Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 In 1915 Nachne of Thana was leaving for Shirdi. At the railway station one V.S. Samant gave him coconut and two annas with which to buy candy as his offering to Baba. When Nachne reached Shirdi he gave the coconut to Baba but forgot all about the two annas. Baba wanted to see if he would recollect it. At least, when Nachne asked Baba’s permission to return home, Baba said “But why keep back a poor brahmin’s two annas?” When Nachne gave him the two annas and asked for his pardon, Baba said, “Whatever you undertake to do, do thoroughly; else do not undertake it.” Khanderao Garde was the disciple of Shri Ramanand Bidkar Maharaj who was a saint of great powers and a disciple of Sri Akkalkot Maharaj. His guru told him that Garde should visit a number of saints who would, even at the very sight of him, recognize him as one of their own stock. One of these saints he mentioned was Sri Sai Baba. Bidkar Maharaj told him that Sai would greet him as ‘Ramadas’. Accordingly he visited Shirdi in 1912 or so. On seeing Garde, Sai Baba welcomed him saying “Welcome Ramadas!” Obviously the reference to Garde meant “a disciple of Ramanand.” Source: http://www.saibharadwaja.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
