Baba's Holi Meal in Hemadpant's House--

On

Holi festival in 1917, Baba appeared in the dream of Hemadpant at his

house in Bandra and told him that he would be coming to his house to

participate in the Holi meal. Hemadpant told his wife about the dream

and asked her to prepare food for one more person. The festivities of

Holi were over. Arrangements were made for serving the meal. They

reserved a seat for Baba. All the members of the family sat down for

the meal. After offerings were made to God, ghee was served; they were

about to start eating, when someone knocked the door. Hemadpant opened

the door and found two persons standing there. They handed over to him

a photo of Shirdi Sai Baba with a request to keep it safely. They asked

him to finish his meals first and then they could discuss the details

about the photo later on; they left the place. Hemadpant was

surprised at the arrival of Baba in the form of photo, exactly at meal

time. He shed tears of joy. He felt happy that what Baba had told him

in the dream had come true in this manner. He immediately put the photo

in the place set apart for Baba. All the food items were kept before

the photo and only after offering them to Baba, did the others eat. The

same day at the same time Baba told Shama at Shirdi that he had a

sumptuous meal at Bandra in Hemadpant's house. Shama could understand

Baba's words only after sometime when Hemadpant went to Shirdi. Now let

us see how the photo was delivered at Hemadpant's house. A

long time back, a saint by name Abdul Rehman gave a lifesize framed

photo of Baba to Ali Mohammed. After sometime, Ali's brother-in-law

fell sick. Someone said that if the photos of saints were put in the

sea, the illness would subside. So he sent for this manager and asked

him to collect all such photos in his house and also in the houses of

relatives and put them in the sea. After some days Ali Mohammed came

home and was surprised to find that Baba's photo was still there in the

wall. He began to think to whom it should be given. As per Baba's order

given to him through his thoughts, the photo was handed over to

Hemadpant.

The photo received by Hemadpanth on HOLI DAY in 1917-- -- Arise Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached.
