11. BABA MADE SHRI KAKASAHEB DIXIT TO ATTEND THE DINNER PARTY ARRANGED BY

SHRI KRISHNA RAO NARAYAN PARULKAR HARDA AND SATISFIED HIM

Shri Krishna Rao Narayan Parulkar, Honorary Magistrate of Harda has

been celebrating "Shri Datta Festival” for several years ususally falling

in December and feeding one hundred brahmins on that occasion and whenever

for some reason or other he was not able to do so in a year, he would feed

double the usual number (i. e.) two hundred brahmin) in the next year.

As per that self imposed rule, he was to feed two hundred brahmins in

respect of that celebration in the year 1925. One Saturday was fixed for

dinner, only when five days were left to it, that is on Monday. On Tuesday

when Parulkar was merged in meditation as per his daily routine, he

heard a voice saying "If you desire that on the day you are feeding the

brahmins, I should come and dine with them, you call Sri Dixit from

Bombay, Parulkar however thought to himself whether it was proper for him

to request Shri Dixit to come such a long distance simply for taking

dinner while he was in the midst of such conflict of thoughts, he again

heard the voice, "why did you puzzle? Write to Dixit, feed him with all

the other brahmins and when you have done so, know it for certain

that I joined the party taking dinner at yours.” So Parulkar wrote to

Shri Dixit on Wednesday requesting him to attend the dinner on Saturday.

Failing to hear from Shri Dixit all preparations were made for serving the

dinner on Saturday, Parulkar with tearful eyes requested Baba to set

matters right and then taking his bath, so soon as he started doing his

mid-day routine prayers, he got a telegram from Shri Dixit informing him

that he and Madhavrao Deshpande were on the way to Harda. All were

gladdened to receive the news. They all went to the Station to receive

them. Accorded them a hearty welcome and gave them a sumptuous feast in

the company of the two hundred brahmins. Sri Parulkar was overy joyed

and he now felt that Baba is still there to satisfy all the Godly craving of

his heart.
