Let's get back to the story of the events in Manipur that took place on December 28, 2022. By evening, Mata Bijaya Devi, Mata Tomba Devi, the five main residents of the ashram, and I had gathered for a meeting to discuss everything that had happened that day.

We sat in the temple and discussed the events of the day. Several important questions arose. What actually happened? How to react to it? How to understand what happened? What should we do next? During our meeting, the subtle body of Sathya Sai Baba re-entered Mata Bijaya Devi, and we received the message that the "proclamation" on the subtle plane had indeed taken place.

Interestingly, quite a few devotees from both India and Russia felt that something unique had happened in the context of Prema Sai's mission. Therefore, many people immediately began to send me questions and stories about their mystical experiences.

People wrote to me the same day that they felt something special. Many realized that these mystical experiences were connected with Prema Sai Baba but could not understand the meaning of what was happening.

The next morning, we approached the boy Prema Sai Baba and asked him to comment on everything that had happened. In response to our questions, the then ten-year-old, Prema Sai Baba, confirmed that on the subtle plane, the “proclamation” really happened, but that it concerns only close devotees who are already feeling it.

For the whole world, the "proclamation" will come later and only then will Prema Sai Baba's official mission on Earth begin. We now call this the “declaration on the subtle plane”.

As of today (2023), there are five most important dates in the development of the Prema Sai Baba tradition.

1) June 28, 2012, the day of the apparition when the divine boy was born.

2) April 12, 2015, the day when he was identified as a divine incarnation. He was then two and a half years old.

3) July 4, 2019, the day there was an initiation into the Gayatri mantra. Then he was seven years old.

4) December 28, 2023, the day of "proclamation" on the subtle plane. Then the divine boy was ten and a half years old.

5) June 18, 2023, the first Darshan in an orange robe, he was almost eleven years old (more on that in the next chapter).

48. First Darshan in orange robe

On June 18, 2023, ten days before Prema Sai Baba's birthday, Vadim Evseev, a devotee from Russia who regularly visits the divine boy, brought Sathya Sai Baba's orange robe with him. Vadim received this robe as a gift from Madhusudan.

What is a Sathya Sai robe and how could Vadim have it? The robe is the orange garment worn by Sathya Sai Baba. In any photo or video, we see him in these clothes. Of course, he could sometimes wear not only orange robes, but robes of other colors — red, yellow and white.

Sathya Sai Baba changed robes every day and sometimes twice a day. Subsequently, he could distribute these robes as a gift to some devotees. Among my acquaintances there are several people who have a real robe of Sathya Sai Baba.

On June 18, 2023, the boy Prema Sai Baba put on the orange robe for the first time, which Vadim presented to him that day. The idea to present the divine boy with Sathya Sai Baba's robe came to Vadim rather spontaneously. Vadim wasn't sure how the Prema Sai boy would react to the attempt to give him an orange robe.

To Vadim's pleasant surprise, seeing the orange robe, Prema Sai immediately decided to put it on. It was an amazing event with about twenty devotees from Russia present. None of those present expected such a development of events.

It was a truly historic moment. For an hour the boy Prema Sai Baba gave Darshan at his home dressed in Sathya Sai Baba's orange robe.

During this event, devotees were given the opportunity to do Padanamaskar (touching Sai's lotus feet). He blessed each devotee present by anointing their foreheads with sacred ashes while giving personal blessings. It is impossible to convey in words the power of the divine energy that descended on those present.

The day before the first Darshan in the orange robe, there was another interesting event that took place. Ivan Bessonov lives in Moscow. Every Saturday on the outskirts of the city, in the territory of a private park, he holds fire ceremonies (Yagna).

Ivan Bessonov conducts this special Vedic ritual together with a group of Sai devotees. The main deity of this fiery ceremony is the goddess, Kali. Several sacred artifacts are installed on the altar, including three stone lingams miraculously found in one of the places of power in the Ugra reserve (Kaluga region).

As a result of the mystical message received by Ivan in the spring of 2023, he and his friend Andrey Dubovitsky went to the Kaluga region, where these three Lingams were found in the deepest part of the forest. This story is unique because Ivan received information about the whereabouts of the Lingams while in a deep meditative state.

In subsequent mystical messages from the subtle plane, an indication was given to perform a special fire ceremony every Saturday to worship the goddess, Kali and a fire ceremony to the god, Shiva.

Mrs. Valentina, who had visited Puttaparthi several times during Sathya Sai Baba's lifetime, brought an orange robe to the fire ceremony, which she received as a gift from Sathya Sai Baba personally.

At the end of the ceremony, my wife Svetlana made a video call, as a result of which Prema Sai Baba saw the completion of this ritual on the outskirts of Moscow and blessed all the participants. During this video call, the divine boy saw that Sathya Sai Baba's orange robe was on the altar. Ivan with a group performs this ceremony every Saturday.

The next day, Sunday, Vadim
