Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp- VII

[Guest guest]

121. Baba himself sang the bhajan and the devotees who were sitting around

followed him. They were engrossed in their love for Pandharpur. Just then

Nana arrived.

 

122. He bowed down at his feet23, with his wife and said that Maharaj should

go with them to Pandharpur and settle there undisturbed and without any

worry.

 

123. This invitation was not necessary. Already Baba was in joyous mood;

and people told him24, that he was ready to go to Pandharpur as the bhajan’s

words indicated.

 

124. Nana was extremely surprised and seeing the leela was amazed. He put

his head at his feet and was deeply emotionally moved.

 

125. Taking his blessings, ‘udi’ and ‘prasad’, and bowing again, Chandorkar

set out for Pandharpur, after getting his permission to go.

 

126. If such stories are to be narrated, this book will extend beyond

limits. Therefore, we shall curtail the subject of the warding off of other’

s sufferings.

 

127. Let us end this chapter now because there is no end to Baba’s good

deeds. In the next chapter, I’ll relate some other stories, for my own

well-being.

 

128. I have been unable to eradicate this ego of mine though I’m trying to

do so. Who am I, I cannot understand. Let Sai tell his own stories.

 

129. He will tell of the importance of human life and will tell why he

believed in being a mendicant, of Bayjabai’s devotion and what was his state

of mind during the meals.

 

130. Also, how Baba would sleep in the Masjid together with Mhalsapati and

Tatya Ganpati Kote – listen to that.

 

131. Pant Hemad surrenders to Sai and calls himself an insignificant

devotee, as humble as the slippers on his feet. He obeys Sai’s orders and

has completed the narration upto this point.

May there be well-being! This is the end of the seventh chapter “The

Narration of Various Stories” of Sree Sai Samartha Satcharita, written by

the devotee Hemadpant, impelled by Saints and virtuous people.

This is offered to Sree Sadguru Sainath.

May there be auspiciousness!
