In the Matunga area of the Bombay city stays one Industrialist whose name is Babulal Jagjeevandas Shah. He is religious minded and devoted to God. He is originally from Rajkot. He has got a business both at Rajkot and Bombay in Motor accessaries like Batteries, bulbs etc. For his business he is required to pay visits to Rajkot occasionally.. Once when he had been to Cburchgate for booking his ticket for Rajkot, he met a Sadhu near the station. He presented a stone to him. He looked at the stone, accepted it and offered to pay the price of the stone, but the Sadhu did not accept the money.
After coming home, Shri Babulalbhai examined the stone closely and Io! he could see the letter Om in it! In order to confirm his doubt, he examined the stone under a microscope and to his great surprise he could see the letter Om at five different places in the stone.
He decided in his mind to show this queer stone to some experts on the next day and slept on that night with ideas about that same stone. In his dream in that night he saw a saint, who looked like a fakir, and on getting up in the morning on the next day he realised that the saint was none else but Shri Sai Baba. Before that time he was not a Sai Devotee; but since that time he became a staunch Sia Devotee.
This precious stone obtained by Shri Babulalbhai is transparent and whitish grey in colour. The Archaeological research centre in Deccan College at Pune expressed the opinion that it was a rare speciman of stone. The experts have opined that the stone might be of a date prior to five to seven crores years. The American National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institute in Washington has recently expressed their view that the stone must belong to a very very old age. In this stone we are able to get the view in one place of the (1) Sat Brahma Onkar (2) Chit Brahma Onkar (3) Anand Brahma Onkar and (4) OM Shri Babulalbhai considers this precious stone as a special "Prasad" given to him by Shri Sai Baba and he worships it daily along with the other Gods in the house. He has got prepared a golden ring and has set this stone in it.
