Baba and Others Saints

74. Keshav Naik of Tardev, when Akkalkote Maharaj was passing away (about 1878)

thus addressed him: Maharaj, if you go away, what support have we?Akkalkote M.

(giving his shoes to be worshipped) My Avatar (spirit) will be at Shirdi in

Ahmadnagar District. Go there always. Be devoted there. If you do so, you will

not remember me. And you will be happyWhen Akkalkote Maharaj passed away,

Keshav Naik and his son Ramachandra Naik, accompanied by two orthodox Brahmins

went to Sai Baba at Shirdi. On the way the Brahmins referred to Baba as a mad

moslem fakir to whom no Brahmins could bow. When all four reached Baba.Baba (to

Keshav Naik): You and your son may come and visit me, if you like.(Pointing to

the other two); These are Karmata Brahmins.Baba to Ramachandra Naik-Fetch

Margosa leaves. Ramachandra Naik brought some leaves. Baba distributed the

leaves to the four.Baba: Eat the leaves. How do they taste? Brahmis (with a wry

face);

Very bitter.The two Naiks: The leaves are sweet. We ate plenty of the

leaves.Thus Baba parted his sheep from the goats, and confirmed the statement

of Akkalkote Maharaj.I am at Mirzgaon ('Fakir Bua') Why come here? (Kusa Bhav)I

am Bandra Moulana.[i am Nanded Moulana] You have already given me Rs.3-14-0

75 I am with you wherever you may be.I do not require conveyance to take me.

76. S.B." (May 1914) addressing Mrs. T., a Bandra lady and her son Master T. :

was astonished at this statement as she saw Baba daily at Shirdi, and said

"Baba What is this strange thing you say?"S.B.: I do not speak falsehood. I am

Mahalaxmi. Mother I come to your house. You give me things to eat, is that not

true?Mrs. T: Yes, BabaShirdi Lady: Truly, does Baba go to you and do you feed

him?Mrs. T: Yes.Baba, to Master T.: Do I not come to your house? Master T.:

Yes, Baba.S.B. to Shirdi Lady: Yes, mother, I go easily to Bhav's house (i.e.,

Bhav's house at Bandra). In the middle, there is a wall. Jumping over it, next

comes the railway line, and then Bhav's house. (Here Baba described the crow's

flight from Shirdi to the lady's house at Bandra).I have to fly across walls

and excavations.

77. Mrs. Tendulkar of Bandra daily heaped up garlands of bakul over Baba's

picture in her house at Bandra for two months and then went to Shirdi.Baba :

Hallo, Kaka (H.S. Dixit) these two or three months I have not been at Shirdi at

all. This mother has smothered me with bakul flower and I was quite dizzy, and

unconscious of myself. Now I am slowly coming around.
