Dwarkanadh knew that the main reason his mother-in-law didn’t want to come for dinner was because his friend was a “Sai devotee”. Pankajam was an orthodox and staunch follower of Vaishnavism and she considered Vishnu as the only supreme Godhead. She naturally didn’t want to be associated to a ‘person’ who was adored as an Avatar of Shiva! This was possibly the reason why she preferred to address her grandson as ‘Gopal’ leaving out the ‘Sai’ prefix.
And such a woman, 4 hours later was saying, "Swami came home", when they were in Manama, Bahrain!
The take-home lesson from Mrs Pankajam Sundaram’s life for me is to take Swami home with me. It is very much possible because there is no place in this Universe that He cannot manifest and no time period that He cannot access. Till He decides to do that, I shall wait at home eagerly anticipating the knock on my door...
