72. Baba restored the lost property to the owner.

[Guest guest]

I got the opportunity to visit Shirdi in the month of May, 1961. My daughter

and her husband carried me there. All arrangements of going there from

Indore to Manmad by railway train were just like magic happenings and from

Manmad to Indore and back. I thought I was in dream. It was Thursday. I had

my first dar-shan of His exulted Holiness of Shri Sai Baba. I stood before

the Samadhi and His Shrine and tears of joy burst from my eyes. At Shirdi my

daughter while taking her bath forgot in the bath room her gold

neck-lace-chain. When coming out bath room she left it there. She did not

even remember that she had forgotten something. After having performed puja

and abhishek of Shri Sai Baba, we returned to rest for a while. We had put

our lodging on the gallery (second store) just in front of the Mantap or

hall. Suddenly my daughter had a recollection that she had forgotten her

gold necklace-chain in the bath room. We searched here and there. No where

could we find it. We thought that it was lost for good. In the meantime, I

consoled my daughter not to worry over the incident. At night on the same

day when some songs and bhajans were being sung by various artists, a man

came there and announced in the mike "I have found a necklace. The person to

whom it belongs, should come forward and claim it with proper proof".

Thereupon my daughter and husband approached the man and proved the claim.

She got it back. We wanted to find out the man to give him some reward for

his good turn. But the man disappeared. He was a young person. Since this

event, my whole family including my son and daughters and daughter-in-laws

have became Shri Sai Baba ardent devotees and whenever a chance comes by the

way, they do go to Shirdi to pay their due respects to Shri Sai Baba and His

Samadhi and bring prasad and UDI.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be

there
