BABA AND BLACK MAGIC

Theosophical Lady: (thinks whether Baba’s extraordinary powers are cases of black magic).

[baba’s powers were not acquired one after another by dint of repeating

mantras and going through rites intended for such acquisition. His powers were

part of his nature, as developed by the Guru’s grace, after a course of

prolonged and intense love and devotion to the Guru-God.

Srimad Bhagavata, V(5) 35, where the saint Rishaba in proceeding with his

blissful God realization, i.e., realization of Vasudeva, as God external to

himself and as his self, developed, siddhis such as (1) Duragrahana –

seeing things happening at any distance, (2) Antardhana – sudden

appearance and disappearances, 352, 532 (3) Manojava – quick flash of

thoughts, achieving all feats of intellect or reason-intuition intensified, 406

(4) Parakayapravesa – entering other bodies living or dead, 321 (5)

Vaihayasa – travelling with a physical body through air, despite

obstructions like walls etc.,]

Baba: Black! This is a Brahmin, a pure Brahmin, a white Brahmin. He will lead

thousands on to the Subbra Marga, i.e., white or pure path (to God). No (Black)

Kala Yavana can put his foot here

## A man of parwani was the victim of Black Magic. Food looked like hair, and

smelt like dung. His articles caught fire spontaneously. he tried poojas and

professional mantrics in vain. He came to Shirdi. Baba blessed him. the Black

Magic was destroyed.

## Hansraj was said to be afflicted with an evil spirit.

He came to Baba.

Baba (slapping him): Evil spirit! Be off.

Hansraj had no more evil spirit and his Asthma (chronic) also left him by staying with Baba.

## Mrs. Tipnis was possessed and was brought to Shirdi. The evil spirit

gradually left her while at Shirdi by Baba’s blessing.
