May 29, 2007

76. The famous family of Trimbak Dengle had the Jahagirdari19 of Nimgaon. Babasaheb Dengle from that family was dearly loved by Baba. 77. Whenever Baba took a round of Nimgaon, he would go to his home and with great affection spend the day talking with him. 78. He had a younger brother whose name was Nanasaheb. He had no son so he was very dejected. 79. There was no possibility of a child from his first wife. Therefore, he married for the second time. Still fate could not be altered. One cannot fathom destiny! 80. Later Babasaheb sent him

for Sai darshan. And with Sai’s blessings, he received the ‘prasad’ in the form of a son. 81. As time went by, multitudes thronged to have the darshan of Sai. Sai’s fame increased and the news reached Ahmednagar. 82. There, Nana20 moved in the Government circles and

was influential with the officials among whom was Chidambar Keshav, the Secretary to the District Collector, 83. to whom he sent a letter, saying that the great Sai is worthy of darshan; and that he should have darshan bringing along with him his wife, son and family friends. 84. One after another, thus many people started pouring into Shirdi. As Baba’s fame

spread, so also his circle of devotees increased. 85. Although he was not in need of company, he was surrounded by devotees during the day. But after sunset he would retire in the dilapidated Masjid. 86. With chillum, tobacco and a tumbler, he always kept a ‘satka’ near him. He wore a ‘kafni’ reaching upto his ankles and a white piece of cloth round his head. 87. He would tie around his head a white cloth, which was washed, and artistically twisted behind his left ear, like matted locks of hair. 88. Dressed thus, he would go at times without a bath for eight days at a stretch and walked bare-footed. He only sat on the gunny bag cloth. 89. His seat was always a piece of sacking. He did

not know what a bolster was! How could there be any proper bedding or grandeur? 90. During those days that old sack-cloth was his favourite seat. It always remained there for all the twenty-four hours. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
