This is the footage shot by Indian TV in Hyderabad, in August
1992. This footage created a storm in the Indian press, and more...
later was \\\"withdrawn\\\" by PM Narasimha Rao\\\'s influence. Sai
Baba\\\'s assistant brings the memento to Sai Baba , which Sai
Baba holds with both hands, the assistant is still holding the
memento with both hands too. Now the devotee does namaskar to
Sai Baba, and comes forward to receive the memento. From this
point watch Sai Baba\\\'s right hand closely. After the devotee
accepts the memento, as Sai Baba instead of releasing his
right hand, moves it further towards the assistant\\\'s hand
under the memento, we can clearly see Sai Baba\\\'s right hand
and the right hand of Sai Baba\\\'s assistant making contact as
if in a \\\"handshake\\\" at the moment the devotee has got the
memento in both hands. Particularly note the way the
assistant\\\'s right hand moves away after contacting Sai Baba\\\'s
right hand... it is released in the typical manner after
\\\"putting something\\\" with a cupped hand. This clip is actually
better when seen in the normal speed.
