Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Dr. Jaganath Vithal Pandit Geminis (DR.PANDIT) Dr. Pandit was related to Tatya Saheb Nulkar on his mother’s side. He was devoted to Kaka Puranik. In SaiSatcharita # 11 the story of Dr Pandit is beautifully described where he offers Guru Puja to Baba by marking His forehead with a Tripunda of sandal wood paste. As this was the puja, he offered his Guru Kaka Puranik. Pandit was devout and innocent. His action conveys the highest truth that there is no difference between his brahmin Guru and the Kafni-clad Sai Baba. And Baba perceiving his clear conscience was quite pleased rather than flying into a rage. Dr. Pandit hailed from Kolapur [Ratnagiri district] and was a medical doctor. He studied in a medical college in Calcutta. His descendents are living in Pune. The ‘Tripunda;’ is symbolic of the ‘gunas’ [Raja; Tama and Satva] of which the universe is made of. When Dr. Pandit drew the Tripunda on his Guru’s forehead, he believed that his Guru could destroy these gunas. Befittingly he drew the Tripunda on Baba’s forehead which symbolizes “Triputi Nashak’. Baba could easily destroy these gunas. (Source Sai Leela Magazine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
