BABA AGAINST UNNECESSARY FAST

[Guest guest]

BABA AGAINST UNNECESSARY FAST

One Mrs. Gokhale wished to visit Shirdi for the Simgha holiday and to

fast there while staying at Shirdi as the guests of Data Kelkar.

Baba. (to Dada Kelkar): Will my children fast during Simgha festival?

I cannot permit that.

Next day the lady turned up at Shirdi and sat before Baba.

Baba. (himself mooting the subject): Why should we fast? Go to Dada

Kelkars, prepare Pooran Poli, eat it and give it to all in the family.

Mrs. Gokhale went back to Dada's found Mrs. Dada was in her period and

therefore she, though a guest, had to do the cooking. She prepared

Pooran Poli and ate it as directed by Baba.
