Sai Baba the Master - By E.Bhardawaj

[Guest guest]

Mrs. P. Sulochana, an old student of the college at Vidyanagar writes:

 

“I come from a village, Mettu, near Vidyanagar. I came to know of Sri

Bharadwaja and his devotion to Sri Sai. So once I visited him along with my

mother. I wished that my mother who was devotional by temperament would

have a chance to listen to him. Incidentally we told him that once we had

the picture of Sri Sai Baba in our shrine and that we later gave it away to

one of our friends. He asked us to get it back, if possible, and worship it

again which would do us good. We did accordingly and started reading the

biography of the saint with devotion.

 

My father was a sceptic who considered all this as mere superstition

though he did not object to our devotions. He was suffering from a strange

ailment. Even if he walked a furlong, his legs would swell and pain so

severely that he could not but weep and roll on the ground. All medical

treatment failed. One day my mother told him of the miraculous cures

effected by Baba and suggested that he should seek His protection. ‘What

shall I lose? If I am cured it is well. Otherwise nothing is lost,’ so

saying he at once vowed to Baba that he would visit Shirdi, if he was

cured. Miraculously, the pain vanished and now he is able of walk any

distance normally.

 

Faith atlast had struck root in his heart and he had ever been praying to

Baba. One night Baba appeared in his dream, showed him a native of our

village and said, ‘This man is about to enter your house for committing

theft. Take care.’ My father atonce woke up, secured all the doors of the

house and slept peacefully. The next morning, the person shown by Baba in

the dream happened to meet him. Just to verify the dream message of Baba,

my father accosted him, ‘Hello! How is it that you were moving about in our

street at midnight?’, pretending to have actually seen him. The man was

stunned, and said, ‘Yes! How did you know? Our calf was not to be seen and

I came in search of it’. The manner of his response clearly showed that it

was a cover up. Baba has thus been ever watchful of our interests”.
