Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 This ‘Magnet of Shirdi’ knew all yogic practices. Baba’s Dhavti and Khanda yoga were quite unique and extraordinary. When there was an omission in the ‘Pooja’ of Mr. Tarkhad in Bandra, it was brought to the notice of Mrs Tarkhad at Shirdi, I need not explain the wonderful yogic feat about the bedstead, the wooden plank of Baba used to sleep. One evening, there was a terrible storm and all flocked in the Masjid for shelter. No local deity at Shirdi came to his or her rescue. So they prayed to Baba, their God. Then, Baba addressed the storm in a loud thunderous voice, ‘Stop, stop your fury and be calm’. The nature obeyed His command and the people went home well pleased. On another occasion at noon, the fire in the Dhuni began to burn brightly. Its flames were seen to be reaching the rafters above. The people dared not to ask Baba. But Baba soon came to realize what was happening. He took up his ‘Satka’ and dashed against a pillar in front, saying ‘Get down, Be Calm’. At each stroke of the strike, the flames began to lower and slow down and in a few minutes, the Dhuni became calm and normal. This is our Sai, an incarnation of God. He will bless any man, who will prostrate and surrender Himself to Him. This proves Baba’s control over the elements. Baba had all the ‘Ashta Siddhis’ (Eight Powers) at his command. He never practised nor craved for this. They came to him naturally, as a result of His perfection. This Divine Doctor cured His devotees’ diseases with forbidden diet in His own way. Bhimaji Patil’s severe chronic chest disease, Bala Ganpat Shimpi’s malignant type of malaria, Booty’s dysentery and vomiting, Alandi Swamiji’s severe ear pain, Kaka Mahajani’s diarrhoea, fourteen year stomachache of Dattopant of Harda, Shama’s piles complaint, Gangadharpant’s (Kaka Mahajani’s elder brother) many years stomach pain, Nana Saheb Chandorkar’s intense stomach pain are a few example. It goes without saying in the delivery case of ‘Mainatai’, how Baba suffers in attending to the needs and wants, in serving and saving His devotees. In this case Baba manifested Himself as tonga, tonga driver and horses also to save “Mainatai” moved by her unshaken faith.
