The beauty of these wonderful saints is that they appear so quietly in
a remote unheard of village and after fulfilling their earthly mission leave
as quietly as they come. It is then that their fame begins to spread like
wildfire as they become spiritually active from their tombs. BABA as
already mentioned is an Apantaratma. HE will therefore remain
eternally active from HIS tomb to help and protect HIS devotees and
all others who place their in HIM.
1. What can the snake do to Dwarkamayi's children? They look on
amused when the snake appears.
2. We have no need to fear. Strike, let Me see how you can strike
and kill.
3. This is not it Mosque. It is Dwaraka. Those who seek refuge in
her will never he harmed.
4. As soon one climbs the steps of the mosque sufferings due to
Karma are at an end and joy begins. That Fakir(God) is very kind
and will relieve your troubles.
5. When any one enters this Dwarka Mayi his goal (object) will be
achieved.
6. This place (Dwarka Mayi) is for Tarana i.e. saving them and NOT
marana i,e. killing them.
SHRI SAINATH.
Before BABA's arrival in Shirdi, the Dwarkamayi was an old mosque
in a dilapilated condition. BABA turned it into Dwarkamayi. It was the
desire of Gopal Gund, land Surveyor of Kopergaon to repair this masjid
after he started the Ram-Navami Urs Fair in Shirdi every year from 1897.
However, this work of repairing the masjid was not assigned to him but
for Nana Chandorkar and the pavement work for Kaka Dixit. Initially,
BABA refused permission to have these Jobs done but on theintervention
of Bhagat Mhalsapathy, HIS consent was obtained. The work of
restoration of the masjid together with the Sabha Mandap was
completed in 1911.
How fortunate is this mosque where BABA chose to stay In Shirdi. For
decades and centuries, this mosque may have bean left unused and
allowed to decay. When BABA first stayed In this mosque, it was so
dilapilated that one feared if the walls of the roof would crumble down
on him. The masjid bore the full brunt of heat, rain and cold and made
it useless for inhabitation. It was a wonder how BABA spent a good
60 years in this mosque when one could not live there for a single day.
It is believed that BABA Himself in some earlier lives had connection
with Shirdi and even of this Dwarkataayi mosque. Shri Sainath being
a God incarnate. His actions all resemble some past links and what HE
did always had a deeper meaning beyond ordinarly human intellect. It
was only the saints and God realised souls who could understand
BABA and realise His greatness and His actions.
