93. BABA MADE THE HABITAUL DRINKER TO GIVE UP DRINKING

[Guest guest]

Shri Naik and his friend Shri Shantharam both came to Shirdi for Baba's

darshan. Shantharam was a habitual drinker of liquor. Baba made him to stay

in shirdi for six days. During these six days he gave up his practice of

drinking liquor and never touched it throught his life.

Naik has got another friend. His son was also in the habit of drinking

liquor. Doctor advised him not to drink liquor often and added that he would

live only on liquor. Naik told his friend Sonar to send his son to Shirdi

for Babas darshan. Naik, Sonar and his son started for Shirdi. His son began

to vomit from Man-mad itself. After he came to Shirdi, his vomitting

stopped. At the time of taking darshan of Baba, Baba blessed him. He stayed

for four days in Shirdi. He did not touch the liquor during these four days.

>From that time his appetite for liquor gone away. He forgot liquor.

This was occured on Vaishak month. In Badhrapad month, DEVI GOWRI used to

instal in all the places. In his place also Gowri was installed. On the last

day of Gowri Visarjana from that place all would conduct festival and used

to drink liquor. All his friends compelled Sonar's son to drink liquor. He

refused it. But they have compelled him to drink. He further told them that

Baba was appearing in the liquor glass. They made him to drink the liquor.

Then he drank liquor unlimi-ttedly and slept unconsciously in his asan

itself in the fire.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be

there !!
