Sathya Sai Baba referred to Mohammad Rafi as "God’s own soul": Hindi film star-director veteran Manoj Kumar
From the article, Rafi reigns, http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/rafi-reigns/article19377852.ece, dated 28th July 2017
It is a viewpoint shared by actor–director Manoj Kumar too. Recounting an anecdote when he took Rafi Sahab to a discourse of Sathya Sai Baba (of Puttaparthi) on the request of the spiritual Guru himself, Kumar elaborates he was privy to a celestial spectacle that is still vivid in his memory. As Rafi Sahab sang an impromptu bhajan on public request, “Sathya Sai Baba pointed out to me the ethereal aura of light that enveloped the humble singer’s body while he sang in a meditative trance.” The veteran says “Baba told me he had requested for Rafi Sahab as he was God’s own soul” and confesses Rafi Sahab always had a heart warming smile and a sublime aura of serenity that was unique to his persona alone.
