69. BABA ACCEPTED THE OFFERING OF NAIVEDYA BY SMT. ADILAKSHIMIAM-MAL WIFE OF BHAU SWAMY AGED ABOUT 50 NO. 95 ANNA PILLAI ST. MADRAS

August 3, 2004

I went to Shirdi with my husband and 2 girls on 23-8-1915 and took darshan

of Baba. He went first to Nasik and served Narasingh Bhuva in Kala Ram

Temple. He told us to go and see Shri Sai Baba, Shirdi. He found Baba's

durbar very grand. A number of dancing girls danced before Him, Kathas were

performed. Aero, batie feats were exhibited. There was thrilling crowd

always at the mosque and accompanied Chawadi. We stayed there a month

and a half.

My husband had not much faith in Baba at starts He then had a dream

wherein his was bound hands and feet. Baba released him in the dream

(Baba's satchari-tra chapter 29) English. Hence he got faith in Baba

: from that time, Baba used to give us and others burfi, ' supplied by a

local shopman. Two rupees .worth burfi: , daily he showered an us and

Rs. 2/- in cash. We felt we had no need for it.

Only once I gave Him Naivedya on 30-8-1915. I myself prepared it with

intense devotion (and fear whether He wjuld accept it or not) thinking of

Baba and repeating His name all the time. I prepared the dishes (viz.) baji

and Payasam. When I took and placed " before Him Brahmin widow (Durgaba)

placed at the bottom of the row (i. e.) far away from Baba. .

Baba gradually moved up to the dish and began to eat it with Shama etc.,

ate up the whole lot. I was delighted at the acceptance of my devotion.

Baba knew our hearts and responded to our love. At parting, we were

assured our railway fare to Kashi would be given to us. 'But it was not

paid to us. But enroute we went to Harda Ghat and we got all our

pilgrimage expenses (contributed by devotees). .

Surrender Shri Sai Completely I Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be

there !!
