Shri G. S. Khaparde Diary

(Diary of the Hon’ble Mr. G.S. Khaparde (events between 1910 December and 1918 March)

 

9th December 1910

I and my son intended going away today. In the morining, after prayer when we

went as usual to see Sai Maharaj, he asked my son if he intended going away and

added that we may go away. We thought the necessary permission had been granted

and made ready to start. Baba packed all things and engaged a spring cart and

another to carry our things, and in the afternoon went to formally see the Sai

Maharaj before actually starting. On seeing me Sai Maharaj said, "Do you really

intend going?" Ireplied "I wish to go but not if you do not permit." He said,

"Then you may go tomorrow or the day after. This is our house. The Wada is our

house, and why need anybody be

afraid while I am here? This is our house and you should look upon it as your

own house". I agreed to stay and countermanded all engagements for departure.

We sat down talking. Sai Maharaj was in a very pleasant mood and said many

pleasant things but I am afraid I did not understand him.

 

10th December 1910

In the morning after prayer I told my son Baba never to mention anything about

our going away to Sayin Maharaj. He knows all and would know Saheb as he was

going out, and leter on when we went to the Musjid, Sayin Saheb was very much

plised and told the story of a former life of a young girl who was playing with

him. He said she was an artist and died and was as usual furied. Sayin Saheb

passed that way and spent a night near her tomb. So she accompanied him. He

kept her in a babul tree and then brought her here. he said he was kabir before

and sed to spin yarn. The conversation was exceedingly plesent. In the afternoon

Mr. Shridharpant Paranjpe of wardha accompained by one Mr. Pandit, another

doctr, and a third gentalman came. Mr. Patwardhan, Junior of Ahmednagar was

with them. My son and he are old colleg friends. They all went to see Sayin

Saheb and we all accompained them. Sayin Saheb

treated them the same way as he treats everybody and talked of buldings that are

being put up and added, "The world is gone mad. Every man has acquired a

peculiarity of evil thinking. I never put myself on an equality with any of

them. So I never listen to what they say. Nay, I never reply. What should I

reply?". He tyhen distributed "Udi" and told us to return to Wada. He singled

out patwardhan Junoir and told him to stay behind as usua; mentioning

"tomorrow" as the day of departure. I and Babasahed Sahasrabuddhe returned to

Wada. It appears Paranjpe and his companions went to lady, Radhakrishna.

Bapusaheb Jog's wife has beeb ill. She benefited very much by what Sayin Saheb

says and he give on medicine but apparently she lost patience today and wanted

to go anway. Even Bapusahed Jog, out of Sheer helplessness agreed to let her

go. Sayiun Saheb made repeated inquiries about hewr and when she was giong.

When however, int the evening Bapusaheb jog proposed to go formally to Sayin

Saheb fo asking permission, she said she felt better and did not wish to go-we wondered.
