Chapter 29:::
Bhajan troupe from Madras

* A bhajan troupe from Madras,on its way to pilgrimage to North India,

came with greed to Shirdi on the hearsay that the saint there gave

visitors bountiful of money. But the senior lady in the troupe was honest

and saw the vision of Shri Rama in Sai repeatedly in the masjid and

went into ecstasy.Her husband disbelieved this as hallucination and

ridiculed her.One night he had a dream, which was thus ::' He is in jail

and Baba stands outside the prison bars.Suddenly a loud thud is heard

and he sees policeman in a pool of blood.. Baba remarks : "Now you

are well entrenched in this crime." He weeps and begs Baba to rescue

him. Immediately he is out of jail and prostrates before Baba. He says

that his earlier prostrations were for money but the present one was on

his realization of Baba as God.Then at his request Baba shows him his

Guru Ramdas.The man remarks that Baba appears to be old.Baba

challenges him to join Him in a race and starts running.Immediately He

disappears in the cloud of dust emanating from his feet.' The dream

ended and the man's greedy attitude changed. They stayed for a few

more days enjoying the darshan of Baba and completed the rest of

the pilgrimage without any hurdle.

* Astrologers told the son of Smt. Tendulkar of Bombay that come what

may, he would not get through his examinations that year. Baba

assured that he would get through and it happened so.

* The father of the said boy took voluntary retirement with a meager

pension of Rs.75.Baba told his wife in a dream that He desired that

the pension should be raised to Rs.100.Orders came raising the

pension to Rs.110.

* Once Baba appeared in the dream of Captain Hate of Bombay and

exclaimed: "Have you forgotten me?" He immediately sent by money

order twelve rupees to a friend at Shirdi indicating that ten rupees be

spent on vegetables and two rupees for puja items.That day all

wondered when Baba ate only vegetables.
