100. Baba Himself proved that he ever exists even after His Mahasamadhi on

15-10-1918 (Letter from Professor G. G. Narkhe to Shri G. S. Kapharde Dated

5-11 1918).

PROFESSOR SHRI G. G. Narke wrote a letter to Mr. Kapharde stating that he had

been to Shirdi on 2-10-1918 and that Shri Sai Baba was suffering from fever

since 28 9-1918 and he gave up His food from that day. But He has not given up

His begging round. He became very weak and was not able to walk. Mr. Buty and

Mr. Nimonkar used to help Baba in walking, during His round to Lendi Baug and

in His daily begging round. Baba stopped His begging round from 13-10-1918. His

health grew worser and He asked His bhaktas to take their meals in their

residence. Shri Bayaji, Bagoji Shinde, Lakshman, Nanasaheb Nimonkar and

Lakshmibai were present there. Four days, prior to leaving His mortal coil, He

told to one old woman mother of Soni that He was vexed with His stay in

Dwarakamayee and in Chawadi and that He wanted to take His stay in Buty's wada.

His condition grew worser on 15-10-19; 8. He drove away all to their residence

for their meals and He told to Bayaji to place Him in Buty's wada. He asked

Lakshmibai Shinde to come up and gave first Rs. 5/-and then Rs. 4/- in all Rs.

9/- Then Bagoji Shinde told that Baba was in breathing trouble. Nanasaheb

Nimonkar came with water and poured some water in Baba's mouth. But the water

came out. On seeing this Mr. Nimonkar tried out "O Deva" Baba opened His eyes

and wanted to speak, but He was not able to speak and breathed His last on

Bayaji's lap. The next morning i. e. on 16-10-1918, Baba appeared in the dream

of Lakshman Mama and told him "That Jog thought that I was dead and so you come

and do Kakad Arati" After a long discussion about the disposal of the Body, it

was decided to Keep Baba's Body in Buty's wada as per His last word to Bayaji.

Then the samadhi of Shri Sai Baba took place in Buty's wada on 18-10-1918.

Eventhough His mortal coil was made Samadhi, He is still alive and active as

aforesaid and effecting the welfare of His devotees as we read so far Hence,

Surrender Shri Sai Completely I stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be there \\
