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

[Guest guest]

Baba sat behind what is now a pillar-like structure at the Lendi in which a

Nanda Deepam or perpetual lamp is kept up. I found generally that Baba sat

behind the Lendi pillar which enclosed the lamp and not in front. From there

the lamp was not visible to Him. I never saw Him gazing at that lamp. I was

the person to do the required service at the Lendi and at other places for

Baba. I used to fill pots with water and place them near Baba at the Lendi

lamp place. He would sit near two such potsful of water; and He would go on

pouring out the water in various directions. What that was for and whether

He would utter any mantra while doing so, I cannot say. Except me none else

was present when He poured out water as stated above.

I do not think that any other Mahammedan except myself was reading Koran or

other Holy books sitting by Baba's side. Baba would occasionally go on

speaking out scared words and I have noted them in this note book. By Baba's

order or permission I have taken all this down. The writing can be read by

you or other devotees. The script is either Devanagari or modi.

(N.B. - Abdul hands over the note book to B.V.N. who finds they are in

Mahrattl language. There are prayers to Maruti in those reports of speeches

of Baba. There are recitals of the Avatars of God dovetailing Mahommed and

numerous others with the Hindu Dasa Avatar. Quite obviously, Sri Sai Baba

and following him Abdul, revere the Hindu Avatars, Maruti etc. and pray to

them).

As stated already I use these books not merely for daily reading but also as

"Sortes Virgiliani" for purposes of prophecy.

No Mussalmans came and read books like Koran and Shariff to Baba or asked

him for explanation. Several Fakirs and Saints came here. But I do not know

if he talked with them on Koran and Shariff. I was busy with activities

(physical) in the service of Baba, sweeping and scavenging all streets here,

and then read Koran etc., near Baba, keeping awake all night. Baba's

practical advice to me was that I should not go to sleep over my Koran

reading. He said "Eat very little. Do not go in for variety of eatables. A

single sort i.e., dish will suffice. Do not sleep much". I followed the

advice. I ate very little. I kept awake all night and in a kneeling posture

was going on repeating the Koran etc., near Baba or meditating. Baba told me

to have Dhyan on what I read. Think of who I am" He said to me.
