Ms. Smruti Rath, a devotee from Bangalore, says, “Love neither dies, nor it ends, and Sai Geetha taught us how true love lives, even when life comes to an end.” The homage the Sai community paid to Sai Geetha world over, be it special Sai spiritual meetings from Kerala to Kashmir in India or special programs complete with powerpoint presentations and performances by small kids in Malaysia; or the poor feeding done on the 11th day of her passing by the Sai Youth in Hyderabad; or a big card created by the Bal Vikas children of Qatar honouring her or the several cute drawings that the small kids of the Sathya Sai School of Canada sketched in her memory or for that matter, the innumerable ways each Sai devotee remembered in reverence this exalted devotee of the Lord - every act, small or big, only went to show the indelible impact this elephant-devotee of the Lord had made in the hearts and minds of thousands of devotees from California to Canberra without ever speaking a word.

It is this purity of her personality that gave her all the beauty and bestowed peace and joy to anybody who was in her proximity. Ms Susan Hardwick, a devotee from England, says, “In 1998 I took my daughter Charlotte, who at the time was 17 years old, on her first visit to Swami. It was a magical time for Charlotte who although completely blind was aware of Swami’s presence everywhere. I took her to visit Sai Geetha and Charlotte was completely overwhelmed by the love of Sai Geetha for Swami and His love for her. We were allowed into the compound and Charlotte fed Sai Geetha with a fruit and this beautiful animal gently took the fruit from her hand and nudged her with her trunk. This sweet act brought tears to Charlotte’s eyes. She can never ever forget that experience.”

Mrs. Meera James, another devotee from London, says, “During my short trip to Prasanthi in August 2006 which I made in memory of my eight-year old daughter who passed away unexpectedly, I used to take walks with Sai Geetha almost every other day. Not having come to terms with the sudden tragedy, these walks with her helped me find answers to her sudden death. In fact, it was one of the highlights of my stay in Prasanthi and I will treasure these walks forever in my heart.”

“One of the first times I visited the Ashram, the departure from the ashram was exceptionally hard,” recalls Ms. Anita Ricka, a devotee from New Mexico, USA. “I had just started my return journey and my heart was crushed having to leave Swami and the Ashram. Sitting in the taxi, I noticed Sai Geetha on her morning walk, and my heart sang when I saw her. I asked the cab driver to just slow down a little and I cried out in silent despair. I greeted her with folded palms, behind the car’s window-glass and turned to look at her for as long as I could, sending her all my love and longing. To my surprise and joy, the sweet Sai Geetha lifted her trunk in a greeting, and I felt as if she was saying to me: ‘Don’t worry, He is always with you, and so am I. I greet you and love you too.’ So once again I cried, but this time it was tears of joy, and my journey home was just a bit easier. This may not seem much like a great experience to many, but to me it was huge. The way she responded to my love and longing was very special and stirring.”

Ms. Sally Kimball from Denver, Colorado, says, “This happened in 1985, during my second trip to Swami. I was walking back after listening to a discourse Swami gave to His students and on the way I stopped to see Sai Geetha. I touched her and felt such love radiating from her. I looked into her eyes and our eyes met. I remember thinking as if I was looking deep into a human’s eyes as I continued to look deep within her. Sri Reddy told us if we said ‘Sai Ram’, she would respond and she did too curling up her trunk. I was deeply moved by her presence and the gentleness of such a large elephant. And about the time I was to leave, I heard a commotion. Everybody was expecting Swami’s car to come that way. I waited for the chance and noticed Sai Geetha rocking back and forth in great anticipation - she knew He was coming. I hoped He would stop and visit Sai Geetha, unfortunately, that was not to happen nor did He even wave to her. As the car passed, He was actually looking the other way. And then when I turned to look at her, the disappointment that shadowed her being was heart-breaking. I watched tears roll down her radiant face and could feel how much she loved her Swami. She was focused on Him so intently. I realized she had more devotion in her heart than most of us present there. She taught me what unconditional love and devotion is.”
