Satsang Chapter 38 :Sri_Sai_Sat_Charitra_Concise(Version)

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah
Om Sai Ram
Chapter 38:::


Baba feeding the devotees
When Baba decides to feed all, He would do everything

from the scratch carefully Himself – He would go to the
shop for procuring things, grind wheat, pulverize masala
items etc. Some times, He would prepare sweet rice
puddings. Occasionally He even prepared non-vegetarian
food. He would simply thrust His bare hand in to the
vessel when things were boiling to check whether items
had been cooked. His hand would remain unscathed by
the boiling things. After 1910 this event stopped
because the food brought by devotees for Baba was so
much that it over flew even after every one including
fakirs and beggars had their fill.
Once Nana Chandodkar while coming to Shirdi
skipped the Dattatreya temple on the banks of river
Godavari as he wanted to avoid the holy man there
to whom he had promised some donation. When
he came to Baba and sat quietly, the later angrily
asked how he could do such thing as skipping God
on the way though he was in His association for
long. Every day after the noon arathi, Baba would
sit straight in the nimbar in the masjid and all would
sit in rows on either side of him. Food would be
served sumptuously. One day after such a
sumptuous meal, Baba gave a tumbler full of
butter-milk to Hemad Panth and told him that he
would not get such an opportunity again and hence
he should drink it in full. Yes, shortly Baba attained
mahasamadhi.
