68. EXPERIENCE OF SHRI GOVINDASWAMY ALIAS BHAU SWAMY, MADRAS

[Guest guest]

Shri Govindaswamy alias Bhau Swamy was an employee in the Madras Electricity

Tramways. He took leave and started with his wife and children for alround

pilgrimage in 1916. Because his Guru's name was Rambhau of South Kaaara, he

was called as Bhau Swamy. He went to Shirdi on 23-8-1915 and took Baba's

darshan on Sunday. He did bhajan with his family. Baba gave him eight annas.

He would get Rs. 2/- in cash and burfi worth Rs. 2/- from Baba daily, He

sold off the burfi at once for Rs. 1-12-0 to the shopkeepers. He kept a

dairy for all of these. This is all the diary. On 3-9-1915 he got a

wonderful dream and thereby became Baba's devotee. Dr.Pillai told him to

give in writing the details of the dream. He wrote it out at Shirdi and gave

it to Dr. Pillai. He used to perform bhajan daily before Baba and sometimes

before Radhakrishnamai. He was highly appreciated. He was given a Marathi

Book containing life of Baba by Radhakrishnamai.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely !! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be

there !!
