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

[Guest guest]

Leela 94

Moreshwar Pradhan and his wife Chotu Bai were devoted to Baba. In fact his whole

family loved and revered Him. Once his elder son was sick with typhoid. The

fever was relentless and the boy was weak and pale. .Seeing his condition, the

aunt vowed to take the boy to Shirdi, if he recovered. Within 14 days the fever

subsided and four to five days later the boy was allowed to sit in bed. The

aunt, Chotu Bai and the son then set out to go to Shirdi. The doctor advised

them against it. On the way the boy seemed to have a relapse. This frightened

Chotu Bai and her sister. They both feared that if anything untoward happened,

they would be rediculed and laughed at. The aunt who made the vow was extremely

frightened about the consequences.

Nonetheless they reached Kopargaon. There a man asked "Shall I get you a tonga?"

Hearing this the boy said "Have we reached Sai Baba's house? Now help me sit

up'. Overjoyed his aunt laid him on her lap, and they reached Shirdi safely.

They carried the boy for Baba's darshan. Baba held him with both His hands to a

standing position. Quite effortessly the boy stood up, Baba gave him a banana

and a mango that he ate without any problem. Baba said "Well will the world

laugh at you for having brought him here?""Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh
