Sai Satcharitra-Let us all read it together, a little everyday

Burhanpore Lady

Now let us turn to another sparrow (Baba's word meaning devotee). One lady in

Burhanpore saw in her dream Sai Baba coming to her door and begging khichadi

(rice cooked with dal and salt) for His meals. On awakening she saw no body at

her door. However, she was pleased with the vision and told it to all including

her husband. He was employed in the Postal Department and when he was

transferred to Akola, both husband and wife, who were devout, decided to go to

Shirdi. Then on a suitable day they left for Shirdi and after visiting Gomati

Tirth on the way, reached Shirdi and stayed there for two months. Every day

they went to the Masjid, performed Baba's worship and passed their time

happily. The couple came to Shirdi to offer Khichadi as naivedya but for the

first 14 days, somehow or other, it could not be offered. The lady did not like

this delay. Then on the 15th day she came at noon to the

Masjid with her khichadi. There she found that Baba and others were already

sitting for meals, and that the curtain was down. Nobody dared enter in when

the curtain was let down, but the lady could not wait. She threw up the curtain

with her hand and entered. Strange to say that Baba seemed that day, hungry for

khichadi and wanted that thing first and when the lady came in with the dish,

Baba was delighted, and began to eat morsel after morsel of khichadi. On seeing

the earnestness of Baba in this respect, everybody was wonderstruck and those,

who heard the story of khichadi, were convinced about His extraordinary love

for His devotees."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur Shakshat

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

by giving us all - strength , goodluck, success and happiness with peace of

mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366
