LIVE EXPRIENCES OF THE TARKHAD FAMILY WITH SHRI SAI BABA OF SHIRDI -4

[Guest guest]

Frightful Sight of Goddess MariAai

"Om Shri Sainathaya Namaha."

Dear Sai devotee readers, we are passing through the 21st Century and hence I

have a humble request to make to all of you to believe in this experience of

Jyotindra which I will be narrating to you shortly. Those who have read Shri

Sai Satcharitra would know that once there was an epidemic of Cholera in

Shirdi. Village people believed that you have to pray to Goddess 'MariAai' when

such an epidemic is widespread, inorder to keep the deaths under control. Off

course in those days the medical aids were not forthcoming and advanced like

today and epidemics were a common phenomenon in Indian villages. Also the

communication system was not that developed and as a result of which when my

father reached Shirdi he was not aware that there was Cholera epidemic in

Shirdi. Offcourse he had by then developed great faith in Baba and he knew that

Baba will take care of him and as such if it is too dangerous to stay then Baba

would instantly direct him to return

to Mumbai. He therefore was unafraid and performed his rituals as usual. In the

next two to three days he experienced that the death toll was on the increase

and Cholera was increasing into menacing proportion in the villages around

Shirdi. He was internally frightened. One evening, as per his ritual, he

lighted the Petromax lamps and was placing them in Dwarkamai. No sooner had he

climbed the steps where Baba used to normally sit in front of the Dhuni than

Baba got angry on him. He started abusing him. This was a new experience for

Jyotindra. Baba's anger was reaching high peak. In rage he told my father that

he will cut him into seven pieces and burry him in the Masjid. Jyotindra was

very scared. He fell at Baba's feet and started pleading to be pardoned because

he thought he might have inadvertently made some mistake, which aroused anger in

Baba. Then in the same mood Baba ordered him to sit there and press his legs. My

father instantly obeyed his orders and was seated at his

feet pressing his legs. He noticed that Baba was still murmuring something and

continued to be in the angry mood he was in. After a little while Jyotindra

started perspiring because he was seeing in front of him the Goddess Kali in

that terrifying pose. Her menacing posture and blood soaked tongue. On seeing

this sight my father lost his senses completely. Automatically he held on to

Baba's legs with all his might and strength in his body. He was trying to

convey to Baba to save him from this, but the fright was so deep that words

could not come out He became speechless. His face was only turning in two

directions from Baba to Kali and vice-versa. He was seeing Baba uttering

something but was unable to hear and comprehend. In no time he felt

unconscious. When he woke up he realized that Baba was shaking him and asking

him to wake up. He regained his consciousness and was drenched in sweat. Baba

was telling him that "Hey Bhau I told you to press my legs but you are holding

them so

tight that your nails are hurting me." My father was very thirsty and he asked

for some water. Baba gave him some water from the earthen pot (Kolamba) which

used to be there in Dwarkamai. My father drank the water and he reached the NTP

(Normal Temperature and Pressure) condition. He instantly told Baba not to show

him such dreadful sights because he did not have the strength to withstand

them. He told him that for the next four days he may not be able to gulp food

and he would have to rethink whether he should come to Shirdi or not. Then Baba

asked him "Hey Bhau please tell me what exactly did you see?" Then my father

narrated the whole incident which was still a fresh in his memory. He asked

Baba that "You were murmuring something with that dreadful person but I could

not hear anything as I fell unconscious." Baba replied "Hey Bhau that dreadful

person you are referring to was none Aai.'' She was asking for your soul and I

was declining. She was refusing to go away, then I told

her you may take five more people but I will not part with my Bhau. Finally she

gave up and left Dwarkamai." Baba went on to say "Bhau please remember I do not

bring you to Shirdi to die and when you are at my feet nobody can snatch you

away from me." For my father it was like he had taken rebirth. He fell at

Baba's feet and once again pleaded not to show such dreadful sights as it is

beyond his ability to withstand. Whenever my father used to narrate this

incident he used to say that very remembrance of that sight would give him a

sleepless night.

Dear Sai devotee readers after going through this episode I am sure many of you

may have some doubts and would like to seek some clarification but as said in

the beginning please believe it. Shirdi SaiBaba was nothing but Lord

Incarnation and therefore he possessed those supernatural powers which when

required he utilized to save 's devotee. I am sure there must be ample number

of people who must have undergone such life saving experiences. Baba use to

declare that it is his ardent duty to protect his devotee from evil effect. "

He told my father "Bhau after my bodily departure from Shirdi people will come

like ants to Shirdi and please remember I do not utter lies while speaking from

this Dwarkamai"

Dear readers in this 21st century we all are seeing and experiencing what has

transpired in Shirdi and I am sure this will go on till the end of this world.
