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

[Guest guest]

Leela 67

Baba asked Purandare to build a house, for himself and his family, at his own

expense. Purandare, with great difficulty, bought land in the desolate Bandra

suburb. He started construction, but was plagued by severe headaches. Unable to

bear it anymore, he wrote to Baba, pleading that, instead of giving him such

unbearable pain, He had better put and end to his life. This letter he gave Dr.

Pillai, with the request to give it to Baba. Upon the receipt of the letter,

Baba's heart melted and He sent some Udi and snuff like powder in a small

packet. He asked Purandare to inhale it, and Purandare did just that and the

headache was gone. A few days later, he wrote to Baba, asking Him when he

should do 'Gruha-Pravesh'. Baba replied, " You may perform 'Gruha - Pravesh' on

Thursday. I too will come along with you."

So, on Thursday, Purandare made 'naivedya' for Baba. Then with Baba's photograph

clasped to his chest, he proceeded to the house. Being rather poor, he couldn't

have an elaborate 'Pooja' and riuals. As long as Baba's photograph was there

first with naivedya, everything would go well, he thought. To his surprise, as

he was walking past the Datta Mandir, he saw Baba there. Baba accompanied him

to the new house, till Purandare reverentially placed Baba's photograph on as

'aasan' and then vanished."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur
