Sai Baba the Master by E.Bharadwaja

[Guest guest]

Mrs. Malanbai, daughter of D.R. Joshi Devgaonkar suffered from

tuberculosis. All medicines having failed, she was taken to Baba at

Shirdi. Baba asked her to lie down on a blanket and take nothing but

water. She carefully followed these instructions but after a week or so

she died one early morning. Baba was then in the chavadi. For the first

time in Shirdi history Baba did not leave the chavadi though it was past 8

a.m. The girl’s parents were making ready for the funeral when Malanbai

appeared to breathe, opened her eyes and looked around as if frightened.

Later she narrated her experience: “A dark person was carrying me away;

very much frightened, I cried for Baba’s help. Baba took his staff and

beet him, snatched me from his hands and carried me to chavadi.” Even

though she did not see the chavadi she gave an accurate description of the

place. Just at the moment of her revival Baba left his chavadi, crying

loudly in wild abuse, striking his staff against the ground and he proceed

straight to Dixit’s wada where the girl was staying.

 

Rajaballi Mohammad says, “I wanted only increase of faith. I wanted that

at my death, I may die possessed of full iman or faith so that I may have

a good end. I prayed to him (mentally) for that and asked for his

blessings. He placed his hand on my head and blessed me. From that moment

his blessings have borne fruit. My faith had steadily increased. Besides

that, I have a great benefit from my faith in him and in his udi.”
