4th Saying My tomb shall bless and protect my devotees

[Guest guest]

Baba was fond of patience and sensitivity in everybody-Kakasaheb Dikshit displayed

them and offered himself fully at the feet of Baba. As a result he enjoyed the

protection and grace of Baba. Before granting him the full protection, Baba

sent him to Shyama. Later he elevated him to great

spiritual heights after his death. Baba took him to heaven by a flight. He was

granted the abode of Vaikunta (heaven) by the grace

of God.

 

The Samadhi mandir at Shirdi was built

by Booty. Sai Baba specially

blessed him. Blessed are the money and energy of Booty. They are very well utilized. The long established

relationship of Booty with Baba has very well culminated in the construction of

the Mandir for the welfare of all. Once when Booty

was in danger, Baba saved him by giving him by a timely caution.

 

Shree Sai Saranananda was able to

progress in spirituality in all angles. Before meeting Baba, he was an ordinary

materialist. That was completely changed by Baba. By his grace, the reformed

devotee was able to obtain self-realization. He could have divine experiences.

Baba inspired him to write many books. He understood several spiritual secrets

and subtleties by the grace of Baba. Many Gujarati people were brought to

Shirdi by him. Blessed indeed was Shree Sai Saran.

 

Bayajabai was like a sister to Sai Baba. She served Baba and Baba

protected her. She was granted self-realization by Baba. She was lucky to host

Baba in her house and fed him in 1912. Never did she eat without feeding Baba.

She gave him food wherever he was. Baba showered his affections on her son Tatya as well. He treated him as his own nephew. He always

protected him and granted him long life.

 

Tatya was Bayajabai's son. He too was a

great devotee of Baba. Baba loved him and gave him plenty of money. He blessed

him with children. To save him, Baba has sacrificed his own life. It is indeed

unique in the history of any country.

 

Lakshmi Bai Shinde received nine coins symbolically as nine

types of Bhakthi. She experienced ecstatic happiness

as a devotee of Baba. She was highly blessed to have received both the grace

and Protection of Baba.
