DIVINE GRACE – HOLD YOUR FORTUNES SAFELY

Balakistna Ramachandra Khairikar, Brahmin, Vydiki life, aged 70, Khairi (3 miles off Chitale) says:

When I first heard of Sai Baba, it was that he was a mad man. That was 35 years

ago or thereabout. But when everybody began to talk of him and as some of the

Brahmins of Shirdi (eg. Appa Kulkarni) are connected with me, I went to see

him. I was a heredity village officer. The Government dispensed with our

services in 1936. Formerly people used to visit Shirdi along Chitale, Jalgoan,

Rampur, Nathpatlacha, Wadi, Pimpalwadi, and Shirdi route. That road not being

in use is not now to be found.

I saw Baba using water instead of oil for his panthis (lamps).

Deshpande Master of Danderpur was often hearing Baba talk. I know nothing of what Baba said.

Once in 1908, when I went to Baba, a coin a pice I trod upon at the mosque. I

picked it up and delivered it to Baba saying, "Keep this safe. This is your

coin." He returned it to me saying, "That is all right. Take this coin home.

Keep it in your pooja, along with the images you worship. You will have

prosperity. I took it and worshipped it. For three years (i.e), till 1911, I

had prosperity. Formerly, I could not get even rice for a night meal. But after

I started the worship, I save so much from my earnings as Kulkarni, that my wife

could get gold bangles (i.e., wristlets). Then when I travelled and come under

pollution I delivered my study book (Pothi) with the pice in it to a friend and

some days later, I found the pice was lost. Since then (1911) misfortune dogs my

heels. I first lost my wife in six months of losing the coin. In 1916 I lost my

service. In 1917-18, I lost my mother. I am now begging for my food. I visit

Shirdi on each Ramanavami.
