Sai Baba the Master

[Guest guest]

Guru Raghunath Maharaj

One Dr. Pandit came along with Dadabhat to the mosque. Usually, except

Mahalsapathy no one else was permitted by Baba to apply sandal plate to

his body. Even Mahalsapathy applied it to Baba’s throat only. But on this

occasion, when Dadabhat was worshipping Baba, Dr. Pandit took sandal paste

from the plate with his fingers and applied it to Baba’s forehead in the

form of the tripundra. Everyone thought that Baba would flare up in rage;

but to the surprise of all he meekly allowed Dr. Pandit to do what no one

else was allowed to do, Baba said, “In me he was visualizing his own guru

Raghunath Maharaj and was worshipping him through me as was his wont. How,

then, could I object to it?” On enquiry Dr. Pandit confirmed Baba’s

statement and was himself thrilled with joy to know that Baba was aware of

his attitude.

 

 

Other Sadhus

In 1908, during the holy chaturmasya (rainy four-month period) Mrs.

Chandrabai Borkar was at Kopergaon. Once, a fakir asked her for garlic

chutney and roti. She said that she does not prepare it during the holy

months and the fakir left. Later, when she visited Shirdi, Sai said,

“You’ve not given me garlic chutney and roti. Why have you come here?” She

replied, “I’ve come to offer it” Baba then said to the others, “She has

been my sister for the last seven births!”
