Devotees Experiences by HH Pujyasri B V Narasimha Swamiji,

Dt: 18th September, 1936.

Shama Rao Jayker, aged 70, painter, Ville Parle, says:

I was at Shirdi in 1916-17 and even earlier, I went and stayed with others. But,

when they left Shirdi, I continued to stay. When I was with others I was getting

money and so Baba asked me for dakshina and I paid. After others left I had no

money. Baba did not ask me for dakshina. Baba knew of my condition without

being told.

When I was boy of 16, Brahmachari gave me Siva Mantra; (i.e.) initiated me into

it. Later, a sanyasi gave me a Sakti Mantra to add to it and form its

compliment. When I went to Baba, I had thus my initiation and my mantra. His

advice to every one is to keep to what he has already his guru, his mantra and

his course jo karita aale techa kara but Baba gave us a lot of fine ethical

teaching (e.g.): Be pure and truthful. Treat all people properly’.

I knew some of the people at Shirdi. I never went to Radhakrishna Ayi, as there

was no need for me to do. I knew Nana Wali. He was dangerous man. Sai Baba

warned me not to move with him. First, I had move with Nana Wali. Dr. Pillai

also had done so. But once he hates Dr. Pillai, and we left Nana. He was not

worshipping Baba, but treated him with some consideration; Baba would beat him

and warn him not to do mischief.

During the eight months of my stay at Shirdi, I heard a lot of goshtis (i.e.)

talks of Baba. But, I do not remember any now. Baba, so far as I know, did not

give any adwaitic teaching to any. People went to him for the most part for

plain matter-of-fact request (e.g.) health, wealth etc., and he dealt with

them.

Baba is looking after me and I am content. I lost two sons. But, he keeps us all

right. It is not for money that we should go to him-though he gives us money

also, when he thinks fit. He used to say that the walls of his Masjid were

really gold. He wanted people to come and take away car loads of that wealth;

and his regret was that none came to take it away.
