(Baba attends Puja
on 28-2-1944)
Sai Baba declared that those who think that HE was at
Shirdi did not understand Him. He further declared He did not require any conveyance
to go anywhere. It is stated that in Chap 40 of SSC, when the devotees
surrender themselves completely to Sadguru, He sees
that the religious function in their houses are duly executed and comply with
all the necessary formalities. Let us know from the narration given by Mrs.GS.Devi in Sai Sudha of May
1944 that the above statements are true to the word and letter:
HH
BV Narasimha Swamiji,
Founder President AISS visited Konakandla village in Ananthapur district of AP on 28-2-1944. He
was taken in a procession, ofcourse with
Sainath's photo with full honours to the residence of
the Host, Sri Venkoba Rao.
The person resembling a fakir with a dirty and torn cloth, bundle of rags on
his head and old papers bundle in his hands accompanied them in the procession.
He even took Arathi with Pujya
Narasimha Swamiji, three
persons observed him but thinking he is a mad man they ignored. Pujya Swamiji distributed thirtha, prasad to the devotees
present. This fakir went to some other house and had his food. He came to Swamiji again and remarked "Are you meeting me
tomorrow at Vajrakarur Mister?" This he asked in
english (We know that Baba
used to speak all languages including english from
the statement of Shama to HH BV NarasimhaSwamy).
Venkoba Rao felt the fakir
was disturbing Pujya Swamiji
and asked him to leave the place.
That night Mrs GS Devi
had a dream in which she saw a 6 yr old known boy addressing her "Aunty What is this sleep? Food without Ghee was served, I was
driven out thinking I was a mad man by your brother, Did
you notice?"
She
was initially confused on hearing this but later caught hold of boy's feet and
repented for what had happened. Sri Venkoba Rao was informed of this dream at the time of Thursday Puja. On hearing this he and his wife took a vow not to
touch food till the fakir comes in the same fashion. On the second day evening
at 8 pm "Baba"
entered their house, Venkoba Rao
without taking any chance fell on the fakir's feet. He offered hot milk and
delicious food. Mrs Devi expressed her desire of
writing Sri Sai Charitra and sought His blessings. He
advised her to go to Shirdi for a reply. He advised Mr and Mrs Rao to have food as they did not have anything for the past
two days. Though He wanted to tell about some worldly problems they did not
give any chance because again Maya would play her part. Later he took rest and
left.
Dear readers, What a
fine message Baba has conveyed through the above incidence. Let us call Him
from the bottom of our heart and enjoy His bliss. He declared "I rest
where there is full devotion".
