[Guest guest]

26th September, 1936.

DINKAR RAO JAIKER, son of Shyam Rao Jaiker, aged 38, Ville Parle says;

I have been with Sai Baba.

Once when I was in the Masjid with him, there was a severe storm howling,

the wind and rain were fierce.  After a few minutes, Sai Baba stepped on the

edge of the premises and cried out (evidently to the storm) ‘Stop a bit."

Then the storm abated very quickly.

2nd December, 1936.

BHIKUDAI, wife of Bayyaji Patil Kothe, caste Mahrathi, age about 42,

residence Shirdi says:

My parental home is Ahmadnagar. I knew Radhakrishnabai as a friend at Nagar..

She had a photo of Baba and she told me about him there. She was worshipping

him with Arathi etc. She told, me she wanted to go to him. Her paternal

grandfather was a lawyer there. Baba Saheb Ganesh was his name. She resided

with him. I was wedded to one at Sangamner and he died and from there in my

14th year I came here, as Radhakrishna Ayi, my friend was here serving Sai

Baba (1908).

 

Gangagiri Baba of Vanjargaon was performing a huge Nama-Saptha  under  the

tamarind  trees  (near the  Wada).  There was a huge gathering every day and

among many pilgrim groups that came, one was from Sangamner and when that

returned to Sangamner, it brought from my friend R Ayi a photo of Baba, a

lot of Burfi Prasad and an invitation to me to go over to Shirdi and settle

there.  I accepted the invitation and came here without jewels and property.

I then went and saw Baba. He told me to live with R Ayi and be busy serving..

About the end of 1916 i.e.,   1 or 2 months after R. Ayi died, I had gone to

Nagar draw my pension as the widow of a man that died in the war at rupees 6

per month (which I still draw).  On my way back, at Kopergaon, near the

banks of the Godavari, I was reminded of the fate of R. Ayi, who was burnt

there.   My mind was all in a turmoil.   I had brought over my garland to

Shirdi for Baba.  When I went to place it on Baba, he said "I don't want

this garland of mental uneasiness "  He did not receive it. H.S. Dixit

requested him to take it as I had brought it from Ahmadnagar for him with

such great trouble.  I then went near Baba lifting up the garland with both

hands.  Then I neared Baba, the garland somehow snapped into 3 parts; one

was left in each hand and one fell on the floor.  How it got severed like

that I could not discover.   Baba was simply saying "I don't want it."
