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

[Guest guest]

Leela 46

There is one special characteristic of the pilgrimage to Shirdi. If a pilgrim

returns home without Baba's permission he invites only trouble for himself,

says Hemadpant (Sai Satcharitra Ch.9) nor could the pilgrim stay on if Baba

gave His permission. On the other hand, if a devotee followed the advice of

staying for the required time, or having a meal, though it seemed to be late or

an unnecessary delay, the events proved to be fruitful; danger was averted,

trains were caught and the journey was comfortable. Many such stories are

given in Satcharitra. Here are a few others.

He pestered Baba of and on for permission to go home, during his visit to

Shirdi. This irritated Baba. So He told Baburao Aurangabadkar, "Do whatever

you want. I will not bare any consequences". Aurangabadkar presumed that Baba

had granted him permission to leave. He left in haste. All went well for about

a mile, and then a terrible storm erupted. Thus he was stranded in the middle of

the road, unprotected and at the mercy of the elements. He could proceed only

the next day. After having learnt a lesson of disobeying Baba, Aurangabadkar

could not forget how cold, wet, shivering and hungry he was stranded in the

middle

of nowhere."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur Shakshat

shower His grace on us and our families and remove our problems and anxieties
