Agreat MAkara Sankranthi bless to Megha from SAI( from SAthcharitra.. Chapter XXVIII)

[Guest guest]

Megha of Viramgaon was a simple and illiterate Brahmin cook of Rao Bahadur H. V. Sathe. Ganges-Bath

On

one Makar-Sankranti day, Megha wanted to besmear the body of Baba with

sandal-paste and bathe Him with Ganges water. Baba was first unwilling

to undergo this operation, but at his repeated requests, He consented.

Megha had to traverse a distance of eight koss (going and returning) to

bring the sacred water from the Gomati river. He brought the water,

made all preparations for the bath at noon and asked Baba to get ready

for the same. Then Baba again asked him to be freed from his bath

saying that, as a Fakir He had nothing to do (or gain) with Ganges

water; but Megha did not listen. He knew that Shiva is pleased with a

bath of Ganges water and that he must give his Shiva (Baba) that bath

on that auspicious day. Baba then consented, came down and sat on a pat

(wooden board) and protruding his head said - " Oh Megha, do at least

this favour; head is the most important organ of the body, so pour the

water over that only-it is equivalent to the full or whole bath. "

" Alright " said Megha and lifting the water pot up, began to pour it on

the head but in doing this he was so much overwhelmed with love that he

cried out 'Har Gange' and emptied the pot on the whole body. He kept

the pot aside and began to look at Baba, but to his surprise and

amazement he found that Baba's head was only drenched but the body

quite dry.
