SAMADHIS ON THE WAY TO LENDI BAGH

HAJI ABDUL BABA

This is the first Samadhi to your right on the way to Lendi Bagh. Abdul Baba

was the premier Sevak of Baba, who wrote down everything that Baba said, and

read it daily as his Quran. Baba bestowed on him His grace and he progressed

spiritually. After Baba's Mahasamadhi Abdul used this manuscript to

prophecy. He took samadhi on 16th August 1954. His Samadhi is looked after

by his descendants.

NANAVALI

There was in Shirdi a quaint and queer fellow who looked after Baba's work

and affairs. He loved Baba so much that he breathed his last on the 13th day

of Baba's Mahasamadhi (Ref. ESS, Ch. X).

Once he asked Baba to get up from His Gadi as he wanted to occupy it. Baba

got up and Nanavali sat there for a little while, then fell prostrate at

Baba's feet and left. The Sansthan looks after his samadhi.

V.P. IYER

Just behind Nanavali's Samadhi is this Samadhi. He was a Sugar Technologist

and worked at various sugar mills. In 1944 he was transferred to Lakshmi

Wadi sugar mills near Kopergoan and became an ardent devotee of Baba and

visited Shirdi frequently. On 27th May, on his visit to Shirdi he fell ill

and Doctors were called to treat him. He lay with his eyes closed and would

open them at times only to look at Baba's Photo. Then embracing Baba's photo

and he said "Baba, Sai aba' and smilingly breathed his last. The villagers

loved him intensely and they requested the Sansthan to build his Samadhi in

Shirdi.
