Sai Baba's Funeral Rare Pictures

[saisewika]

Shirdi on the day of Beloved Baba's material demise and funeral photos

[v2birit]

Rare Photos. Painful to see. But as Sai baba said that he was never the body that people thought him to be.
Thanks for sharing.

Sairam, These are not Baba's Funeral Photos.
There are many points which do not match at all.
They were being circulated on Facebook too but due too objections they have been removed.

~~~~

1) It is said that around 7000 people attended it from all over, but in these photos, does not seem so.
2) The procession of Baba's Body was carried out in a regal way with horses, Palanquins, Bhajan Groups etc, but nothing of this sort can be seen in these photos.
3) Baba's body has been shown kept openly outside in the sun, but the fact is that it was kept for 3 days in Dwarkamai and then the procession was taken out and I guess some type of a canopy or umbrella must have been held over his body to protect his body from the sun as was done when he was alive.
4) If these photos were genuine, then the Shirdi Sansthan too must have had them put up in the Sai Baba Museum in Shirdi, but they have not !
5) Last but not the least, there is no familiar known devotee to be spotted in any photo.

Sairam,

Thanks Rohit for the information.

As you know devotees are very innocent.   They never think, that anything would be untrue bcos they think straight. They never know dexterous thinking.

Still these pictures give some sort of insight into how it would have been.

Om Sai Ram
