'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

May 6, 2006

Fourth Chapter

Baba's assumption of the state of Samadhi for 72 hours (in 1886), and the

aftermath of His condition have been detailed about in this part. He

informed Mahalsapathi while leaving His body-" I am going to see God" and

after entering His body again he proclaimed- "I saw God (Allah)": Seeing,

God and attaining Godliness mean only one thing. His becoming Divine. From

his present physical form, Baba attained the state of Omnipresence with the

blessings of His Guru, Venkusa. After the state of Samadhi, He could see

Parabrahma in His Self as well as in others and became Parabrahma Himself.

He is now Omnipotent. Even now Sai Baba exists at the same place where He

used to live earlier in His physical form.

Lord Sri Krishna observed the wicked Dussasana trying to remove the robes of

Draupadi in the court of Kauravas and prayers I Jraupadi of to protect her,

even though he appeared to be playing the game of dice with his consort

Rukmini. She could not understand the significance of the words of Krishna,

Aksbayamastu, as he threw the dice. (A blessing granting infinite number of

robes). Lord Sri Krishna rescued her at the critical moment.

As Lord Krishna was Omnipresent and Omnipotent he could perform this

miracle. Sai Baba could observe Chandorkar who was suffering from intense

thirst on the hill of Harischandra, while conversing with His devotees at

Shirdi. The people around Him could not grasp the significance of the words

of Baba! "Arre! Nana is suffering from thirst. How shall I let him die!".

Baba in the form of a hunter appeared at the Harischandra hill and advised

Nana to drink the water under the stone he was sitting and soon disappeared.

His devotees like Chandorkar, Upasani Baba, Dad Ganu, Dhumal, Norke, Nachne,

Sathe Kaka Dikshit etc., had] observed and experienced many such incidents

in their lives.

When Kaka Dikshit stood in the presence of Baba in, utter desolation, Baba

assured him saying; "(Kaka! Why do you feel s sad? Are your burdens and

sorrows not mine?".
