Baba Lilas - Puttaparthy Thunderstorm
One day in 1990 I was staying at Puttaparthy and went out at 4am to walk round the mandir. The sky was black, and it began to rain heavily, but of course it was warm. As it was raining, few came out that morning and those who did stood in the embrasures of the wall facing the mandir and waited for the rain to stop.
At once Baba came out of his rooms on to the platform of the mandir and looked across at us sheltering in the embrasures, and smiled. He then raised his arms to the sky and two bolts of lightning appeared from the clouds, shot down his arms and down his body to the platform and formed a ball of lightning at his feet. He then played with the ball, sending it spinning across the platform with a wave of his arm, and calling it back with another wave. When it came back to his feet, he motioned it back up his body and, raising his arms again sent it back into the sky - where it disappeared in to the dark clouds. He then turned to us again, smiled and went back into his rooms.
A stunning Baba lila!
