Shirdi Fruits - Sai Experience

[Guest guest]

Soon after the Divine declaration of His identity with Shirdi Sai, Sathya Sai,

one day, miraculously produced some fruit which had never been tested or even

seen by anybody in that area. His aunty (Father's sister) enquired about the

fruit as to what it was and from where had it come? Baba smiled and replied, "I

have called it from Shirdi". All present they received from the aunt a Shirdi

fruit each. The basket could contain only about 40 such fruits, since Baba had

touched it with His Divine hands, the fruits poured forth a plenty from the

receptacle. Conceding the ardent request of the blessed aunt, Baba gave her

also the Divine Darshan of His previous body. She describes it: "Baba took me

to the inner room. At that time He had placed His palms on my closed eyes.

Lifting His hands from my eyes, Baba pointed His finger towards the corner,

directing me to see there. Aha' I saw Shirdi Sai right there sitting in His

characteristic posture. His eyes were closed and

there were clear signs of vibhuti on His forehead and arms, smoke arising from

incense sticks, placed before Him. His body radiating wonderful effulgence, a

Divine brilliance and splendour. This held me spellbound. A mild delicate and

sweet fragrance percolated the atmosphere all round". In a few minutes Baba

asked her, "Have you seen everything?" The fortunate lady replied, "Oh what a

wonderful Divine Miracle!". An attribute, namely, remembering the details of a

'Poorva-janama (previous birth)', is possessed singularly by Divinity alone.

For us common humans, even to remember broad high­lights and headlines of our

lives, a few months or days prior, is often not possible. The sweet stream of

Shirdi Life that issued forth from its Source (the Young Sai) could only be

possible through the phenomenon of reincarnation. In His early teens, Baba

composed and sang 'Nama-Sankirtana'- the sole remedy for the current Kali

age-thus initiating the 'Namasmarna Movement', which

comprises singing in congregation the glories of it God. During this period from

His lips issued forth several enchanting Bhajans on Shirdi Sai, nay even earlier

in the prankful days of early child­ hood the Bala Sai had sung similar melodies

with His tiny-tot companions who repeated the same after Him with gusto. These

melodies contained a flavor of precise details of Shirdi, Dwarkamayi,

Booty-temple, Samadhi Mandir, Neem tree and bove all the 'Udi'. The local

populace of course wondered as to who this Muslim Fakir was and what and where

was Shirdi.
