[Guest guest]

adherence to truth. I am now joint-treasurer of Baba's Samsthan, After Baba's

demise, He would appear to me and order me to go and stay at Shirdi and attend

to duties, relating to Samsthan. I see and recog­nize His control over me in

all details of what I have to do and am doing. He directed me to co-operate

with Kaka Saheb Dixit (i.e., H.S. Dixit) and told

Kaka Saheb to cooperate with me. We two acted together as intimates. He never

talked to me of Dhyana. He never asked anybody to pray to Him only. "Continue

your usual prayers, be it to Shanker or to Vishnu," He said. He used to give

Darshan to the devotee in that form, e.g., S. or V. or Goddess, whichever the

devotee adored.

me to go to Pandharpur. I did not mention the matter to Baba to get the

necessary permission. Baba Himself broached the subject of going to Pandharpur

and asked her when she was hoping to start. Then Baba gave my wife and mother

Darshan of Himself as Vithoba and Rukmai, at Shirdi Masjid. They were highly

pleased and did not want to go to Pandharpur. He often asked her afterwards

when she would go to Pandhar­pur. She always replied thereafter that her God

was there at Shirdi which was her Pandharpur.

once before her delivery, Baba appeared in a dream and ap­plied Udhi and she got

up and cried, "Baba has come and is applying Udhi fresh and hot from the Dhuni.

My body is burning. So get up." She got alright. Like this, Baba has appeared

several times. When in great difficulty, I always cried before His pic­ture at

home and He would then appear before me at once and comfort me. Nana S.C. told

me of Baba's sending a man with Udhi to help his daughter in her delivery in

ill-health at jamner; that a tongawalla and horses-not sent by him fetched the

messenger and disappeared. That messenger is a Ramgir Gosavi still alive at

Shirdi. Baba used to call him Babugir. Nana's two sons, Babu and Bapu, are at

Kalyan in "Chan-dorkar Wada, Kalyan." A daughter of his is living at Poona.

Nana was proud of his Sanskrit knowledge. Sai Baba asked him to explain, and he

did. Baba corrected him and explained it better. This is mentioned in

(Satcharitra) 2 ch. on that matter: Ch. 31,32, & 33 of "Bhakta Lilamrit" by

D.G.

and I Ch. in "Santa Katamrit" by D.G.; deal with Sai Baba and "Bhavartha

Deepika" by Dabholkar. Sri Sai never talked in my presence about Adwaita, etc.

He said always "Allah will Protect,God protects us all, the poor etc. "

identified Himself with God.
