CHAPTER I5:::

Narada's music tradition, Cholkar, two lizards

 

*Narada's music tradition: Once, like all the traditional religious

storytellers and kirtankars, Das Ganu also dressed himself with turban, coat,

nice shirt inside, long angavastra etc. and presented before Baba, on his way to

a Hari katha. Baba sarcastically remarked: "Fine, groom. Remove all those attire

and place them before me, Narada, the celestial kirtankar, never wore anything

above the waist." From then on Das Ganu did not wear anything above his waist

while reciting Hari katha.

*Cholkar: Das Ganu used to place a photo of Sai Baba and sing in His praise,

wherever he performed Hari Katha. Due to this yeomen service, thousands came to

know about Baba. Once Cholkar, a temporary Government servant, on hearing about

Baha during Das Ganu's Hari katha, prayed that if he was made permanent he would

come to Shirdi and offer sugar candies. Shortly he became permanent. He began to

save money to go to Shirdi by avoiding sweets and even foregoing sugar in tea.

Once adequate money was saved he came to Shirdi, bowed to Baba and distributed

sugar candies in the masjid. When he was about to leave, Baba told his host:

'Give your guest tea saturated with sugar!' A stunned Cholkar was moved to

tears.

*Two lizards: One day during noon a lizard on the walls of masjid made a

continuous noise. People sitting there asked Baba as to what the lizard's sound

meant. Baba said that it was expressing its happiness about the anticipated

arrival of its sister from Aurangabad. A little later, a pilgrim from Aurangabad

came non-stop on a steed. When he alighted and dusted the bag containing horse

gram, a lizard jumped out of that bag, ran to the masjid wall and started

dancing around with the lizard that was already there.

Those who read this chapter with devotion would be rid of all deep

sorrows.

Tashmai Shri Gurur Veh Namah"
