18. SHRI JANARDHAN MORESHWAR FANSE ALIAS HARIBHAU FANSE CURED FROM CHOLERA

AND OTHER DISEASES BY THE GRACE OF BABA:

Shri Janardhan Moreshwar Fanse alias Haribhau Fanse wearied with carrying on the

burden of his wordly cases informing his mother left his home for Rameswaram.

However Shirdi is on the way and with a view to have blessings from the far

famed Shri Sai Baba, he came to Shirdi. He felt so much attracted by Baba, that

he stayed at ghirdi for one week. When he asked Baba's permission to go to

Rameswaram, Baba ordered him to go home. Saying his mother had left food since

the day he had left home, she might die. He gone home. The mother was very much

pleased to see her son back at home and was convinced that Baba was omniscent.

In the meanwhile a person of his village being attached with cholera approached

him, he administered to him Baba's holy ashes and he was cured. This led to

people to think that he was a pysician. The holy ashes however soon exhausted

and so Haribhau was embrasced as to how he should deal with another cholera

case if he got one. But luckily for him the cholera left his village and

casually met one Marwari merchant known to him. The merchant seeing that a

simple devotee had come to meet him told Haribhau "Look here, my brother is

seriously ill, all physicians and doctors have tried their utmost to cure him,

but they have all failed now since you are Shri Sai Baba's devotee, if your Sai

Baba is really a saint, he must cure my brother through you. Haribhau saw the

patient found the case to be serious, was therefore anxious to slip away but as

it was night, he could not leave for home. At night when Haribhau bha-jan

(prayer) time became due, the patient himself made the necessary preparations

for bhajan and through out the Bhajan sat concentrating on Baba's Photo. This

surprised all and the Marwari now said "whether the patient dies or survives I

will have his medicines from none but you." To avoid the responsibility,

Haribhau purposely quoted his fees in excess of those of the Civil Surgeon at

Rs. 200/- The marwari agreed to that. That night Baba appeared in Shri

Haribhau's dream and told what the disease was and the medicine to be

prescribed for it. Haribhau prescribed the said medicine and the patient

started taking this medicine. The patient fully recovered after a time and so

the marwari offered Rs. 200/-, the stipulated fees for Shri Haribhau, but

Haribhau would not accept it stating that he had done nothing it was his Guru's

Work. Marwari could not rest satisfied till he made good Haribhau's labour in

some form or other. So he bought a scarf worth Rs. ?00/- and going to

Haribhau's hours, when he was out and left it there. Haribhau could not refuse

the acceptance, but he felt that the price amount of the scarf should be sent

to Baba. However he was pennyless and Baba had also left off His body in the

meanwhile, offering his night prayers, tears rolled down his eyes. That very

night Baba appeared in his dream and said "There is famine allround at present,

so sell the scarf and purchase rice from this amount of Rs. 200/- and sell it

under price for the present. Carry on this busine till the amount of Rs. 200/-

runs out. Then sell lice at profit and you will be able to made a living."

Following these instructions, Haribhau prospered and became 'nappy and then

never thought of deserting home.
