Chapter 29:::

Bhajan troupe from Madras

* A bhajan troupe from Madras,on its way to pilgrimage to North India, came with greed to Shirdi on the hearsay that the saint there gave visitors bountiful of money. But the senior lady in the troupe was honest and saw the vision of Shri Rama in Sai repeatedly in the masjid and went into ecstasy.Her husband disbelieved this as hallucination and ridiculed her.One night he had a dream, which was thus ::' He is in jail and Baba stands outside the prison bars.Suddenly a loud thud is heard and he sees policeman in a pool of blood.. Baba remarks : "Now you are well entrenched in this crime." He weeps and begs Baba to rescue him. Immediately he is out of jail and prostrates before Baba. He says that his earlier prostrations were for money but the present one was on his realization of Baba as God.Then at his request Baba shows him his Guru Ramdas.The man remarks that Baba appears to be old.Baba challenges him to join Him in a race and starts running.Immediately He disappears in

the cloud of dust emanating from his feet.' The dream ended and the man's greedy attitude changed. They stayed for a few more days enjoying the darshan of Baba and completed the rest of the pilgrimage without any hurdle.

* Astrologers told the son of Smt. Tendulkar of Bombay that come what may, he would not get through his examinations that year. Baba assured that he would get through and it happened so.

* The father of the said boy took voluntary retirement with a meager pension of Rs.75.Baba told his wife in a dream that He desired that the pension should be raised to Rs.100.Orders came raising the pension to Rs.110.

* Once Baba appeared in the dream of Captain Hate of Bombay and exclaimed: "Have you forgotten me?" He immediately sent by money order twelve rupees to a friend at Shirdi indicating that ten rupees be spent on vegetables and two rupees for puja items.That day all wondered when Baba ate only vegetables.
