Baba appears as or identifies with himself other saints (contd...)

[Guest guest]

Balakrishna

G. Upasani Sastri, (BGU) Professor

of Sanskrit, went to Hardwar

and Tapovan (Swargashram)

and saw a Saint who told him that a saligram held as

an heirloom by the Upasanis for many generations had

been given by him. When asked about his identity, that saint said in Hindustani,

“lo! There was a tree (or log). One came down. The other went up. You

will come to know”. And then he went out of sight.

Many years later, at the end of 1911,

he was going about to trace the whereabouts of his younger brother,

Kasinath now known as Upasani Baba.

He alighted at Kopergaon at the request of the local mamlatdar who sent him to Shirdi. When he went to Baba,

Baba: Go to Khandoba’s

BGU: When I have seen you, Baba, I have

seen all the Gods.

Again Baba: Go to Khandoba’s.

When BGU came out of the Mosque and

mentioned Baba’s order, people told him that Kasinath

Upasani Sastri was at Khandoba’s. thus Baba

without being told, found out BGU’s

relationship and quest. When BGU returned to Baba, Baba spoke in Hindustani the

same words that were spoken by the Sadhu at Tapovan.

“There was a tree (or log). Two

persons were up over that. One came down and the other went up.”

Sai Baba thus showed that He was the Tapovan saint.
