[Guest guest]

28. BABA CURED THE DISEASE OF THE FATHER OF SHRI RAMAKRISHNA G. KOTHARE M. A., MAHIM BOMBAY Shri Ramakrishna G. Kothare was born in 1908. His caste was Pathare Prabhu. His father and mother first came to Shirdi in 1911 and they were worshipping the oil paint Photo of Baba (Dwarakamayee Posture). They used to go to Shirdi at least twice a year. Baba used to give Ashirwad to His devotees with Udi by standing at the rails of Dwarakamayee by wearing voilet colour edged Peethambaram. He saw this. He loved Baba

sincerely. His family was full of Sai devotion. After his first visit in 1911, they started with a group of bhajan and Arati performed there daily which was called as Sai Laj. His father fell sick with Nimonea in 1913 and bacame too serious. One Dr. Naik treated him said that his case is serious and got no belief in survival. His mother made a vow to Baba that if her husband cured from death bed, she would come to Shirdi by walk and take darshan of Baba. Besides this, the people of Sai Laj came and did bhajan in the name of Baba before the patient. His uncle also came with his bhajan Mandali and did bhajan and told his sister that his brother-in-law would not die with Nimonea. Doctor Naik came at 10-00 P.M. and gave an injection to the patient and told to all that the patient will live only upto 12 O' clock midnight. Bhagwat Geeta was read out to the patient to hear it. After 11 P.M. the patient began to suffocate and felt hard to breathe. At this time, patient's wife

wailed like any­thing and bawled out "Baba save my husband”. The suffocation lasted till 1 A. M. They told the situation to the doctor. The doctor came and examined the patient and gave one injection and told that crisis was over and now the patient’s status was within his look­out. All the Bhajan went on till 4 AM and all of them told the patient's wife, that Baba has yielded her requ­est and that she should be ready for Shirdi trip on foot. From that time patient improved day by day and cured completely in few months. As per the vow of the patient's wife, patient, patient’s wife and the bhajan Mandal came on foot upto Kopergaom. From Kopargaom all came in 5 carts to Shirdi whereas patie­nt's wife alone followed the cart on foot up to SHIRDI as per her vow. She came to some distance in an uneven stonny and thorny way and felt uneasy with swollen legs and sat below a tree. A man with white beared in shepherd dress straight away came to her and told her that

her vow had been accepted by Baba and that there was no harm in getting into the cart and go over to Shirdi. But she did not accept and came away by foot along upto Shirdi. At that time Baba asked Jog to stop the Arati for a little time. In the mean­while all came to Arati. Baba told to Nanasaheb that I met her on the way and told her to come in cart. But she refused and came by foot. See how her legs, are! They will be alright by the evening. They all stayed at Shirdi and went to their homes with Baba's permission safe and sound.

BABA GAVE EYE SIGHT TO SHRI LAXMAN AVARE THAJANPUR CHEHEDI NEAR SINNER OF NASIK DISTRICT Shri Laxman Abaji Avare, Thajanpur Chehedi near Sinner, Nasik district was suffering from eye pain and water began to ooze from the eyes for about six mon­ths. His eye sight had gone even though medicines were tried. Some one had advised him to go to Shirdi for permanent cure. He came to Shirdi with his mother for Baba's darshan on a Thursday. At that time slabs have been fixed in the "Sabha Mantap" of Dwarakamayee. Son and mother took Baba's darshan. Baba gave them udi and blessed them by saying "Allah Acha Karega" They went to their home. Afterwards the pain and the water in the eyes have been ceased. From that time onwards they used to come to Shirdi on every Thursday for Baba's darshan. Likewise they came to Shirdi for six months. The villagers have insisted his mother and sent him to J.

J. Hospital, Bombay for treatment. At the time when they prepa­red to go to Bombay his body became more or like with burning sensation. Without minding that they went to Bombay. There, an English expert doctor exa­mined his eyes and told that the eyes have been spoiled and that the eye sight was however not possible. They returned to the village and determined whether eyesight comes or not, they have to stay with Baba. Thus they stayed at Shirdi for sometime. His mother after some days left him alone in SHIRDI and went to the village. He stayed in Shirdi with firm belief in Baba. He used to wash his eyes with the face washing water of Baba in the morning. After doing this for one month, all of a

sudden, his eye sight came. When he took Baba's darshan in Chawadi one evening, Baba gently clapped His hands on his chest. From that time his eye became very much clear. He was in Shirdi till Baba's Mahasamadhi. Then Radhakrishnamai requested him to pump the well water, now in Saranjame Baug and also he will do all the work ordered by her. His firm faith and patience towards Baba gave him perma­nent relief from his blindness.
