Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 So many incidents in Sai Sat Chatrita proved that Sai is “Sakala Devata Swarupi”, “Sakal Sadhu Swarupi” and “Sakala Jeeva Swarupi”. He is “Para Brahma”. Now let us hear Sai Baba’s words, guaranteeing the welfare of the Bhaktas, ‘there will never be any dearth or scarcity regarding food and clothes in my devotees home. It is my special characteristic that I look always to and provide for the welfare of those devotees, who worship me wholeheartedly with their minds ever fixed on me”. Lord Krishna has also said the same in the Gita. If we think that Baba was a Mohammedan, the best Brahmins, and Agnihotries leaving aside their orthodox ways tell prostrate at His feet. Those who made enquiries about His nationality were dumbfounded and were captured by His Darshan. So none could definitely decide, whether Sai Baba was a Hindu or a Mohammedan. He was always calm and controlled. He knew the inner most secrets of all and when he gave expression to them, all were surprised. Though He had a human body, his deeds were Godly. All people considered Him as Lord God in Shirdi. Even before taking Mahasamadhi, Baba gave nine rupees to Lakshmi Bai Shinde for the selfless service rendered by her. After leaving the body, Nana Saheb brought some water and poured it in Baba’s mouth. It came out. Then he cried out loudly ‘Oh Deva’. Baba seemed just to open His eyes and say “AH” in a low tone. But it soon became evident that Baba had left His body for good. It may be noted here that as observed by Professor Narke, Baba’s body did not get ‘stiff’, though it was exposed for thirty-six hours and that all the limbs were elastic and that His Kafni could be taken out without being torn into pieces. Baba appeared in Lakshman Mama Joshi’s dream and drawing him by His hand, said ‘Get up soon. Bapu Saheb thinks that I am dead and so he won’t come. You do the worship and the Kakad Arti (morning arti)”. Lakshman Mama was the village astrologer and was the maternal uncle of Shama. He was an orthodox Brahmin and daily worshipped Baba in the morning and then all village deities. He had full faith in Baba. After the vision, he came with all the pooja materials and not minding the protest of the Moulvis, did the pooja and Kakad Arti with all due formalities and went away. Then at noon Bapu Saheb Job came with all others, and went through the noon Arti as usual.
