DADA KELKAR AND ONION

DADA KELKAR AND ONION

Dada Kelkar, an over zealous Brahmin, abhorred onion and in his

over-zeal objected to visitors and Sathe Wada using onion. He fell foul

on S.B. Nachne's mother-in-law for using it. Then his grand-child had

sore eyes.

DK: Baba, the child has sore eyes. What should I do?

Baba: Use onion for fomenting the eyes.

DK: Where can I go for onion?

Baba: Take it from this mother (pointing to S.B. Nachne's mother-in-law)

S.B. Nachne's Mother-in-law: Baba DK abused me for using onion. So I do

not like to give him anything. If you order it, I will give.

Baba: Give.

Then the lady gave the onion and Baba, through her, humiliated DK for

his intolerant over-asceticism
