Sri Sai Baba who showed in himself the knowledge, goodness, and power ,of Rishyasringa, Vasishta, Viswanwtra etc., has given the same account of Death. It is only one incident, he says in the evolution of the,
;jiva. ' -Ha gave instances where death of one life was exactly the same as the. commencement of another for the jiva. He-gave his devotees the assurance that he stands guard over them at that moment, as at other moments of their, life and that it is his right and duty to receive them and take them on ' to further stages of their progress. He informed several of what he had done for them in this matter. Regarding Sri Rao Saheb Gal****ar, who is now leading a pure and devoted life of service, Baba declared that even in a , 'former life G was marked by these tracts that therefore Baba placed him in his present mother's womb, and that he is maintaining his progress in such virtues even in these life also. 'Even if a devotee is 2000 miles away from Shirdi, Baba declared, his spirit would go to Baba the moment it is disengaged from its former body.
Baba added that when he takes charge of a soul he has to follow it, life after life, by taking birth himself as often as may be .necessary, till he . takes the soul to its final goal—the Feet of God. Even the terrors of the punishments that Yama and his myrmidons inflict on people for their past sins need not frighten his devotees. Says Sainatha Manana (which is the manual or quintessance-of Baba's Pooja, Dhyana, teachings etc.).

24. Yama is cruel, and undaunted he tortures people. But His punishments are unknown to the staunch devotees of Lord Sai.
25 Sais devotees have nothing to fear from Yama, the God of Death. Lord Sai is the Death of Death, He protects his own at the time they leave their bodies.
26. If people attracted by the Excellence of Sai rest their minds even occasionally at his feet,: Yama and his myrmidons armed with their cords will never appear before them—not even in their dreams, as their sins have been expiated (by such contemplation of Lord Sai).
These verses would'; remind , one of similar passages in Srimad Bhagavata. ' Ajamila a great sinner uttered-the holy name Narayana at the moment of Death, as he wished to call for his son named Narayana.; That utterance brought angels to save him from the clutches of Yama's myrmiions.
