The following two episodes taken from Sai literature depict the diligence and sincerity of RB Purandhere towards Saibaba: The spiritual perfection of a Sadguru consists in realizing his essential identity with the one spirit of all existence, which is god. All the gods of the Hindu pantheon are its different aspects. Thus, the perfect Master is one who can demonstrate that he is all the gods, as Sai Baba did. Raghuvir Purandhare too had such an experience. About the year 1913, his mother was asking him repeatedly to take her to Pandharpur even when they were at Shirdi. Even before Purandhare broached the subject of going to Pandharpur with him, Sai Baba himself mentioned it by asking her when she proposed to "start for Pandhari". The same day, Purandhare and his mother got darshan of Baba as Vithal and Rukambai in the musjid itself! They were naturally, highly pleased with the experience and did hot wish to go to "Pandhari" any longer. Afterwards, Baba often asked purandhare's mother, in a jocular manner, when she proposed to go to Pandharpur and she always replied that her chosen deity was at Shirdi and so Shirdi was her Pandharpur.

(Source: Saibaba the Master by Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja)

R.B Purandhare was a Railway servant. Once he applied for leave, as he wanted to go to Shirdi with his family. The leave was sanctioned and Railway passes for free Rail Journey were given to him. A day previous to his departure the Railway workmen were reported to be planning a strike, so his superior officer requested Purandhare to adjourn his going to Shirdi for some time; but Purandhare was adamant; for Shirdi he had fixed, even though the office promised him, he would see that he gets his leave and also the Railway passes after the crisis had been tided over. Purandhare returned home and made all preparations for starting. That very night Baba appeared in his dream with a staff in his hand. He was very angry, strongly admonished him, and finally ordered him, "Don't come to Shirdi, why should you be coming to Shirdi over and over again?" So Purandhare dropped the idea of going to Shirdi and attended office the next day as usual. This pleased his superior; the little doubt that he had about Purandhare's complicity in the Railway men's strike at once vanished. So a month after he granted him his leave and reproduced Railway passes for him. When he went to Shirdi Baba said. "Don't go mad, we have as yet many responsibilities to discharge; so stay at home chanting my name." This clearly shows Baba's disapproval of His devotees' running down to Holy Saints shoving aside one's duties and responsibilities.

BABA CHANGED THE SCEPTICM OF SHRI TATYA SAHEB NOOLKAR AND GIVEN HIM SADGATI

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Shri Satya Saheb Noolkar was a sceptic having no belief in God and
Saints. He was a Sub-Judge at Pandharpur in 1909. At that time Shri
Nanasaheb Chandorkar was Mamlatdar at Pandharpur. He used to meet Noolkar
often and requested him to go to Shirdi for Baba's darshan. After a
prolong request, he accepted to visit Shirdi on condition that he
require a brahmin cook, a basket of Nagpur oranges for presentation, he
won't remove his pant and shoes at the time of Baba's darshan and that he
won't bow to Baba. Nanasaheb Chandorkar accepted to these conditions.
A brahmin cook came to Nanasaheb Chandorkar and he sent him to Noojkar.
A basket full of Nagpur oranges arrived in Noolkar's name and the
sender's name not known. After these conditions fulfilled, both
have gone to Shirdi.
When Noolkar saw Baba from a distance, he hesitated to go with shoes and
pant. He removed them and gone to Baba for darshan. On seeing Noolkar, Baba
asked Nanasaheh Chandorkar "How you have brought this mad man to me"
Noolkar understood Baba's question and Chandorkar told Noolkar that
Baba was a pitiable Saint and that He will clear your doubt and make you
to walk in the right path- On the second day, they came to Baba for
darshan. On seeing Noolkar, Baba scolded him and necked him to a
pillar nearby and driven him away from that place. Baba was
appeared at that time as "Narasimhavatar", All have vacated the
place, gradually Noolkar and Chandorkar also vacated the place. Noolkar
told Chandorkar about Baba's words. Chandorkar told that Baba has
scolded your bad time and it would go away by the scoldings of Baba
and that Baba would never do undo things to anybody. He would always help
His devotees. On the same nigh1" at about 2 A.M. Noolkar awakened to chew
betel and betel nut. But there was no betel and betel nut with him.
He woke Chandorkar and requested for betel and betel nut. Chandorkar
told that as it was dead of night, no betel and betel nut was available then
and requested Noolkar to sleep.
At that time Baba sent a devotee with betel and betel nut to Sathe's
wada to handover it to the person to whom it was required then and the
devotee handed-over it to Noolkar and went away. After hearing the
words of Baba from the devotee regarding this incident, Noolkar was over
helmed with affection to Baba and realised that Baba was not an
ordinary soul He was omnipotent. On the 3rd day, when Noolkar
came to Baba for darshan and worship, Baba asked him to
worship a pillar pointing to it in Dwara-kamayee.
Noolkar accepted and enquired Madhav Rao about this. Madhav Rao
told Baba "Deva Why do Noolkar worship the pillar when you are bodily
here?" Baba told that the game thing to Madhav Rao, Nanasaheb
Chandorkar and Noolkar. Madhavarao perused the panchangam and
known that day was the Guru Poornima day. All requested Baba, that as
the day was the Guru Poornima day we all have to worship you as our Guru.
Baba yielded to their request. From that day onwards, and it is on
account of this Noolkar, devotees began to worship Baba on Guru Poornima
day.
Tatya Saheb Noolkar stayed in Shirdi for about six months. He often
requested Baba to give permission to return to his home. Baba was vexed with
his presence and asked him to go with contempt without knowing the meaning
of Baba's words, Noolkar prepared to go and gone to some distance. Then Baba
called him back and told him. "THAT he may burry Him and then go". Noolkar
consulted Mhalasapathy about this. Mhalasapathy told Noolkar that Baba meant
"That some evil days were ahead of you'’ and that Baba told like that.
Accordingly all on a sudden one day Noolkar suffered and died at 2 A.M.
afrer drinking Baba's Pada Thirtham and thus Baka gave Sadgati to Noolkar.
Surrender Shri Sai Completely !! Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be
there !!

THE PROGENITOR OF THE FORMAL WORSHIP OF SRI SAI BABA: SRI TATYA SAHEB NOOLKAR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A meeting of childhood friends
Sri Noolkar and Sri Baba Saheb Neelkanth Ramachandra Sahasrebuddhe were
classmates in the Pune High School. They were close friends, but they did
not meet for 25-30 years after they left school. Now Sahasrabuddhe came for
the first time to Shirdi encouraged by Chandorkar and Dixit. He recognised
Noolkar who was staying at Sathe Wada and talked to him. The friends were
very happy to meet after such a long time. Noolkar invited Sahasrabuddhe to
stay in his room at the Wada and took him the next day to Baba for darshan.
As Sahasrabuddhe saluted Baba, Sri Sai Baba said, "Serve Noolkar." He
repeated the same instructions to Sahasrabuddhe on the second and the third
day. No one could understand the meaning behind Baba's orders to
Sahasrabuddhe to serve Noolkar as they both were of the same status. Baba's
words are indeed unfathomable. It is only when the right time comes that one
can grasp the meaning behind them.
Sahasrabuddhe wanted to go home after a while and requested Baba's
permission through Shama. Baba replied, "Tell him to stay for four days and
then go." After four days Sahasrabuddhe repeated his request only to receive
the same answer again. After this happened twice or thrice Baba said, "Let
him stay in front of the masjid like a dog and await my pleasure. He is not
to leave. WeÕll need him a lot in the coming days. There are many things,
which have to be accomplished by him in the future. I did not bring him here
without a purpose." With this everyone forgot about sending Sahasrabuddhe
away from Shirdi.
Noolkar's ill health - a friend's service
About a fortnight after this incident Noolkar, who was a diabetic, got a
carbuncle on his buttocks. Gradually these carbuncles increased in number
and he became bedridden. Sahasrabuddhe's nature was to serve his fellow men
and he was ever ready to serve. The patient was his close friend and Baba
had also ordered him to serve Noolkar. He began to nurse him day and night.
Sahasrabuddhe decided not to leave Shirdi till Noolkar regained his health.
All the devotees now understood why Baba had earlier refused permission to
Sahasrabuddhe to leave Shirdi.
The two sons of Noolkar, Vaman Rao and Viswanath too come to Shirdi to nurse
their father. Vaman Rao, who was a doctor, came from Bombay with his
surgical instruments and medicines. He removed the carbuncles surgically and
bandaged Noolkar after applying medicine. But Noolkar's health worsened and
did not get any better.\

THE PROGENITOR OF THE FORMAL WORSHIP OF SRI SAI BABA: SRI TATYA SAHEB NOOLKAR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Baba's Grace rains down upon Noolkar
Baba would never allow anyone to worship him. He would not allow any devotee
to even garland him. The great good fortune of being the first to formally
worship fell to Sri Noolkar upon a Guru Poornima day. One day Sri Tatya
Saheb Noolkar went to the masjid and saluted Baba. As he did so, Baba
pointed to the pillar besides the dhuni and said "You worship that pillar
tomorrow." Noolkar could not understand why Baba had said so. When he
returned to the Wada he conveyed Baba's instructions to Shama and asked him
as to what Baba's intentions were in ordering him thus. Even Shama could not
fathom why Baba had asked them to worship the pillar next day. He went to
the masjid to inquire of Baba but Baba merely reiterated his earlier
instructions. Later Baba repeated the same instructions to Tatya Kote Patil
and Dada Kelkar too. The next day happened to be a Saturday. As Noolkar
awoke from sleep he suddenly remembered that it was Guru Poornima. He
conveyed this to Shama and the other devotees. They got the almanac to check
and it was confirmed that it was indeed so. That day was Guru Poornima. They
now understood the meaning of Baba's words when he told them to worship the
pillar. They were all very happy that Baba had finally permitted them to
worship him. They all went to the masjid and begged Baba to allow them to
perform the worship of their guru. Baba merely told them again to worship
the pillar. "Oh our God! Why should we worship the pillar when we have you,
a God, in front of us? We will worship only you." Baba did not agree to be
worshipped by the devotees. The devotees stuck firmly to their resolve. At
last Baba had to acquiesce to the wishes of his devotees and allow them to
worship him. Baba always surrenders to the feelings of love and faith of his
devotee. He said, "All right" at last, and the happiness of his devotees
knew no bounds.
They immediately started preparing for the worship of the Guru. They decided
to worship Baba after he returned from his round of alms and informed him
thus. Baba, with utmost kindness, not only agreed but also permitted them to
worship him using the sixteen articles of formal worship. Baba sent word to
Radhakrishna Ayi and Dada Kelkar. She sent the various ingredients used in
worship to the masjid and Dada Kelkar also reached the masjid with the
various articles used in worship. All the devotees present did
congregational worship of Baba. Baba returned all the dakshina offered to
him back to the devotees. Arati was offered after the worship. Thus the
first Guru Poornima worship was performed at Shirdi. Later this worship
became an enduring tradition and it was performed with great pomp every Guru
Poornima day at Shirdi. Tatya Saheb Noolkar who saw the arati performed that
day felt that it would be mete if such an arati was performed to Baba every
day. Radhakrishna Ayi also felt the same. Thus was sown the seed of regular
arati to Sri Sai Baba at Shirdi. Even though the thought behind the arati
was Radhakrishna Ayi's, the work of actually bringing this worship in to
practice fell to Noolkar. He used to conduct arati for Sri Sai Baba every
day. Only the afternoon arati would take place in the masjid while Baba was
in the body. The Sej Arati and the Kakad Arati (evening and morning) would
be performed in the Chavadi. The regular aratis to Sri Sai Baba were done by
Noolkar until his last days when his ill health prevented him from coming to
the masjid or Chavadi. The privilege went later to Megha. After the demise
of Megha in 1912 Bapu Saheb Jog conducted the aratis until Baba entered
Mahasamadhi.

THE PROGENITOR OF THE FORMAL WORSHIP OF SRI SAI BABA: SRI TATYA SAHEB NOOLKAR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As he was sleeping in the Sathe Wada that night, he got up suddenly and told
Nana Saheb Chandorkar that he wanted to eat pan. Nana did not have the habit
of chewing pan, so he could not oblige him. At exactly this time, at the
masjid, Baba called a devotee and giving him four pans told him, "Give these
to the old man who has come with Nana and is staying in Sathe Wada with
him." As Noolkar saw the man bearing pans from Baba he was astounded by the
omniscience of Sri Sai Baba. Whatever remaining doubts he had had about Baba
vanished, never to return again. He developed rock-devotion and total faith
in Baba from that moment on. Even though he had to go back to Pandharpur, he
started visiting Shirdi whenever he could for the darshan of Sri Sai Baba.
He became an intimate devotee of Sri Sai Baba in a very short time.
Noolkar's eye ailment and its cure
At one point Noolkar started to suffer from a dangerous eye disease. He was
unable to bear the raging pain in his eyes and was slowly turning blind. He
consulted various eye specialists but they were unable to cure him. He
finally took refuge in Baba. He took leave from court and stayed at Sathe
Wada at Shirdi. He sat in the room for two days chanting the Sai Nama
without a break. He went for the darshan of Sri Sai Baba at the masjid on
the third day. As he entered the masjid Baba was keeping his hands upon his
eyes and was saying to Shama, "My eyes are paining badly today for some
reason." The very instance these words came from Baba, the pain in Noolkar's
eyes lessened and shortly his vision became normal.
At this time, when Noolkar was at Shirdi, there was a discussion about this
at the Pandharpur court in the lawyers' restroom. Many deplored the fact
that even an educated person such as Noolkar depended on sadhus and such
charlatans to cure his ailment rather than trust modern medical science.
They commented that it was indeed a pity that even educated people behaved
so foolishly and superstitiously. They even made fun of Sri Sai Baba during
this discussion. Time passed and one of the lawyers who had taken part in
the discussion came to Shirdi and had the darshan of Sri Sai Baba. He
reverently saluted Baba's feet, gave dakshina and sat a little way away from
him at the masjid. Baba made a general comment to the people in the masjid
saying, "How devious these people are! They bend in obeisance and salute one
repeatedly in one's presence. They give dakshina and behave with great
outward politeness, piety and humility. But in one's absence they abuse and
talk lowly of one." The shafts struck whom they were meant for. The lawyer
from Pandharpur stayed silently in the masjid. Later when he came out, he
confessed it all to the fellow devotees. He lauded and saluted the
omniscience and greatness of power of Baba who came to know the conversation
held many years ago and in distant Pandharpur. He learnt the lesson that one
should never speak badly of the others (see Sri Sai Satcharitra
Chapter -21).

THE PROGENITOR OF THE FORMAL WORSHIP OF SRI SAI BABA: SRI TATYA SAHEB NOOLKAR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


He was a judge at Pandharpur in 1908, the same period Sri Nana Saheb
Chandorkar was the Mamlatdar of Pandharpur. As they were both the senior
government officials at Pandharpur they used to make many calls upon each
other. Chandorkar used to talk to Noolkar about the greatness of Sri Sai
Baba and the many miracles he had wrought by his divine power. He urged Sri
Noolkar to have the darshan of Sri Sai at least once. Sri Noolkar kept
prevaricating and finally said that he had two desires and if they did come
true by the grace of Sri Sai Baba, he would believe in him and certainly go
to Shirdi for his darshan.
The first of his desires was that he should get a good Brahmin cook and the
second was that he should get a hundred of the best quality Nagpur oranges
to present to Baba. Sri Chandorkar, who had a firm, rock-like faith in Baba
assured him that both these desires would be certainly fulfilled by Baba.
Astoundingly, a Brahmin cook came to Chandorkar the same night searching for
employment. He sent him to Noolkar. A hundred oranges of the best quality
arrived from Nagpur the next day to Noolkar in a parcel. There were no
details of the sender on the parcel. Noolkar now trusted the divine power of
Sri Sai Baba and went to Shirdi accompanied by Sri Nana Saheb Chandorkar.
Baba's saying "I will pull my devotee to me, wherever he or she may be, as a
sparrow is pulled by the thread tied to its feet" came fully true in the
case of Noolkar.
He first visited Shirdi in 1909. Baba presented him with a divine experience
in his very first visit. As the small-built, stout Noolkar bent in obeisance
and was saluting Baba's feet, Baba pressed his head gently with his fingers
and shoved him back. Noolkar went flying and fell flat near the pillar at
the masjid. He felt as if had fallen not near the pillar but into an ocean
of joy. He felt that he had almost lost all consciousness and got an
inexpressible, joyful, ecstatic experience from the touch of Baba. He then
understood that Sri Sai Baba was his guru and that Shirdi is his final
destiny and destination.

THE PROGENITOR OF THE FORMAL WORSHIP OF SRI SAI BABA: SRI TATYA SAHEB NOOLKAR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It is impossible to describe the mutual love and esteem Sri Sai Baba and
Noolkar had for each other. Baba used to call Noolkar " Tatya ba" or "Mhatra
(old man)". The devotees would keep their offerings before Baba during the
arati. Sometimes Baba would say, "Today I want only the poli offering of
Tatya ba". He would unerringly pickup Tatya's polis from among the pile of
polis placed by the devotees and eat them with relish. The devotees would be
astounded by the divine power of Baba who could unerringly pick up the
NoolkarÕs offering from amongst all the other offerings.
Tatya Saheb Noolkar had a long-standing desire to hear from Sri Sai Baba a
mantra for him to repeat. Baba, who knew of his desire, uttered some mantra
and Noolkar repeated this as his personal mantra until the end of his life.
He also had a desire that Baba should present him with some article which he
could worship daily and Baba fulfilled this desire too. He called for
Noolkar on the night of Datta Jayanti around 9 oÕclock in the evening. Baba
was in such impatient anticipation of Noolkar's arrival that he sent two
more people for Noolkar before the first one reached the Wada to convey his
message. Noolkar hurried to the masjid. Baba seized him by the hand and
taking him to where the kafnis were stacked, picked up one and covered him.
He said, "Tatya ba, keep this kafni with you. This will save you from the
bitter wind and the cold." Tatya Noolkar who was enchanted by the infinite
love and kindness showered upon him by Baba started weeping and placed his
head reverently at Baba's feet. He felt that in a way this was Baba granting
him an initiation in to monkhood or sanyasa. Baba's love and kindness
towards Noolkar were of such a stature that Noolkar settled permanently at
Shirdi.
While Tatya Saheb Noolkar was the Assistant Judge at Pandharpur, he tried a
case regarding the rights of worship at Pandharpur. He always believed
honesty and morality to be his two eyes. He did not succumb to pressure from
any quarter and gave a just verdict in that case. He took leave after that
sensational case and went to Shirdi. As he saw him Baba said, "Tatya ba have
you come? It is good that you are here. How long are you going to stay?"
Noolkar replied with great humility, "Baba! I do not wish to go anywhere
else from here. Please let me stay at Shirdi henceforth. I am coming here
after delivering a verdict about the holy Panduranga Temple. Let me not
become involved in the normal machinations and litigation of mere men and
hold a pen again to write judgments. Let that judgment, pertaining to the
divine Pandharpur be my last one." Baba smiled and said, "Let it be so."
Noolkar resigned and stayed on at Shirdi.

Kakasaheb Dixit had made Shirdi more or less his home. After the death of his loving daughter Vatsali in 1911, Kakasaheb Dixit isolated himself from worldly attachments. He decided to live on whatever he could earn with grace of Almighty. He brought all his wealth to Shirdi and placed it at Lotus Feet of Baba. Sai Baba knew that Kakasaheb will need money in future so He said, "O Keep the money with you only. It will be useful in your old age".

Kakasaheb said, "Your blessings are with me. I do not need this money." Kakasaheb emptied the bag of money before Baba even though He refused.

Baba did not keep even a single penny with Him and donated all the money generously among other devotees present in Dwarkamai.

Famous judge of Mumbai Shri Garade was also present in Dwarkamai at this occasion. He was surprised at this deed of Kakasaheb.

Kakasaheb did not mind Baba's not accepting his gift and distributing it among the devotees. He wore the same smile on his face which was always present. Kakasaheb said to Baba while pressing His legs, "Baba this world is full of pits and falls, please have mercy on me and give me permission to sacrifice this Sansar."

Baba answered, "Kaka! You have only one Sansar. I have many but still I don’t think to leave any of them. Then why do you want to leave your one and only one Sansar? So stick to whatever you have and that will do you good in future".

It was in the year 1918, when Baba took Mahasamadhi. At the time Kakasaheb's age was about 54 years. He abdicated all his wealth at Holy Feet of Baba. He generously used left over money for charity. He was always engrossed in Sai Naam Jaap. Days passed by like this and Kakasaheb was pressed under debt of Rs. 30,000. Only millionaires took such considerable debts at that time. Kakasaheb was tensed about repayment of the debt. His condition grew from bad to worse as the date of repayment was nearing. Kakasaheb had not taken even a single penny from anyone as his life and now he had to hear abuses from creditors for money. He could not bear the burden of worry and debt. He was feeling morose, dejected and helpless. He started losing hope for help from all directions.

Kakasaheb had to repay a big amount of debt and only six days were left. He was pennyless and expected that those six days should never end. He thought for some or the other way all the day and night. On one such night, he was thinking and went to sleep unknowingly. He had following strange dream :

The same creditor came to recover his money from Kakasaheb Dixit. Kakasaheb Dixit answered, "Right now six days are remaining to repay the debt. You need not worry; I will repay full debt in time. I am not an ordinary man. I am popular among many famous personalities like Chimanlal Setalwad and have maintained good relations with all of them. So there is no reason to worry. Now you go and come after six days".

Thus the dream ended. Kakasaheb woke up. Placing his hand on head in dismay, Kakasaheb realized his mistake what he did in dream. He thought, "I have surrendered myself to Baba in all respects. Baba's treasury is ever full like Kuber's treasury or even more than that, then how can I ask help and support from an ordinary person like Chimanlal Setalvaad?" He started shedding tears in front of Baba's picture. He begged for forgiveness to Baba mentally saying and praying, "Baba there is no one else in my heart and mind other than You. You only are my Maai-Baap (parents). My words are not untrue and without meaning. Baba, You are Antaryami (knower of inner thoughts). You can judge Yourself Baba that I am not speaking untruth. Baba, You cannot leave me any day, I fold my hands before You, please forgive me as I showed my dependency on that Chimanlal Setalwad in dream. Please forgive me Baba..."

Days passed by and the day of repayment of loan was nearing. Only one day was left and Kakasaheb sat in his office thinking and trying to find some solution and way to come out of this problem. A young lad turned up. His complexion was fair and he had bright eyes. His name was Chandravadan Nanavati. He gave introduction to Kakasaheb that he was son of Shri Nanavati and Kakasaheb loved him very much when he was a kid. Also he asked the reason for Kakasaheb's worry and morose condition. He added, "Uncle, I have come here for special work and I wish to invest some amount of money lying idle with me through you. I am very well aware of your relations with my father. Now a days money cannot be given for investment to any unfamiliar person. I am here because I trust you fully."

Kakasaheb said, "O, son, these days I am very worried. You make arrangement for investment elsewhere. I have many debts to repay and I don’t have enough money, so if your money is used by me in wrong way, how will I show you my face?"

Chandravadan said, "Uncle why do you say so? There is no difference between you and my father in my opinion. If my money proves useful to you in your tough times, I will be more than happy. You can use my money as per your wish." Thus saying he kept Rs. 30,000 on the table and went away.

Thus Kakasaheb repaid his debt well in time and was saved from any misery with the grace of Baba. Baba as a loving father arranged everything in time. So those who surrender themselves completely to Baba, all their problems and calamities are taken care of by Baba.

He told Shama that for 72 janmas or births he had been with him and and that he had never touched him at all till then. That is, he recalls events of 72 janmas, and knows he has been protecting his devotee all these janmas that is, over 2,000 years. Especially in this janma when Shama, an almost illiterate and helpless villager was obliged to depend entirely upon Baba, Baba looked after all his interests and provided him and his children also with means of subsistence, with comforts, with safety, and position as he provided so many others. When G.G. Narke was introduced to Baba, Baba declared that he had known him for 30 janmas. If a janma is roughly taken to be even 30 years, this takes us nearly a thousand years back. Hence, to give an undertaking which appears to be indefinite in point of time is nothing for a Niranjana.
