BABA SAVES

[Guest guest]

Baba said, "If you listen to me carefully, you will be certainly benefited" in

Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.XVI & XVII.

Sri Champaklal Chamanlal Manikwala is an advocate, residing at Relief Road,

Ahmedabad. He suffered from dropsy and gastric ulcer from 1948 onwards. He had

lost appetite, he vomited blood and could not eat anything nor drink even

water. His weight became abnormal, 300 pounds in 1952. Since January 1952, he

became bedridden. In April 1952, on the advice of his relations he had hung up

a photo of Baba and was praying to Him. But he also had a misgiving whether to

pray to a Muslim saint. Nevertheless, he was attracted by the photo, and he got

a vision of Baba, on evening, and Baba told him that he is not a fakir, but an

incarnation of Dutta. He also told him that there are nine incarnations of

Dutta like Tajuddin Baba of Nagpur, Dhuniwala Dada of Kandwa, Vishnu Debananda

Saraswathi of Narmada, the Mahant of Akkalkote etc. The lawyer the next day

obtained two books on Baba and began to read them. A few days later, the

lawyer’s condition deteriorated further and the

doctors completely gave up hopes and opined that his life would ebb away in a

few hours. Baba appeared again and told him "Baccha Mat Gabra tumara sub dukh

mai hardeja". Baba also instructed his mother to send her grandson to Shirdi

immediately.

The lawyer’s relations were in a fix. To send the lawyer’s son to Shirdi or not,

the lawyer’s son being inexperienced to travel alone, and also as nobody had any

hope of the lawyer’s survival. Nevertheless, the lawyer consulting his mother

and other relations decided to send his son to Shirdi, on the same day in the

evening Baba appeared again and told, "do not be afraid, I am with your son,

let him start immediately. Tomorrow by 12’o clock noon. You will receive a wire

from Shirdi that he has reached safe".

The son reached Shirdi as predicted by Baba and at 12 noon, a wire reached them.

As soon as the information of his son’s reaching Shirdi was received, the lawyer

began to purge continuously. This lasted for 2 hours. Urine also passed,

bleeding has stopped. By the next day all the poison in his body has passed out

and his body became light. He weighed 75 pounds! The heartbeat was normal. The

doctors were surprised at this transformation. In two months time he could take

his food. He has also resumed his practice after some months. The lawyer after

he became sufficiently strong visited Shirdi and has gone to all South Indian

Pilgrim centres.

Sri Narasimha Swamiji’s 80th birthday celebrations were fixed for 19th August

1953. The lawyer says that while he was in Madras during the pilgrimage on the

8th or 9th of August 1953, Baba gave him a visit again and told him to visit

His temple at Mylapore, Madras, and relate his experience to the devotees and

especially to Sri Narasimha Swamiji.
