Amra-Leela (Mango miracle)

Once a parcel of about 300 good mangoes was received at Shirdi. It was sent from

Goa by one Mamlatdar named Rale to Sai Baba in the name of Shama. When it was

opened, all the mangoes were found to be in a good condition. They were given

in Shama's charge and only four were retained and placed in the kolamba (pot)

by Baba. He said that, "These four fruits are for Damu Anna, let them lie

there".

This Damu Anna had three wives. According to his statement mentioned above, he

had not three but two wives only. He had no issue. He consulted many

astrologers and himself studied astrology to some extent and found that as

there was a 'papi' (inauspicious) planet in his horoscope, there was no

prospect of any issue to him in this life. But he had great faith in Baba. When

he went to Shirdi, two hours after the receipt of the mango parcel, for

worshipping Baba, He said, "Though other people are looking for the mangoes,

they are Dammya's. He whose they are, should 'eat and die'." Damu Anna on

hearing these words was first shocked, but on Mhalsapati (a prominent Shirdi

devotees) explaining to him that death meant the death of the little self or

egos, and to have it at Baba's Feet was a blessing, he said that he would

accept the fruits and eat them. But Baba said to him. "Do not eat yourself, but

give them to your junior wife. This Amra-Leela

(mango miracle of 4 mangoes) will give her four sons and four daughters. This

was done and ultimately in due course it was found Baba's words turned out true

and not those of the astrologers.

Baba's speech established its efficacy or greatness while He was living in the

flesh, but wonder of wonders! It did the same even after His passing away. Baba

said - "Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb will give you hope

and confidence. Not only Myself but My tomb would be speaking, moving and

communicating with those who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me.

Do not be anxious that I would be absent from you. You will hear My bones

speaking and discussing your welfare. But remember Me always, believe in Me

heart and soul and then you will be most benefited."Gurur Brahma Gurur
