Chapter XXXIX & L

Baba's Knowledge of Sanskrit

His Interpretation of a Verse from Gita - Construction of the Samadhi Mandir.

This chapter (39) deals with Baba's interpretation of a verse from the

Bhagawad-Gita. As some people believed that Baba knew not Sanskrit, and the

interpretation was Nanasaheb Chandorkar's, Hemadpant wrote another chapter (50)

refuting that objection. As the chapter No.50 deals with the same

subject-matter, it is incorporated in this chapter.

Preliminary

Blessed is Shirdi and blessed is Dwarkamayi where Shri Sai lived and moved until

He took Mahasamadhi. Blessed are the people of Shirdi whom He obliged and for

whom He came such long distance. Shirdi was a small village first, but it

attained great importance, on account of His contact and became a Tirtha, holy

place of pilgrimage. Equally blessed are the womenfolk of Shirdi, blessed is

their whole and undivided faith in Him. They sang the glories of Baba while

bathing, grinding, pounding corn and doing other house-hold work. Blessed is

their love, for they sang sweet songs which calm and pacify the minds of the

singers and listeners."Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur

Shakshat ParambramhaTashmai Shri Gurur Veh Namah"May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba

always shower His grace on us and our families and remove our problems and

anxieties by giving us all - strength , goodluck, success and happiness with

peace of mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366
