41. Baba given Darshan and helped Sri Navin Bhagwanji Desai, Jalalpur, Gujarat

[Guest guest]

I got my father, mother, wife and children I became a Sai devotee since 1967

and I completely attached to His feet thinking that He is the only guide,

saviour and God to me. Baba given Darshan to me in my dream in my house. He

asked me to come to His Samadhi in Shirdi. I gone to His Samadhi. Baba put

thilak on my forehead, spread a towel and poured on it 300 silver one rupee

coins tied it, gave it to me and asked me to go away. I got down from the

Samadhi. He again called me. I got up His Samadhi. He put some jaggery into

my mouth by taking it from a Katturi and asked me to go away. Then I came to

my place". I tought it was an auspicious Symptom for me to visit Shirdi. I

first gone to Shirdi in 1967 and got accommodation in Baba's Gurusthan

building. I requested Baba to give His darshan to prove to me that He has

accepted me as His devotee. Accordingly to my wish, Baba given me darshan as

he was watering the plants behind the Samadhi Mandir".

Afterwards, I resigned my job which fetched me . Rs. 1800/- P. M. I was

fully emerged in Baba's devotion. My wife was a teacher. All on a

sudden she became mad and talking indifferently. I tried all sorts of

medicines for her cure by spending nearly Rs. 10,000/- The doctor told me at

length that there is no use of medical treatment to her and that I have to

seek her Divine aid. One day night at about 2-30 A. M. she told me that she

had given her earnings of about Rs. 40,000/- to me and wanted divorce from

me with Rs. 40,000/-. I was too much worried and prayed to Baba heartily

"that if you do not find solution for her status within 24 hours, you will

not be considered as Baba”. Daily one singer used to come to our house in

the morning at about 5 A.M. for alms. Next day morning my wife gave her

alms. At that time he told her that she was not a mad woman and that

somebody had done evil things to her. She will be cured shortly. I too heard

this with her and ascertained Baba's dictum through Him. I took her to the

adjacent village where such cases are attended to in a Maruthi Mandir. She

was cured of from her evil spirits by an expense of Rs. 1-50 by the grace of

Baba and she became more devoted to Shri Sai Baba than myself.

Again in 1967, I visited Shirdi for the second time with my family and I got

my room in the ground floor of the Gurusthan. When I went out for shopping a

well built dog gone before me and stopped in front of one shop. I purchased

my required article from that shop. Again the dog directs me to follow and

took me to 4 or 5 shops and I purchased from all the shops my required

articles and finally taken me straight away to my room in Baba's Gurusthan

and entered in my room and seated in my Gadi. At that time, my mother served

dishes for us. The dog without any hasty gone to one dish taken something in

each variety and came back and sat in the same gadi. We have taken our food

and we want to vacate our room as we want to go to Surat by bus at 11 A.M.

Then the time was 10-30. I requested the dog in my mind, "Baba I am

satisfied for your guidance and help. I want to vacate my room and proceed

to Surat, please I kindly request you to enable me to vacate my room". As

soon as I thought likewise, the dog suddenly got up and went away.

Afterwards, we vacated and proceeded to our place.

My brother is an illiterate. His marriage was a great problem to us as no

one is forthcoming to give him daughter as he was an illiterate. The

neighbour village friends' son has to be married with the daughter of our

village. Both of them Bride and Bridegroom came to our house for betrothal.

At that time, my heart so sickened that I stand before Baba's photo and

requested heartily whether Baba would perform my brother's marriage. The

betrothal party has gone from my house. After one week, one old man who have

attended the betrothal had seen my brother, our house, our routine, our

influence and determined to give his daughter to my brother for marriage.

Baba has yielded to my prayer and settled my brother's marriage. I came to

Shirdi with marriage invitation and placed it in all the places of Baba and

prayed heartily to come to the marriage and bless the couples. I

performed the marriage of my brother in a grand scale in such a manner

that the villagers are even now telling that they have not ever seen such

kind of marriage in our village. At about 12 noon an unknown Fakir

came very hastily, straight away to me and requested me for meals. I fed

him in a fit manner. After his meals, I gave him the remaining amount in

my packet i.e., Rs. 21/- as dakshina thinking that no other than Baba

himself came and satisfied my vision.
