I’ve never been to Putaparthi but I have grown up with Baba’s presence all over my house. My mother is a staunch devotee, she is part of the bhajans and volunteers in Parthi hospitals every year. When I was a kid, Baba took an envelope from my hand which was something my mom wrote to him. I would like to visit and see the ashram and the hospitals he has build.

I haven’t seen the vibhudi blessing in my house, but I’ve seen him produce that and small objects from afar. I’ve grown to lean more towards the science. I don’t focus on the criticism he gets, but credit him for the good he has done with all those donations.
