BABA AVERTS DEATH

In May, June

1917, a Mumbai lady and her younger son sat before Baba at noon Arati.

Baba: Your must

come here exactly at 2 p.m.

Boy: Yes.

Accordingly the

boy was there at 2 p.m. at

the Dwarakamayee.

Baba: Boy, come here. Sit at

my feet on this mat. Be massaging my feet and do not let go my feet till I tell

you.

Accordingly the

boy went on massaging. At 3

p.m. a terrible female figure with wild disheveled hair,

begrimed face and head and a protruding long tongue shot out and moving like a

dog’s jumped over the compound wall and coming near the boy, said:

“I want

this person”.

Baba: I will not

give him.

She: This

exactly is the person I want.

(She then

approached the boy and pulled him. Baba got up enraged and holding the boy with

one hand, kicked her on the breast. She roared and ran away)

Baba: Boy, are

you not attending? Do you know the woman that came; Hello! that

woman wanting you to be given up. But how can I give? I refused.

Boy: When this

was going on, I sat benumbed like a picture. I saw everything, but my body was

inert or stonelike.

(Baba declared

that the female form was the goddess cholera. And the very next morning, Baba

permitted the boy and his mother to go back to Mumbai. Cholera then began to

rage at Shirdi)
