I had no inkling at all what & who this Baba is, until one night in 1981 he came into my dream ( I thought he was a rock star, because the scene was an open air stadium with lots of crowds wearing white). He smilingly told me I was carrying a boy, a son, true enough I delivered my son on 8.6.81.
I was fearful to have anything to do with him, thinking it might just be an occult. I was then introduced to Buddhism by my brother thereafter I became a Buddhist taken my 3 vows to take refuge only under Buddha & nobody else, sometime in 1988.
In 1992 I dreamt of Baba again who said at any time I need his help I shall call him & he will help.
In 1993 I had an operation for my nose, the specialist kind of sure I had nose cancer by the abnormal growth & the symptoms exhibited & weight loss (I have 2 brothers died of nose cancer).during the waiting period for the biopsy results (to confirm whether the cells are cancerous) I remembered Baba did say to call out so I called out silently & incessantly to Baba to extend my life span as my youngest child then was only 8 years old. Baba came to my dream again in the afternoon of the 10th day of calling & drenched me with a tub of water from head to toe, I woke up & went straight to get the biopsy report, the specialist found it to be a miracle as the report confirmed that the test showed negative.
In 1995 I visited Baba at India to convey my gratitude & I thought I would remain as a Buddhist as believing in Baba shall conflict with my 3 vows taken earlier.
In 1996 I visited Baba again with my children & Baba granted us an interview. At the interview room Baba materialised a pendant with an image of Buddha, showed the pendant to the 2 local Indians sitting in the same room there and Baba asked: "did you know who this is?", both Indians shook their heads & Baba turned towards my direction & winked at me in a cheeky manner & said: "This is Buddha, Lord Buddha". At that moment I cried profusely because only at that moment of time I knew of Baba’s omniscience as nobody would ever know although I am Chinese educated, each time I prayed to Buddha in English and I addressed Buddha as “Lord Buddha” .
The message Baba drove into my mind was: there was no conflict at all with Buddhism should I turned to Baba.
After knowing Baba I began to realise that God is called by different names because of our differences in geographical locations, cultures, languages & our likes / perceptions of God.
I later realised too that by becoming a devotee of Baba, I needn't convert nor change my religion , in fact I became a better Buddhist, because Baba is good at infusing a lot of love/compassion/energy unto me to enable me to carry out/practise Buddha's teachings in my daily life better.
From thence on my life turned so beautiful. I have tears of joy each time and each day Baba’s image came to my mind & whenever there is Bhajan I can feel Baba’s love for me & this warms my heart & make me cry to think that I am so fortunate to have Baba so near & dear.
We are going to India on 11.5.06, many weeks ago I already had the feeling of joy and excitement until tears of joy would just well up my eyes.
Trust me, Baba is just the living avatar that one should cling unto.....
