Defender of Devotees (Part 2)

[SS91]

Bapusaheb Buti once had an attack of cholera.

For a long while he had not seen Sai Baba, Cholera would not yield

to medical treatment, Bapusaheb was afraid of his coming end.

Baba learnt about it and sent word that he should come to see Baba,

even when he was unable to move about.

But Baba's word meant an unbreakable command.

Somehow or other, with the help of friends, Bapusaheb reached

Dwarkamai.

He fell at Baba's feet but was very restless all the time for fear

of vomiting and wanted to go home.

But Baba ordered him to sit still. He obeyed and cholera was no more.


In the same way he cured one BhimajiPatil who belonged to

Narayangaon in Poona District.

 Every few minutes he was vomitting blood and was afraid of

approaching death.

At last he decided that if death was certain.

 It should come at least in the presence of a saint and came in a

bullock-cart to Shirdi.

He was seated before Baba and he requested him to save him.

Baba said his trouble was over as soon as he entered Shirdi.

Next day his recovery was complete.

Baba's remedies of restoring people to health were very curious,

Baba Ganpat Shimpi who stitched his robes was once ill of fever.

He requested Baba to cure him but said he would have to resort to a

strange device.

Shimpi agreed to abide by his order.

 He was asked to take a little cooked rice and curds and feed- it to

a black dog before the temple of Shri Lakshmi.

Shimpi obeyed and was cured.



OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!
Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him.
