Ambrosia in Shirdi Part-1-Baba's Leelas before 1918

[Guest guest]

There roamed a bull in Shirdi that was dedicated to Lord Shiva. This bull caused

havoc of the village gardens and fields. It grazed wherever it felt like. The

villagers met together and decided to send it to Yeola Pinjrapoli (asylum for

old beasts). Funds were raised and the job of taking the bull to Yeola was

entrusted to Bikku Marwadi. Bikku set out with the bull, but he did not go to

Pinjrapole, but sold the bull to a butcher for Rs.14/-. Upon retur­ning, he

informed the villagers that the bull was left at the Panjrapoli. That night

Baba appeared in the dream of Bayaji Kote and said, "You are enjoying sound

sleep having left Me in the butcher's hand?" The next day Bayaji informed the

villagers of his dream and it was decided that he go to Yeola and rescue the

bull. He went straight to the Pinjrapoli but the bull was not found there. So

he headed right away to the butchers lane and made a diligent search there.He

found the bull with the butcher.He

requested the butcher to return the bull and told him the whole story. The

butcher however, was unwilling to return the bull as he had bought it for Rs.

14/- from Bikku. Bayaji then gave him the money and took the bull to safe

haven. He returned to Shirdi and told the villagers of his actions. They were

quite upset over Bikku's breach of trust, so they prosecuted Bikku who had to

spend two months in jail."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur
