Nana Chandorkar
He was a high ranking Govt.officer under the British Rule- (PA to the Collector).
He was a learned Sanskrit Pandit (expert) and was well read in religious philosophy propounded by monumental master pieces like Bhagvad-geeta (philosophical discourses given by Lord Krishna) and Dnyaneshwari by the Saint Dnyaneshwar and other pieces of philosophical literature (Religious scriptures).
Baba sent several messages to Mr Chandorkar-through one of His devotees- Mr Kulkarni who was working as a clerk in Chandorkar’s office.
Inspite of several messages Chandorkar did not take seriously Baba’s invitation to visit Shirdi because he did not like to entertain such persons as sadhus or fakirs and believed that these persons do not have divine powers and through their magical tricks they attract innocent and ignorant people for their money - making business and thus encouraged blind belief- which is not based on any scientific, objective or rational thought or judgement.
Ultimately however he came to Shirdi.
Baba welcomed him and said. ‘Oh’, you have atlast come to me after several messages.
Nana, you do not know why from among thousands of Nanas in the world I have specifically invited you.
Later in the company of Baba Mr Chandorkar had an intellectual dialogue and then was awe-struck by a very very original and new interpretation of Geeta given by Baba.
In Chandorkar’s life when his daughter was pregnant and was passing through crisis Baba made all the arrangements in His mystic ways to send (udi) (ash) at Chandorkar’s place and the moment udi was swollowed by Maina (Chandorkar’s daughter), because of Baba's grace, the crisis was over and child birth took place without any harm to the life of the mother.
Later Chandorkar, along with his assistant Mr Das Ganu took a lead in spreading Baba’s mission to impart knowledge about One God (Allah Malik Ek Hai- The Almighty Master is only one everlasting reality).
This is how Baba was very watchful and cared for His devotees by going beyond time and space dimensions.
