The later life of Meher Baba was characterized by unbroken silence, his

contacting a large number of god-intoxicated saints in various countries.

Off and on he went into seclusion and fasted. He distinguished himself in

his service of the lepers whom he bathed with his own hands and clothed. He

met his guru Sri Upasani Maharaj again on 17th October 1941, prostrated

before him and spent half an hour with him alone. This was their last

meeting before Sri Upasani Maharaj left off his body on 24th December,

1941.

 

Meher Baba himself took mahasamadhi in 1968. He has a very large band of

devotees. The words of Meher Baba relevant to this context are, “You will

never be able to understand thoroughly how great Sai Baba is. He is the

very personification of Perfection. If you know him as I know him, you would

call him, the Master of Creation.”

 

Sri Sai Sharananandaji

 

Shri Sai Sharananandaji was an ardent devotee of Sai Baba and was

immensely blessed by him. He is revered as a Satpurusha by a large number

of people. The writer of this book had the good fortune of being blessed by

him at Shirdi. He is indeed one of those rare souls who ever bask in the

constant spiritual proximity of Baba. He is the author of the famous book

‘Sai the Superman’. An outline of his spiritual life and his experiences

with Baba were summarized by him in his article entitled “The teachings of

Shri Sainath” in the Souvenir published on the 50th Anniversary of Shri Sai

Baba’s Mahasamadhi. I quote it in toto from it for the benefit of the

readers:

 

“On the Datta Jayanti day of 1940 A.D., my father took me to Malad to pay

respects to one Balkrishna Maharaj, a disciple of Sri Akkalkot Maharaj. My

father had taken with him two books, Eknath Bhagawat and Life of Shri

Akkalkot Maharaj for the holy touch and blessings of Balkrishnaji; the said

Maharaj, instead of returning the book to my father as desired, handed over

the books to me, asking me to read the same. My knowledge of Marathi was

limited; so I could not understand Eknath Bhagawat but I read the Swamiji’s

life without any difficulty. I then expressed my desire to see such a saint

if such a rarity could be found. Some months after this my father heard of

such a saint, Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi and went to Shirdi.
