older than myself (in my Guru's line) for me to accept my Guru and get

anugraha. N : What of that ? My Guru is younger than I. His name is 'Doi

Pode' and your Guru's name is Bhagavat. Sri Narsoba promised to show me his

Guru later. Ac­cepting this reminder, I carried out Sai Baba's order and went

to Deopur and

accepted anugraha. I had never met Sri Nar­soba before. Next year, I learnt that

Narsoba was arriving at Bombay. V.T. As his train steamed in and came to a stop,

from his compartment he beckoned to me as I stood amidst a crowd and showed me

his Guru, an eight-year-old youth, Sripad Ramakrishna Doi Pode. Sri Narsoba is

doing "Sudhi" work; I have not met him after 1928. His Guru is still a student

(for Matriculation Exam.) at Guntur (Madras Presi­dency). I will close this

long account with one instance of Baba's response to my prayer for help to

strangers. On 3-12-1923 I was seated in my house at Andheri, facing the road.

One

Mr. Noel was driving his car along that road. A little girl, daughter of Vittal,

was knocked down by the car. As I saw it I prayed, "Baba, save her". The car

stopped, I went down and picked up the child and took her to the hospital. The

stop­ping of the car before the child was crushed was a miracle. The break in

the car was not working. Then on examination it was found, though the break was

not put on, a stone had somehow got into the gear and that was how the car

sud­denly stopped in time. Looking at the injuries to the girl, the

Sub-Assistant Surgeon feared they would prove fatal. But I told him, "Sai Baba

would save her". She continued as an inpatient in the hospital for fifteen days

and she recovered her health; but her power of speech was not restored. That

continued to be her condition for nine months. Then Das Manu came to Andheri

and I told him the facts. He told me to give her Baba's Udhi again for

restoring her speech.

gave her Udhi. The next day she began to speak. This was most marvellous. She

is alive now and speaks very well. Baba kindly gives me opportunities of doing

service to others. In 1926, he appeared to me in a dream and bade me go and

tell Mr- K G Kothare (Bar-at-law) "not to do what he was proposing to do".

Despite the vagueness of the message. I went to him and delivered the message.

He thanked me for it and informed me that it referred to the step he had been

intending to take. He wanted to give up his Grthostasrom and become a Sanyasi.

He gave up the idea, at that time. (Read over and admitted to be correct).
