BABA RESCUED HIS DEVOTEES DURING RUSSIA-JAPANESE WAR

 

Long before this Baba had run up to the rescue of one of his devotees

three steamers during the Russia-Japanese War. The devotee Shree

Jehangirji Framji Daruwala served as a captain. When he found that

his steamers save three were all sunk by the enemy and that the rest

of the steamers including his own would soon meet the same fate, he

took out Baba's photo from his pocket and with tears in his eyes

prayed to Baba to save him and his three steamers. Baba at once

appeared on the scene and towed all the sinking steamers to the bank.

Just at the time Daruwala offered up his prayers, Baba bawled out

"Ha", and then seated as he was in his usual place in the Dwarkamai,

he had his Kafni and head cloth completely drenched, dripping with

water for more than half an hour with the result that the Dwarkamai

was transformed into a pool of water. The devotees could not

understand what all that was; they simply removed water from the

Dwarkamai and dried Baba's clothes. On the third day after this Baba

received a telegram from Jehangirji narrating how Baba had saved him

and offering him a thousand thanks for his marvellous rescue of

himself and the three steamers with passengers. Immediately on his

return to India he came and paid his respects to Baba. He has retired

now from his service; but in appreciation of his services, Government

has provided him with some Job. He is taking keen interest in Baba's

affairs even to day. Lately he donated about two thousand two hundred

rupees in two installments and got the 'Mandap' of Dwarkamai repaired

to his satisfaction.
