta Pfeifer also participated at this inauguration. She had first heard about Sai in 1979 from Mr. Basil Pitt, High Commissioner of Trinidad and Tobago in Canada , whom she met in the city of La Paz , Bolivia. He gave her the first book about Baba, “Man of Miracles” by Howard Murphet, which she translated immediately. She then started to translate Sai literature into Spanish and has produced more than 100 books, innumerable speeches, discourses, daily thoughts and much more. During her first interview, Sai told her about His Will that she should “translate for Latin people” as He put it. She has done so ever since.
Herta Pfeifer, Sergio, Soledad and Julio :
Corali Balsera, a devotee residing in USA brought books, music and gifts for the newly created centre. She also was the instrument in bringing the news of another Sai centre in Chile, only 110 kilometers away. The two centres visited each other and exchanged books and news, this was the ‘pre-internet era’. But divine love followed in different ways attracting more people every day.
It so happened that one gentleman by name Sergio, participated in a radio programme speaking about Sai Baba and the healing powers of Vibhuti. Next Thursday, after the ceremony ended, a gentleman told him that in a few days he was going to undergo surgery due to a severe case of stomach ulcers. The gentleman also said he had listened to the radio programme and decided to give the Vibhuti a try. Sergio told him that Vibhuti was miraculous, but that at the end everything depended on Baba and one’s faith. He instructed the gentleman, ‘You can drink it with water every morning’.
Next Thursday this same gentleman came, and Sergio saw that he was a changed man – all his worried frowns had gone and he looked relaxed and happy. He told Sergio that on the last medical examination before the scheduled surgery the doctors had seen that his ulcers were gone! The doctors could not believe it, but admitted that there was no reason to operate anymore! It was an incredible healing from God and they felt so fortunate and blessed.
Panamanian Present :
With more people coming in, the Sai Centre of Santiago moved from smaller to bigger locations and at one point of time, the devotees were renting a house in a street called Seminario. The owner of this building decided to sell the house, but the devotees were in no position to buy, even if they wanted to do.
By His mysterious will, this time it was a Panamanian devotee who came to their rescue. Full of love and gratefulness for God as his son in Panama was liberated after being kidnapped just then, this noble gentleman traveled to Chile, attended Sai bhajans and later donated the entire money required to buy the house. This is how the Sai Centre of Seminario was born.
