Sai Baba the Master - By E.Bhardawaj

[Guest guest]

The Tomb that speaks and moves

D. Sriramulu was in acute financial crisis when his wife was seriously ill

and he had to attend to his young children. Every day he fervently sought

Baba’s help. One morning, as he set out, Sai Baba appeared physically at the

threshold. To make sure, Sriramulu enquired in amazement, “Who are you”?

“What a fool you are! You’ll know it only if you know who you are!”, said

Baba. “Be pleased to dine with us!”, Sriramulu said, “I’ve come for that!”,

the visitor replied and added, “Tell your wife to serve me food!” The poor

housewife got down from the bed and, with great difficulty, served him. When

Sriramulu returned from the bazar with bananas, Baba had left. Within hours,

his wife was quite well! Baba has ever after favoured her with his

blessings. Once she felt sorry for losing a good picture of Sai. That night,

Sai appeared in her dream, threw many of his pictures at her and told her to

pick up whichever she liked and she did. The next morning, a devotee just

returned from Shirdi and presented her with a like one!

 

One evening, Mr. Pathak, the former Court Receiver of Sri Sai Samsthanam,

Shirdi, received an urgent message that 600 devotees were visiting Shirdi

that night. He needed Rs.1,200/- to make boarding arrangements for them but

by that time, the day’s collections of the Samsthan funds were already

deposited in the treasury. When he was worried about it, two villagers

entered his office and said that they wanted to pay Rs.600/- to the office

for feeding devotees. He told them to see him the next morning as the office

was closed and no payments could then be accepted. They said that they were

in a hurry and requested him to accept their money and arrange for the

feeding on the next morning. Mr. Pathak accepted it. One of them mentioned

his name as Shirdikar (i.e., a native of Shirdi). After they went away, Mr.

Pathak remembered that he had not thanked them for their timely contribution

and sent the office-peons to call them, but there were no such anywhere!

Three days later, an old devotee of Baba, Dr. Gawankar, came from Bombay and

said to Mr. Pathak, “Three days ago, I had a dream in which I saw Sai Baba

and Abdul Baba enter your office and give you some money.”
