S A I L E E L A

On 20-12-1982, Monday at about 11-00 A. M. two brahmins came to our

house when I had already left the house for attending the college. My

wife Sundari and grand mother were in the house. Grandmother was'

suffering from fever and she could not move. One of the brahmins

inquired about me and told my wife that he knew me and that I used to

give him dakshina regularly whenever he came. She told .him that I was

not in the house and that I had been to the college. Then the brahmin

told her not to bother and asked her to give him some " Upadbana " . She

was told by the house owner's daughter, who was present at that time,

that, they never visited the house before. She went into the house and

told the grandmother of the same. Grandmother asked her to offer

" Upadbana " to the brahmins. Accordingly she offered rice to the

brahmins. Having taken the " Upadhana " they blessed her and went away.

When I came back from the college in the evening, I was told of the

above incident. I was surprised at this as I never offered any dakshina

to any brahmin before. Tears began to shed from my eyes and my joy knew

no bounds remembering that I didn't send money to Shirdi Sai Samsthan

for poor feeding this month. All the while I have been sending Rs. 10/-

for poor feeding. Who else could it be than Sainath that came to our

house and told my wife that I was in the habit of offering dakshina to

Him. I believe it to be Shri Sainath Himself, who came to our house for

reminding me of ''Dakshina " . Shri Sai is omniscient, omnipotent and

omnipresent. In many a way and form He comes and reminds His devotees of

their vow.
