43. BABA HELPED SHRI NANASAHEB CHANDORKAR BY PERMITTING HIM BY HIS FATHER TO HAVE BABA AS HIS GURU

[Guest guest]

Sri Nanasaheb Chandorkar got into a fix in certain family matters. His

father Govind Rao Chandorkar was also a Deputy Collector like his son and

stayed in a house built by himself at Kalyan. Lately some unpleasantness had

grown between him and the local musalmans and so he had ordered all the

members of his family to desist from having any connection whatsoever with

musalmans in general. When Nanasaheb happended to return home, he was

informed of what had happened and his father's standing order about having

no musalman connections. Nana was puzzled. He was prepared to give up all

connections with Musalmans, but he was not prepared to disassociate himself

from Baba. If his father took Baba to be a Musalman naturally he would

expect Nana to give up Sai Baba. This embrassed Nana So he spoke to his

father about his connection with Sai Baba. In the meanwhile Baba had already

given proper turn to his father's mind in the matter. So at once he said to

Nana "My Guru is Sakkaram Maharaj" but your Guru is not Sakkaram Maharaj. So

even if Shri Sai Baba may really be a Mohamadan He is your Guru and you may

most willingly continue to Him without the least objection from me". On

hearing this Nana saheb was overjoyed and heartily thanked Baba for the

happy solution of the puzzle he had to face.

Surrender Shri Sai Completely // Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be
