4th Saying My tomb shall bless and protect my devotees

[Guest guest]

Baba was fond of patience and sensitivity in everybody-Kakasaheb Dikshit

displayed them and offered himself fully at the feet of Baba. As a

result he enjoyed the protection and grace of Baba. Before granting him

the full protection, Baba sent him to Shyama. Later he elevated him to

great spiritual heights after his death. Baba took him to heaven by a

flight. He was granted the abode of Vaikunta (heaven) by the grace of

God.

 

The Samadhi mandir at Shirdi was built by Booty. Sai Baba specially

blessed him. Blessed are the money and energy of Booty. They are very

well utilized. The long established relationship of Booty with Baba has

very well culminated in the construction of the Mandir for the welfare

of all. Once when Booty was in danger, Baba saved him by giving him by a

timely caution.

 

Shree Sai Saranananda was able to progress in spirituality in all

angles. Before meeting Baba, he was an ordinary materialist. That was

completely changed by Baba. By his grace, the reformed devotee was able

to obtain self-realization. He could have divine experiences. Baba

inspired him to write many books. He understood several spiritual

secrets and subtleties by the grace of Baba. Many Gujarati people were

brought to Shirdi by him. Blessed indeed was Shree Sai Saran.

 

Bayajabai was like a sister to Sai Baba. She served Baba and Baba

protected her. She was granted self-realization by Baba. She was lucky

to host Baba in her house and fed him in 1912. Never did she eat without

feeding Baba. She gave him food wherever he was. Baba showered his

affections on her son Tatya as well. He treated him as his own nephew.

He always protected him and granted him long life.

 

Tatya was Bayajabai's son. He too was a great devotee of Baba. Baba

loved him and gave him plenty of money. He blessed him with children. To

save him, Baba has sacrificed his own life. It is indeed unique in the

history of any country.

 

Lakshmi Bai Shinde received nine coins symbolically as nine types of

Bhakthi. She experienced ecstatic happiness as a devotee of Baba. She

was highly blessed to have received both the grace and Protection of

Baba.
