Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 PRAYER SAVED THE CHILD Somnath Nimonkar (Nana Saheb Nimonkar’s son) left plague-stricken Pune for his native place Nimon during the Christmas vacation in 1917. He took his first son Gopal, aged three years, with him and on the way halted at Shirdi. When they later sought his leave to proceed Nimon, Baba gave udhi to Somnath and said, "Go and save the child!" Somnath took it for a casual blessing to his son and so gave some udhi to Gopal and started for Nimon. But when he reached home he realised the true significance of Baba’s words. His brother’s twelve day baby was in a critical condition. And Somnath discovered, to his despair, that he had lost the udhi that Baba gave him. So taking the child in his lap, he fervently prayed to Baba and in fifteen minutes the child started recovering. SAI MERGED WITH KHANDOBA Once Sri Marthand, the son of Mahlsapathy, was seated at the threshold of Khandoba’s temple. Baba came there and Marthand reverently stood up. But quite astonishingly, even before his very eyes, Baba appeared smiling and walked towards the idol of Khandoba and merged in it. In amazement Marthand peeped behind the idol, but there was none there. While he looked in panic Baba again walked out of the idol and left the temple, smiling at him. Henceforth, Marthand took it that Baba wanted him to worship the idol as Baba’s form and so he did till the last. (Written by: Pujya Acharya E.
