Sai Baba the Master

[Guest guest]

Now we shall turn to Sai Baba’s knowledge of the past lives of persons and

even of animals.

 

When Prof. G.G Narke first visited Sai Baba, the latter said to Shama who

was about to introduce the visitor. “You introduce him to me? I have known

him for thirty lives!” Similarly, when Raghuvir Purandhare visited Baba in

1909, the latter said to Purandhare that they were connected for seven

centuries. He added, “I will not forget him. I will always remember him

even if he is away- even more than 2,000 miles! I will not eat even a bit

without him.”

 

M.W.Pradhan had a son by name ‘Babu’. Sai Baba was particularly fond of

him. Nearly a year before Babu’s birth Sai Baba pointed out Mrs.Pradhan to

Shama and said, “She is the mother of my Babu.” Sai Baba once told his

devotees about Babu’s past life thus: “A pious old man lived at Shirdi for

twelve years. His wife and his grown-up sons who were at Jalna repeatedly

requested him to return to them. At last he went on horse back and I (

i.e., Sai Baba ) followed him in a cart. After a time,this old man married

a young girl, the daughter of his own sister and had a son by her. The boy

was later poisoned by biradars and was born as Babu, and Babu, after his

death, is now born again in Bombay.”

 

In a similar vein Sai Baba once told Balasaheb Bhate that the latter was a

khatri in his past life and that his wife and son of the present life were

of a weaver’s caste in their past life. He said that his devotee Vasudeva

Kaka was, in his past life, a Rajput named Jai Singh who had a daughter of

loose morals; that the latter become a mistress of a barber. He said, on

another occasion that his devotee Smt. Chandrabai Borkar was his sister in

her past seven births.
