Ambrosia in Shirdi Part-1-Baba's Leelas before 1918

June 24, 2005

Leela 66

R.B.Purandare was in the railway division of the government. He applied for

leave once, which was accepted and granted along with passes for the journey.

Joyfully, he made all kinds of preparations as he was going to Shirdi to see

his Guru. A day before his departure, his superior officer called him and

requested him to cancel the trip as there was an impending workmen's strike.

Purandare was acutely disappointed. How could he survive this blow?? "I would

rather die, than to cancel my trip to Shirdi. Any other place of visit, I could

do without", he thought. He was adamant to leave as planned, though his officer

had promised to sanction leave later, after the crisis had blown over. That

night, Baba appeared in his dream and angrily said, " Don't

yes"> you dare come to Shirdi tomorrow ." Purandare obeyed and

attended office as usual, the next day. This pleased the officer and the doubt

that he harboured, that Purandare was in league with the strikers also

vanished. A month later, the officer asked him to take leave and go to Shirdi.

When he went to the Dwarkamai, Baba said, " Don't go mad. We have as yet, many

responsibilities to discharge. Stay at home and chant My name. Am I not with

you all the time??""Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur
