BABA PUT DOWN THE PRIDE OF THE BRAHMINS FROM KUMBAKONAM AND FULFILLED THEIR WISHES
Baba used to disburse about Rs. 700/- to Rs. 800/-daily to all. Some Brahmins from Kumbakonam came to Bombay preaching Vedanta and thereby spending their levelihood. They came to know about Baba that Baba used to give money to the skilfull persons daily and in that eagerness for money they came to Shirdi. But they thought that as Baba was a Muslim (Availa), how did they explain Vedanta and bow to Him. However they satisfied that they may bow to Him as they did for Poorna Brahma and then Baba will accept them and offer money to them. Thinking likewise, they went to Baba and stood obediently. Baba saw them and questioned them what did they want ? They replied that they want to explain Vedanta before Baba and thereby to get Sanmanam from him, Baba accepted and asked them to explain Vedanta. They explained and Baba heard it patiently. After explaining some portion, they kept quiet as they forgot what they explained and what they have to explain. Baba asked them to continue. But they kept quiet. Baba told the remaining portion and then the brahmins started and finished it. At the time of bowing to Baba, they told "Poorna Brahma" and bowed to Baba as "Poorna Brahma" and they were ready to receive Sanmanam. Baba told them that as they bowed to "Poorna Brahma", they may receive their Sanmanam from that "Poorna Brahma". After hearing this vital answer from Baba, they were astonished and made Sashtanga Namaskar. Afterwards Baba gave Sanmanam to them. They went away satisfied that Baba was more than "Poorna Brahmam".
