Baba's love for his devotees :Part 12: D.M.Mulgy

[Guest guest]

D.M. Mulgy of Gadag was an atheist and did not believe

in Baba nor did he care to see his picture which his

brother worshipped. In 1916, he fell seriously

ill. One night, an old man wearing a long white kafni

and a white cloth tied round his head appeared in his

dream and told him that his fever would pass off soon

if he promised to go for his (the old man’s) darshan.

Mulgy promised to do so and the old man disappeared.

The dream so frightened him that he cried out. His

sister-in-law ran to his bedside, woke him up and, on

hearing of his dream, showed him the picture of Baba.

Mulgy was convinced that Sai Baba himself had

appeared in his dream. The fever subsided and he was

all right in a short time. Later, when he visited

Shirdi, he was struck by Baba’s exact likeness to the

old man that had appeared in his dream.
