BABA CURED THE DISEASE OF THE FATHER OF SHRI RAMAKRISHNA G. KOTHARE M. A., MAHIM BOMBAY :-

Shri Ramakrishna G. Kothare was bron in 1908. His caste was Pathare Prabhu.

His father and mother first came to Shirdi in 1911 and they were worshipping

the oil paint Photo of Baba (Dwarakamayee Posture). They used to go to Shirdi

at least twice a year.

Baba used to give Ashtrwad to His devotees with Udi by standing at the rails

of Dwarakamayee by wearing voilet colour edged Peethambaram. He saw this. He

loved Baba sincerely. His family was full of Sai devotion. After his first

visit in 1911, they started with a group of bhajan and Arati performed there

daily which was called as Sai Laj. His father fell sick with Nimonea in 1913

and bacame too serious. One Dr. Naik treated him said that his case is serious

and got no belief in survival. His mother made a vow to Baba that if her

husband cured from death bed, she would come to Shirdi by walk and take darshan

of Baba. Besides this, the people of Sai Laj came and did bhajan in the name of

Baba before the patient. His uncle also came with his bhajan Mandali and did

bhajan and told to his sister that his brother-in-law would not die of Nimonea.

Doctor -Vaik came at 10-00 P.M. and given an injuction to the patient and told

to all that the patient will live only upto 12 O' clock midnight. Bhagwat Geeta

read out to the patient to hear it. After 11 P.M. the patient bsgan to suffocate

and felt hard to breathe. At this time, patient's wife wailed like any­thing and

bawled out "Baba save my husband''. The suffocation lasted till 1 A. M. They

told the situation to the doctor. The doctor came and examined the patient and

gave one injection and told that crisis were over and now the patient's status

was within his look­out. All the Bhajan went on till 4 AM and all of them told

the patient's wife, that Baba has yielded her requ­est and that she should be

ready for Shirdi trip on foot. From that time patient improved day by day and

cured completely in few months. As per the vow of the patient's wife, patient,

patient's wife and the bhajan Mandal came on foot upto Kopergaom. From

Kopargaom all came in 5 carts to Shirdi whereas patie­nt's wife alone followed

the cart on foot up to SHIRDI as per her vow. She came to some distance in an

uneven stonny and throny way and felt uneasy with swollen legs and sat below a

tree. A man with white beared in shepherd dress straight away came to her and

told her that her vow had been accepted by Baba and that there was no harm in

getting into the cart and go over to Shirdi. But she did not accept and came

away by foot along upto Shirdi. At that time Baba asked Jog to stop the Arati

for a little time. In the mean­while all came to Arati. Baba told to Nanasaheb

that I met her on the way and told her to come in cart. But she refused and

came by foot. See how her legs, were! They will be alright by the evening. They

all stayed at Shirdi and gone to their homes with Baba's permission safe and

sound.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be there ! !
