Baba's first few devotees -Waman Kumbhar

[SS91]

Waman Kumbhar (Potter)

From the time Baba made His abode at Dwarkamai, He used to go to Lendi Baug Lendi Garden) for watering the plants which He had planted Himself in Lendi Baug - His place for penance.

Baba frequently used to go to Waman’s stall of pots and told Waman to give matka's for watering His garden.

Baba used to carry matkas on His shoulders and after watering the plants break them as they were raw (kaccha) matkas.

Baba did not pay anything for matka but Waman was dedicated to Baba and worshipped Baba and never hesitated to give matkas free to Baba.

In this way Baba taught the principle of sacrifice without talking about it in words or by giving discourses on the importance of sacrifice in spiritual elevation
