The Holy ash of Baba.

[Guest guest]

When Shirdi Baba was in his physical body, he used to sing, "Ramate Ram, Aaoji, Aaoji, Udhiyan ki koniya laoji, laoji". Roughly translated it reads something like this, "Oh playful Rama, come, come, Bring with you bag full of holy ash, the Vibuuthi. Now everybody realises that those accostations belong to Swami's Avatar, who brings out enormous quanity of Vibuthi on several occasions as well as he distributes holy ash to many who comes for his Dharsan from far off places, Those who have witnessed the "Vibuthi Abhishekam" to the silver idol of Shirdi form would vouch for this. In the earlier "Bala Sai" days, he used to go frequently on a transcorporeal journey to save somebody from accidents or to show his Dharsan at the time of their death. During such moments also, enormous quantity of Vibuthi would burst forth from his holy feet or his forehead or mouth.Many have witnessed such materialisations and recorded them for the benefit of future devotees. Every day when He comes along Dharsan lines, he creates Vibuthi and pours on the palm of those fortunate devotees. To a recipient he transmitted the Vibuthi from the Telephone reciever on the other end. Some time, Vibuti would pour forth from the ceiling of the interview room. The Vibuthi thus created will not be the same, some times it will smell with a pungent odour, sometimes with a jasmine smell, sometimes it will taste very bitter, some times sweet etc. Hence the Vibuti Mantra, "Paramam pavitram Baba Vibuthim, Paramam Vichitram Leela Vibuthim, Paramartha Ishtartha Moksha Pradanam, Baba Vibutim Idamastrayami. Sairam.
