Being a Brush in Baba’s Hands

Four decades ago, inspired by Bhagawan Himself, Mr B K Prasad embarked on a remarkable artistic journey by painting portraits of Swami. His very first painting was blessed by Swami in 1987. Since then, he has created more than 160 breathtaking portraits of both Shirdi Sai and Sathya Sai, each reflecting not merely artistic skill but profound devotion.

Looking back, Mr Prasad feels that his journey has been far more than an exploration of art, it has indeed been a path to self-realisation and salvation. “Painting Swami is nothing but meditation for me,” he says. “In truth, I am not the one holding the brush; it is Swami who holds me. Otherwise, forget painting, I would not even be standing or breathing today.”

Among the countless blessings he has received, one remains especially precious: Bhagawan's words, “Your paintings look like photographs.” In this Satsang, Mr Prasad takes us through his extraordinary journey of self-discovery through oil, paint, and brush, sharing how devotion transformed his art into a spiritual sadhana.

Professionally, Mr Prasad is a certified Cost Accountant who has enjoyed a distinguished career in senior management roles across finance and information technology with several multinational corporations.
