Sai Baba the Master - By E.Bhardawaj

[Guest guest]

Mr.B.Adrishta Rao of Hyderabad records his experiences; “In September 1978,

when I was in a troubled state, one of my colleagues gave me a picture of

Sai Baba. He assured me that I shall be relieved of my problems by merely

keeping it with me. Henceforth, I have been keeping it in my pocket and

thinking of Sai now and then, even though I am a Christian by faith, My wife

agreed that we should burn incense every morning and evening before the

picture and bow to him.

 

In January 1979, my wife was severely ill and there was little hope of her

survival, when I admitted her in the Government hospital. All the four of

our children were young, the youngest being a baby of five months. I prayed

to Sai to save me from the impending calamity. My wife regained her

consciousness the next day and recounted her experience thus: ‘Baba appeared

in by dream. One of my kinsmen who recently died of cancer was trying to

drag me out through the window, holding my head. Baba at once rushed there,

dragged the dark form of my kinsman and threw him in blazing flames. I

appealed to Baba not to be so cruel to him. Baba said, ‘You don’t know

anything. He is solely responsible for all the hardships of your family and

he should be so punished’. Then I requested Baba to be seated. He replied,

‘My child, your husband is hard pressed with attending on your children. So

I shall go there. You need not fear. You will be alright in a few days.’

Indeed, within a few days, she was alright. Henceforth, she started

worshipping Baba with greater zeal. Later, two fakirs wearing kafnis

appeared to her in a dream. When she received them they entered our house

and made the sign of a cross on her breast and went away. Even though she

was cured of her ailment, my wife continued to be weak. The doctor said that

she needed prolonged treatment and it was necessary to take an X-ray picture

of her chest. Reposing trust in Baba’s assurance, we did not give her any

medicines. Still she gradually regained strength.

 

One night, we went on talking about Baba till 11 p.m. I just went to the

bathroom for a minute. During this short interval she dozed and had a dream,

Baba appeared before her and ordered her to follow him. ‘Baba, I am too weak

to walk’ she said. ‘Do not fear. I shall take you along’, said Baba, led her

by the hand upto the threshold and, from there, flew along with here to

Shirdi. There he told her to break a coconut to his samadhi. As she tried to

do so, the priest in mandir objected saying, ‘Get out from here. You are

very dirty.’ Baba said to him, ‘She is my child. You must permit her to

break the coconut’. Accordingly, she was permitted to do so. On the samadhi,

she saw a big plate containing a few small bottles and a white ball of

butter. The samadhi was glorious to look at in the light of colored bulbs.

Then Baba left her back at home before he disappeared. Just then I returned

from the bathroom. She woke up and recounted her vision to me. Baba appeared

in her dream now and then and, eversince, we had no problems.”
