Mahadu Phasale

[Guest guest]

Mahadu Phasale was an old Sevekari of Baba. His real name was 'Madhav', but in Shirdi he was known as 'Mahadu'. Since his childhood, he developed an attraction towards Baba. As a young man, he served and stayed with Baba. From morning till night, he was always ever willing to serve Baba.He used to do a lot of chores - sweeping the Masjid, cleaning the mat on which Baba sat, fill up water in the tub kep near the steps, draw lukewarm water for Baba's bath, anxiously wait for Baba to finish His bath and then wipe His body, clean the Hundis (lamps), kept in

theMasjid and Chavadi, help Abdul Baba in lightning up the lamps, look after Baba's horse, etc.There was a room, adjoining the Dhuni, which was used for storing firewood. Baba had with His own hands constructed almost three-fourths ofone wall of that room. At that time, Mahadu had assisted Baba by makingmixture of mud. Baba had stacked the bricks and then plastered the wall with the mud.At the time of Baba's mortal end, Mahadu handed over the Chillum and Staka, used by Baba, to Bapusaheb Jog. Bapusaheb had kept both these articles in his Pooja Ghar. Later on, when Bapusaheb shifted his residence to Upasani Ashram at Sakori, he took these sacred articleswith him. In due course of time, these articles have been preserved in the Sai Sansthan, Shirdi.This is a story of 1936. Baba's Muslim devotee Chhotekhan and Mahadu Phasale were sleeping in the Masjid. Chhotekhan heard Baba's voice saying, "Are Mahadu, get up! I have to pass urine". But, Mahadu was fast asleep and could not

get up. Next day morning, it was observed that at the palce, where Baba used to sit, there was a poodle of water and a sweet fragrance was emanating from it.--Posted By Hetal Patil to Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories at 4/15/2008 01:13:00 PM Sai Nathay Arpanastu Anant Koti Brahmand Nayak Raja Dhi Raj Yogi Raj Para Brahma Shri Sachidanand Sadguru Sai Nath Maharaj Ki Jai!!!
