DEVOTEES' EXPERIENCES OF SRI SAI BABA BY H.H. NARASIMHA SWAMIJI - PART III

[Guest guest]

the whole sandhya mantra. I got interested in his welfare, and got him taught

Sandhya and Gayatri. I sent him to Broach to worship Siva there, and paid him

Rs. 8 for his fare and expenses. He would worship Siva standing on one leg only

all the time. Then I told him that Shirdi Sai Baba was in realty the embodied

form of God Siva and made him start for Shirdi. At the Broach Railway Station

he learnt that Sai Baba was a moslem and His ex­tremely orthodox and simple

rnind was highly perturbed at the prospect of bowing to a Moslem and he prayed

to me at the station not to send him to Shirdi. I however insisted and gave him

a letter to my father-in-law at Shirdi to introduce him to Baba. When he went to

Shirdi mosque Baba was indignant and would not allow him to go into the mosque.

Kick out that rascal, He cried at the very sight of him and He was also angry

that I should have sent him a man with such hopelessly crude ideas.

Megha then went to Trimbak and worshipped at 'Gangadhwar’ for a year or a year

and a half. Then again he came to Shirdi. This time at the intercession of my

father-in-law he was allowed to go the mosque and stay at Shirdi. Sai Baba's

help to Megha was not through any oral in­struction. He worked upon Megha

internally i.e., mentally. Megha was considerably changed and benefited. When

he died (in 1912) at Shirdi after continuous service of Baba doing regular

daily Arati service, (noon and evening) Baba passed His hands over his corpse

and said ‘This was a true devotee of mine’. Baba ordered that, at His own

expense, the usual funeral dinner to Brahmins should be given and

Bhao Saheb Dixit carried this order out. To Be contd ---DEVOTEES CAN READ
