Om Sai Ram!!!

Wada became ready and seeing it, BABA told Shama" See now, how beautiful is our Wada now? I feel to take rest here now itself." Butti who was also present there replied to BABA," Yes BABA, Yoy may come and stay here now itself."

BABA had replied," I am just joking. You all have made me MADHAV from MANAV and that is your greatness. I got everything from you people. Behave the same way with other creatures. See MADHAV in all beings and then I will be rewarded and honored. And that will be the real worship of Me.'

Jai Sai Ram!!!

OM SRI SAINATHAYA NAMAH:

Why did BABA chosen Dassera only for His Samadhi?

Because it was one out of the three and half auspicious days in the year( when there is no need to find out the 'muhurat or auspicious time.) All know very well that an auspicious time for departure is valued or chosen.

One who is beyond birth and death, how could there be a departure for Him or the necessity of an auspicious time for it? One who is not bound by religion or otherwise; one who has control over all attachments ; one who has no ascending of His vital life force- What is Niryana for Him?

The body is a loan taken from five elements. Once its task is accompolished, it returns to the same elements. BABA had given indications of what was to happen in a marvellous way. The precious time has passed but the glory remains.

Getting fever was a pretext. Imitating ordinary people, He moaned and groaned at times. But within, He was always alert nd conscious. After 9.30or 10 in the morning, when the time of Niryan came near, He sat up by Himself, fully conscious. Seeing BABA in such a condition, the sea of hope rose in the hearts of the people. All felt that the dangerous or evil time had passed. So all sat dejected and worried in this way , the time for BABA's Niryan came near.

Where there were only a few moments left for Niryan, none knew what was in His mind. He put His hand in the pocket of the kafni knowing that it was the right time for charity.

A greatly virtuous woman, named Lakshmi , whose deeds matched her name, who was always devoted at Sai's feet , was near Him at that time.BABA, very cautiously , donated some money to her since BABA had realized that His Niryan was imminent. Though He was on the verge of breathing His last and the body was slackened and weak, BABA with His own hands gave a donation to her, at the time of passing away.

Taking out from the pocket once five and then four rupees, He placed them on her hands. This was the last act of BABA.

Was it indicative of the nine types of devotion, or was it because of the worship of Ambika at Navrathra had been completed and it was the Seemolanghan? Was it the dakshina of Seemolanghan? Or was BABA giving a reminder of the nine good qualities required of a disciple as told by Sri Krishna to Uddhava of the Shrimad Bhagavat?

MAY BABA BLESS ALL...

Saints are fully aware of their time of death. Till they are in body, they weary their bodies for their devotees with great love and at the end the place where the body is abandoned is utilized for the benefit of their devotees.

Some have their Samadhi built before leaving the body, so that their body may certainly find quietude at that place.

That is how BABA acted, But no one realized it earlier. He got the Samadhi Mandir built in an unique way.

There was a very rich man of Nagpur, called Bapusaheb Butti. BABA got the edifice raised by him.

Bapusaheb was a great devotee of and attached to the feet of BABA. He came often with with his family and stayed at Shirdi to serve Him.

He felt like buying a small plot of land and constructing a small building to stay there independently.

This was how the original seed was sown from which the tree in the form of the temple stands today. This is the visible monument of SAI MAHARAJ'S love for the benefit of His devotees.

When Bapusaheb was sleeping once, on the first floor of Dixit Wada, he got this idea while seeing a wonderful vision.

There itself, where Madhavrao was sleeping on one of the beds, he also had the same vision. Both were very surprised.

In Bapusaheb's vision BABA was commanding him:"You should build your own Wada certainly, with a Mandir within it."

No sooner than the vision ended, Bapusaheb awakened. Sitting on the bed, he began to recall the whole dream.

While he was thus occupied, he heard Madhavrao weeping. Butti loudly called out to him:"Wake up" and this made him fully awake.Butti had asked Madhavrao the reason for weeping and Madhavrao replied. BABA came near me and gave me an explicit order," Let there be a Wada with a temple. It will fulfill desires of all".

Bapusaheb was left wondering why both had the same vision. He no longer had any doubts. He decided to act upon it.

They discussed it with Kaka( Dixit) and the three jointly prepared a plan and put up to BABA for approval.BABA immediately gave His permission to build the house with the temple.

Madhavrao got ready to supervise the work. The basement and the ground floor got ready. Even the well was ready under his direction.

On His way to and from the Lendi, while the doors and windows were being fixed, BABA watched with interest and eagerness. He would say, " A door should be here; a window there. Here, to the east , have a gallery. It will look nice."

As the work was progressing, Butti got an inspiration that in the innermost space of the building he could instal the image of Muralidhar(Lord Krishna). He told Madhavrao to seek permission from BABA for the same.

BABA happily gave His consent and told" After the temple is completed, we will come and live there."

Gazing at the Wada, BABA spoke very sweetly:" After the Wada is completed , we shall use it for ourselves. We shall be together there; there itself, we shall all play and embrace each other lovingly and enjoy a time of plenty happily."

The central hall was completed and also the square platform for Muralidhar. The statue was also entrusted to be made by a sculptor.

Later, there came a time when BABA became seriously ill and death became imminent. The devotees were greatly anxious.

Bapusaheb was miserable about the future of the Wada. He did not know what would happen and was, disturbed. Henceforth would BABA's feet touch this temple? When BABA is no more, why should there be Muralidhar or a temple?

Later, because of good fortune, when the end came, due to BABA's orders, the Wada had a great destiny and all were pleased.

" Place me in Wada." These words of BABA at the time of passing away,when they were uttered by BABA brought great relief to all.

Then the Holy remains of BABA's body rested finally in the central hall. The Wada became the Samadhi Mandir. Unfathomable is BABA's life.

In the last moments one should be alert about attaining salvation.There should be peace and solitude, the chosen deity's image should be fixed in the mind without any distraction. " One is reborn according to one's last thoughts" is the well-known axiom. Saints themselves practice this to maintain the prevalent custom.

When there was only fourteen days left for BABA's passing away, BABA appointed Mr-Vaze Sat to read 'Ramvijay'.

Vaze Sat in the Masjid and began the reading of the holy book. BABA began to listen to it. Thus eight days passed.

Then BABA ordered that the book be read without a break. So Vaze read it in this manner, for three days and nights.

He sat for full eleven days . Later he was tired and felt weak. He was exhausted with the reading . In this way three more days passed.

So what did BABA do later? He stopped reading. He sent Vaze away from there and kept quiet Himself.

It is the practice of Saints, Sages and wise people to listen to religious books, when the time for the passing away is near.

Acharya Shuka recounted the Maha Bhagavat in seven days to King Parikshit , who heard it and attained death happily.

While listening to the Leelas of the Lord and keeping the image of the Lord before one's eyes , if one passes away then one attains the ultimate goal.

Here BABA also did the same thing~

Since many years , BABA had an old BRICK, on which He rested His hand, and sat in yogic posture.

At night, in solitude, He regularly took the support of the BRICK and BABA sat in yogic posture, quietly in the Masjid.

This practice had gone on for quite a few years without disruption, and without any problem. But fate is not governed by any rules , and unexpectedly they are broken.

When BABA was not in the Masjid, a young boy was sweeping . With the intention of cleaning the dirt underneath it, he picked up the BRICK a little.

The time had come for it to break. The BRICK slipped from the boy's hand. It fell down with a bang and broke into pieces.

Hearing of it, BABA said, :" It is not the BRICK but my fate that has broken into pieces. " Saying this, He was very distressed and tears of sorrow sprang from His eyes,.

This BRICK, which was with Him since several years was of long standing, and was the main support for His yogic posture. When it was suddenly broken it seemed to make the Masjid desolate for Him.

BABA had said" In whose company I meditated and was dearer to Me than life, that companion of Mine is broken. I also will not remain without it."

The Patil of Shirdi, Ramachandea Dada, fell very ill once. He could not bear the pain , which was beyond endurance. No remedy was left untried yet the pain did not subside. He felt tired of life. Patil felt greatly worried.
When he was in this mental state, one midnight, suddenly BABA appeared at the head of his bed.
Then Patil clasped His feet and in desperation said to
BABA:"When will death come to me? Tell me only that please. Now I am tired of life. nor I am afraid of death. I am only waiting for death to come to me."

Then BABA, the embodoment of mercy said:"Do not worry . Your fear of danger to life has been averted. Why do you unnecessarily worry? You have nothing to fear. Your death warrant has been sent back. But, Ramchandra, I do not see a chance of safety for Tatya.

In Shaka eighteen hundred and forty, when the sun is apparently moving from north to south, in the month of Ashwin, on Vijaydashami day, in the brighter half of the month, Tatya will attain heavenly bliss. But do not tell him that, otherwise he will take fright and paon away day and night. No one likes death."

Only two years remained and Tatya's time was drawing near. Ramchandra became anxious as BABA's words were always true and like a thunderbolt.

This prediction was kept a secret from Tatya but he confided it to Bala Shimpi, with an earnest request not to reveal it to anyone. Both of them were now worried about it.

Since then, really, Ramchandra Patil recovered; and left his bed. One day passed off after another and time slipped away un-noticed.

The truth of BABA's words is amazing! The month of Bhadrapad of 1840 Shaka was over and the month of Ashwin peeped in. Tatya became ill and was confined to bed.

On the one hand, Tatya was ill with fever (at home) and on the other, BABA was shivering. Tatya had full faith in BABA and BABA'S protector was the Lord.

Tatya was unable to leave his bed and come for BABA'S darshan.Immense was his physical suffering which he was unable to bear.

Though he was himself distressed with his suffering, his mind was attached to BABA. He could not move or stir and his suffering increased.

On the other hand, BABA'S moaning and wailing increased twice as much, day by day. In no time, the ailment became uncontrollable and did not subside.

The day predicted by BABA drew near. Bala Shimpi quaked with fear and so did Patil Ramachandra.

They said: " BABA was absolutely correct. Now that is certain. The symptoms are not at all good and the suffering is on the increase."

The tenth day of the bright half dawned. Tatya's pulse became slower; and he was in a death-like trance. The relatives gathered round him were exhausted.

But then occured a miracle! Tatya's danger to life was also arrested. Tatya lived and BABA left, as if He had exchanged places with him.

Now, recall BABA's words. Though BABA used Tatya's name, He made preparations for His own departure, correct to the minute.

It is no use denying it that when He had given the indication, He had thrown light on the future. But until the event happend, none had realized the implication.

People say that BABA averted Tatya's death by giving His own life. He alone knows the truth.

{ BABA had consoled Tatya by saying that:" You dont worry now. Your death has been avoided by Me . Now in place of you, some one else will go.Then MadavRao who was present thought that now Tatya is saved, who is this"some one else?" Is it not BABA himself ? }
