52. BABA FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF SHRI VASUDEV JANARDHAN, KOPERGAOM

[Guest guest]

Shri Vasudev Janardhan was a census clerk in 1901. Then Shri Nanasaheb

Chandorkar was the census Superintendent. He compelled Vasudev to go over to

Shirdi as he himself going to Shirdi off and on. One day at about 8 A.M

Vasudev, Nanasaheb Chandorkar and about 18 or 20 others have gone to Shirdi

for Baba's darshan. Among them, Vasudev was the youngest one. At that time,

Baba was smoking chillim (Tobacco). As Vasudev was not a smoker, he felt

nothing, but others were eager to get a puff from Baba. But Baba gave the

chillim to Vasudev. He hesitated to smoke the chillim. Nanasaheb Chandorkar

whispered to him to smoke it and that something would happen happy to you.

Afterwards he puffed the chillim thrice. Baba received the chillim from him.

He did not give the chillim to others. After this incident, Vasudev got all

the promotions he desired and retired from service with sufficient pension.

He told that whatever he did in Baba's name, Baba fulfilled it. After

retirement, he started his own business Sadhbai water Supply and he was also

a Managing agent to Belapur Kopargaom Electric Co. Lid. Kopargaom. He told

that all the favours would be only by Baba's grace,

Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be
