BABA'S HELP FOR A SAFE DELIVERY

[Guest guest]

BABA'S HELP FOR A SAFE DELIVERY:

 

In 1916 before Vijayadasami, Baba had been seriously unwell and the

rumour got

abroad that he was about to die. And the devotees conducted a sapta

at Shirdi with mass feeding for the recovery of his health.

thereafter he recovered; but when Nana Saheb Nimonkar came there, on

his way to Poona"

 

Baba: Nana, you stay here, bury me and then go.

 

Baba would not allow Nana either to go back to Nimon or proceed on to

Poona.

 

Shama intervened on behalf of Nimonkar and asked Baba for leave for

his going away.

 

Baba: Shama, do you want to kill my people. Is Kaka (Nana Nimaonkar)

eating your father's property?

 

Shama: But his daughter-in-law is pregnant and requires help.

 

Baba: (Addressing Nimonkar): Hallo Kaka, why are you anxious? God

will help. Bury me and then go.

 

His daughter-in-law had no help. Suddenly at 10 p.m. one night, she

felt that pains were coming and was at once taken in a tonga to the

Poona Municipal Maternity hospital and left on a bed. The nurse went

away to some other room at 11 p.m. and in the nurse's absence, she

was delivered of a male child without any help. Baba said to Nana

Nimonkar at that time at Shirdi: "There was a woman. She was taken to

a place. There she was delivered safe of a male child."
