Satsang A BRIEF LIFE SKETCH OF GURUDEV H. H. NARASIMHA SWAMIJI

On 12th September, 1956, Swamiji's 83rd birthday, was celebrated at
the head quarters and- at upasamaja's as in the previous years. From
8lh October, 1956, Swamiji could not move out of his bed on account
of fever. He directed from his bed pracharak work, dictated editorial to
the Sai Sudha, attended to other works and spent the rest of his time
in meditating on'Baba.
Gradually his limbs benumbed. On 19lh October, 1956, Swamiji left his
mortal coil, leaving us the legacy of Sai-movement and All India Sai
Samaj, Madras. Baba's grace and H. H. Narasimha Swamiji's dynamism
drew numerous devotees. One of the greatest devotees of Sai Baba, Sri
Dasganu Maharaj once said, "A jeweller, like Sri Narasimha Swamiji
knows the value of a gem and will not rest till he brings the brilliance
of the crystal to the peoples' notice."

Swamiji's picture was unveiled on 26th January, 1966 by Justice M.
B. Rege in the Samadhi Mandir at Shirdi and was presented to Shirdi
Sansthan and this portrait is kept along with those of other devotees.

in the All India Sai Samaj premises, as a tribute and homage to Swamiji
during his birth centenary year. I pray Sri Sai Baba, the Benevolent
Master and Sri Narasimha Swamiji to shower on all of us their choicest
blessings.
