DEVOTEES EXPERIENCES by HH Pujyasri B V Narasimha Swamiji.

FORTUNATE TO LISTEN MUSIC FROM SAMADHI

Sri Nageshwar Atmaram Samant, Police Sub-Inspector, Bombay says:

About 1926, I came with my wife and eldest son Manohar, then 2 years old to

Shirdi. After Punyathithi, I went to Poona to see Baba Jan. I kept Rs.2 in my

inside pocket when nearing Poona and had no other change. I thought Rs.2

sufficient to go from Poona station to Lashkar to see Baba Jan. I engaged a

Victoria (to and fro) for Rs. 1-8-0. When I went to Baba, I bought a flower

garland for 4 or 6 annas and I paid for fakirs, tea and bread 1-4-0. After I

returned to the station, I paid the Victoria man 1-8-0 and got into train. I

put my hand into my pocket casually and I found Rs.2 thought I spend more than

Rs.3. I had some notes in other pockets, which I did not change. I wondered how

the Rs.2 multiplied so far. I did not think about the phenomenon when paying for

the fakir’s tea, flowers and Victoria hire. This is the first time I took out a

specific sum and set it apart for expenditure.

In 1931 or 32, I had received summons to attend a criminal case at Chalisgaon

before the Mumlatdar. I attended. But, as the case was adjourned, I requested

the court to allow me to attend on the adjourned date about 1.30 p.m. after a

month I received summons in the case. On the way, I visited Shirdi, having

started on the day previous to the case hearing. Next morning, I left Shirdi to

go to Chalisgaon by the morning train (by which I had travelled for Bombay).

But, the bus being late, I reached Kopergaon town about 10.15 a.m. whereas the

train leaves Kopergaon station about 10.30. There was no tonga there. I was in

plain clothes and not known there. The buses refused to take me to the station.

I prayed to Baba in my mind to help me. Suddenly, some one cried out "Foujdar

Sahib". I looked to see who called. Then a Policeman enquired if I was a

Foujdar. I said I was. Then, he ordered a bus to take me to the station and

that bus took me in time to catch the train and be

at Chalisgaon for the trial. If I had missed the attendance at court, that would

have been the course of much trouble.

In March 1929, I went on two months sick leave for a change and went home. For a

fortnight, I was alright. After that my father went to catch fish against my

repeated requests. I felt very sorry for what he did. I felt that we were

acting against Baba’s wishes. My father brought home first some of them alive.

I told my mother that killing fish was improper. By that time, I had suddenly

got fever. I told her that she was anxious about the health of her only son,

(i.e. myself), but cruel to the children of fishes and that if she wanted her

child not to die, they should stop killing fish. My father then came near me,

applied Baba’s udhi to me and prayed Baba; "If my son is alright by tomorrow

morning, I will give up eating fish." In five minutes, my temperature came down

and was alright.

About 1931, I occupied an upper storey room of Nawalkarwada. The walls had

cracked on several places, scorpions abounded and there was great danger of the

walls coming down suddenly. Just then, R.A. Tarkhad had found it dangerous and

left. He warned me. But I had no other place to stay and in the two days of my

stay there at Ramanavami, nothing happened. I left it then and went to Bombay

and I got a letter that the walls had collapsed shortly after I left.

Some years back, a scorpion was in my cap at Shirdi. Did not notice it but put

it on at Shirdi and when I got it off my head At Bombay (some 12 hours after my

start), I saw the scorpion inside just as I was going to place it on the peg. It

had not hurt me all the time I wore the cap. A few years back, I slept in a room

adjoining Baba’s samadhi, I found about the middle of the night music coming

from the samadhi, I could not explain.
