Shri Purandare came to Shirdi during one Good Friday and took Baba's
darshan and stayed in Bala Shimpi's house. Baba told him that the He
would come for meals to him on that day. Purandare requested Baba as
to what items have to be prepared. Baba told to prepare Rice, Seera,
Baji, Two Baaji and Masala Kichadi and that two other Fakirs also
would come for meals. Purandare prepared the food as directed by Baba. After
Arati, he came to his house and saw the food was prepared. The four or five
Fakirs came and they told that many have yet to come. Purandhare fed them.
Afterwards about 20 Fakirs came. Purandhare fed them also. After they have
eaten and gone and another ten Fakirs came. Purandare fed them also and
still the food remained. The rice washed and kept ready to prepare second
time was lying idle. Purandare gone to Baba with betel leaves and dakshina
and called him for meals. Baba told "I have eaten very much and I feared
much" and told Purandare to take his meals and asked him to feed Bala Shimpi
also. Purandare took Bala Shimpi fed him along with his family members and
his wife too. The food yet remained for two days. Purandare took prasad from
that food and went to Bombay. It is not due to the Leela of Baba ?
Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be
there !!
