    1912 24 January Wednesday

    Shirdi

     
    Somehow I overslept this morning. This made me late for everything. I had to hurry through all my usual routine. Somehow Mr Dixit was also late & every body appeared to be in the same predicament. We saw Sayin Baba go out & then read Paramamrit with Upasani, Bhishma & Bapusaheb Jog. I then went to the Masjid to see Sayin Baba.

    Laxmi Bai Kaulgi attended our Paramrit class & went to the Masjid after I reached. Sayin Baba called her his mother-in-law & made a joke about her saluting him. This gave me the idea that she has been accepted by him as a disciple. The midday arti passed off in the usual way rather quietly. On my return from it I found Mr Sané  Mamledar of Kopargaon sitting in the verandah. He was doing revenue work in connection with the extension of Gasthan & removal of the cemetery & burning ghat.

    After meal I tried to write a few letters but sat talking with Mr Sané. Then Mr Dixit read Ramayan and later on I went to the Masjid to see Sayinsaheb, but as all were dismissed soon, I took Udi & stood near the Chavadhi. I met there the Mahomedan Kabripauthi gentleman who came to Amravati sometime ago with Sathaye & Asnaré. In the evening there was the Arti at the Wada and then Sheja Arti at the Chavadhi. I held the Morachal as usual.

    25 January, 1912, Thursday-

    Shirdi

     
    Madhavarao Deshpande woke me up in the morning & said that he had to call me more than once before I answered his call. I prayed & attended the Kakad Arti. Sayin Baba walked to the Masjid in silence  On return we held our Parmamrit class with Upasani, Bapusaheb Jog, Bhishma & Mrs Kaulgi. We finished the chapter on Mahavakya Viveka. Then we saw Sayinsaheb both when he went out & after he returned to Masjid. 

    The midday arti went off as usual & Sayinsaheb gave me smoke very often. After meals I lay down for a while & then we had Ramayan. Dixit read it, & later on went to see Sayin Baba. He was in a pleased mood. At night there was the Wada Arti, Bhishma ’s Bhajan & Dixit ’s Ramayan. I may mention the fact that in the evening at strol time Sayin Baba told me nearly the whole previous history of Mrs Laxmi Bai Kaulgi. I knew it to be correct as I knew the facts.

    26 January, 1912,  Friday

    Shirdi

     
    In the morning I got up very early by myself and miscalculating the time it wanted to sun-rise, I said my prayers & walked up & down in the verandah. I found that I was before time by about an hour & a half. After sunrise I began the routine of life here & went out. Then found that Dhande Baba had arrived from Poona. I naturally sat talking with him. He showed me the latest letter of Tilak. At last the coronation has come & gone without seeing him out of jail. We sat talking about him & Dr Garde who has needlessly got up some trouble just now and wishes particularly to harm me.

    We read a little of Paramamrita, saw Sayin Baba go out & again after he returned. I felt unwell so I lay down for a while. Dhande Baba went away about 4 P.M. We had our afternoon Ramayan read by Dixit and then went to see Sayin Baba & walked in front of the Chavadhi. At night there was the Wada Arti & Sheja-Arti, Bhishma ’s Bhajan & Ramayana of Dixit. I received some English letters today.

    Shirdi

     
    I got up early in the morning prayed & attended the Kakad arti. Sayin Baba did not quite go to the Masjid without a word & yet he did not say much. I, Upasni, Bhishma & Bapusaheb Jog read Paramamrit, saw Sayin Saheb go out & again after he returned.

    The mid-day arti passed off easy and after it we had our meals as usual I lay down a while, then wrote a letter, and attended afternoon Ramayan read by Dixit. We saw Sayin Baba at his stroll & he spoke pleasantly though in a serious mood. Towards its end he spoke loud & angry and I am told that after dark he spoke louder still, making an occasion for the exhibition of his anger of the fact that Ibrahim, they stood near the Khind with his hands on the breach of the wall. Sayin Saheb's clothes were also washed by Radha Krishna Bai & he was angry with her for having done so.

     Balabhau Joshi went today to Poona to read for the pleaders examination. He was not present at the Wade Arti. After it Bhishma had his Bhajan in the hall & Dixit read Ramayan there. I shall sleep in the verandah. All traces of cold weather are fast disappearing here.

    28 January, 1912, Sunday

    Shirdi

     

    I slept very well last night & got up in time to pray before day break & commence the routine of the day. I went about 8 a.m. to the temple of Khandoba where Upasani lives & sat talking with him. It is a nice little place. We held our Parmamrit class in the quarters of Bapusaheb Jog, as talking & discussing Vendantic subjects in the verandah of my lodgings disturbs my son Balvant.

     
    We saw Sayin Maharaj go out & again after he returned to the Masjid. He asked me how we spent the morning & I gave him an account of what we did. He appeared to be in a pleased mood and the mid-day arti passed off easy except that Radha Krishna Bai appeared to be put out and vexed & she closed the doors.   So the arti things could not be got at soon. After the midday meal, I lay down for a while, then wrote a letter and attended the Puran of Ramayan by Dixit. Then we went & saw Sayin Maharaj at his evening stroll. Then there was Wada Arti, but no Bhajan, as Bhishma was unwell  At night Dixit read Ramayan, after we returned from Shejarti.

    29 January, 1912, Monday

    Shirdi

     
    I got up very early in the morning prayed & found that I was a bit too early but I kept on & attended the Kakad Arti.  On my return I began the routine of the day.  About 9 A.M. I went to Bapusaheb, with him & Upasani, began the Parmamrit, but most unaccountably I felt so sleepy that I could make no progress.  At last I returned to my lodgings & lay down and fell asleep so long that I did not get up till 12.30 or 1 P.M.  Madhavarao Deshpande & others tried to awaken me for the Arti & called me aloud but I did not respond.  At last they went to the Arti & somehow the matter reached the ears of Sayinsaheb & he said that he would awaken me. 

    Somehow I got up as the arti was being finished and attended the closing portion of it. I felt ashamed of having slept so long. I felt drowsy during the rest of the day. Narayan Rao Bamangankar came today from Sholap. He is a nice young man & I sat talking with him. Then in the afternoon I attended the Purana of Dixit & saw Sayin Saheb at the evening stroll. I had seen him when he went out between 9 & 10 A.M. In the evening there was the Bhajan of Bhishma & afterwards the Puran of Dixit. He read Ramayan as usual.

    30 January, 1912, Tuesday

    Shirdi

     
    I got up early but did not like to leave bed & begin work for fear of becoming again overcome by sleep as I was yesterday.  I left bed before day break, finished by prayers and went to Bapusaheb Jog for our Parmamrit class.   Upasani Shastri, Mrs  Kaulgi & Bapusaheb were there & we made very good progress.  We saw Sayin Baba go out & saw him again after he returned to the Masjid.  He asked me how I spent the morning & I gave him an account of what we did.  After the mid-day arti, I returned & we had our meal.  After it I sat reading the dailies & then wrote a few letters.  Later on Mr Dixit read Ramayan.  Bhishma & Madhavarao Deshpande attended the reading.


    Some two men of this village & the younger brother of Sitaram Denglé also came & sat talking after the reading was finished.  One of them recited a Chhanda on Ramayan.  Then I went to see Sayin Baba at the Masjid & he again asked how I spent the afternoon.  When I mentioned my writing letters, he smiled & said “It is better moving your hands than sitting idle.”  We saw him have his evening stroll, and at night attended the Sheja-Arti.  There was no Bhajan tonight but reading of Bhagavat took up all its time, and Dixit read Ramayana at night.

    Shirdi

     
    I was somewhat late in getting up but was able to finish my prayer &.in time to attend the Parmamrit class.  The work was finished today & we shall begin to revise it tomorrow.   I then went to the Masjid, sat with Sayin Maharaj & accompanied him out up to Sathe’s Wada.  People assembled there as usual to salute him.  I joined their group, saluted him and returning to Bapusaheb Jog’s quarters, commenced Panchadasi & explained the first ten verses which really contain the whole work in germinal form.  Then I returned to my quarters wrote a few letters & had them sent off, and went to the Masjid to attend the mid-day Arti. It passed off all right.  Mr Manekachand of Ahmednagar who has this year taken the degree of LL.B. came there & stayed here the whole day. We had our meals after we returned from the Arti.  I sat reading Jnyaneshwari edited by Sakhrebwa.
     

    Unfortunately, like the other editions, it does not solve all my difficulties.  Later on Mr Dixit read Ramayan.  Mr Sané Mamledar of Shirdi, and Mr Sathé, Dy Collector & Sub-divisional officer came & sat talking for sometime.  We resumed our Ramayan after they went and in the evening went to the Masjid to meet Sayin Baba at his evening stroll.  After the Wada Arti, we attended the Sheja- Arti,  Bhishma did not have his Bhajan but read Sakharoru’s Prakrit Bagavat & at night Mr Dixit read Ramayan.  Today evening when we assembled at the Masjid before Sayin Baba started on his stroll, Sayin Saheb told Mr Dixit to give two hundred Rupees to my wife  who was there shampooing the legs of Sayinsaheb.  This order was unaccountable.  Has it come to this that I have to be maintained by charity!.  I prefer death to this. Sayin Saheb I think wishes to curb & finally destroy my pride. So he is getting me used to poverty and the charity of others.**
    _______________________________________


    ** I turned up the dairy for 1st February 1912 and read the passage indicated by you. It correctly represents my feelings. Our Sadguru Sayin Maharaj gave the order. Being omniscient, he knew everything including all my innermost thoughts and never insisted on the order being carried out. Now that my attention has been drawn to the matter it appears to me that my wife then did not like the life of labour and povery. Kaka Saheb Dikshit had accepted the life and was happy. So Sayin Maharaj asked him to give two hundred rupees. i.e., povery and patience to my life.

    February 2, 1912, friday

    I got up for the Kakad Arti and after it we held our Panchadashi class but some how felt to speak of Panchadashi and commenced to read it. It is about the best work on the subject and none can take precedence of it.

    I went to see Sayin Maharaj before he went out and accompained him up to Sathe’s Wada and afterwards attended the midday Arti. Today I got a letter from Amraoti asking me to return to practice. I told Madhaorao Deshpande to ask Sayin Maharaj and he promised to do so.

    Shirdi

     
    I was late in getting up and it appeared that there was a waive of laziness.  Bapusaheb Jog was late, so was Mr Dixit and nearly every body else.  After finishing my prayers I went to the Masjid but Sayin Baba told me to take Udi without entering it.  I did so & proceeding to the quarters of Bapusaheb Jog, sat reading Panchadasi with him, Upasani & Mrs Kaulgi.  We went on reading till midday & then went to Sayin Babas Arti.  After it we had our midday meal. I had a little rest and then sat reading “Dasa-Bodha ”.  Mr Dixit read Ramayan in the afternoon.  Ganoba Aba, a local devotee of Sayin Baba, came to hear it.  He knows a large number of verses & has many by heart.
     

    We went & saw Sayin Baba at his stroll. Madhavarao Deshpande told me that he asked Sayin Baba about my returning to Amravati, and the latter declined the necessary permission saying he was an old man & did not like to lose his “about ”.  He said that some two hundred men went to a neighbouring town & were taken up as rioters; that Madhavarao’s name was introduced into the list of rioters, for nothing and that there was trouble about it.  At night there was the Wada Arti & the Sheja Arti and I attended both.  Bhishma had no Bhajan but read Bhagavat instead &then there was Ramayana of Dixit.

    Shirdi
     

    In the morning I got up early, attended the Kakad Arti and then finished my prayer.  As I was bathing two gentlemen came enquiring about Narayan Rao Bamangaonkar.  They were Lingayat Shastris. The eldest being known as Shivanand Shastri. There are two ladies with them.  These ladies are Brahmans.  The eldest of them is called Brahmanand Bai.  Some three years ago she met a Luigayat lady by name Nijanand Bai at Nasik.  She was an advanced yogini and instructed Brahmanand Bai.

    We all saw Sayin Maharaj go out & again after he returned to the Masjid. Brahmanand Bai worshipped him and sang two Artis very exquisitely.  After the midday arti I had my meal & lay down for a while.  Then there was the Puran of Mr Dixit, and then we went to see Sayin Baba at his evening stroll.  After the Wada arti at night Mr Dixit had his Purana & then Bhishma had his Bhajan.  The ladies Brahmanandbai & her companion sang very beautifully & we all enjoyed the Bhajan very much. Shivanand Shastri also sang.  The Shastris & the ladies come from Nasik.  They are permanent inhabitants of the place.

    Shirdi

     
    In the morning, just as I finished my prayers, Rajarampant Dixit came from Nagpur.  He is the elder brother of Kakasaheb Dixit.  He went to see Sayin Saheb.  I attended our class where we read Panchadasi and a verse of Amritanubhava with Bapusaheb Jog, Upasani Shastri, Shivanand Shastri, Brahmanand Bai & others. 

    We saw Sayin Saheb go out & went to the Masjid after he returned. He was very king to me, said a few words & in dismissing the company after Arti, called me by name, told me to shake off my sloth and look after all the ladies & children. Mrs Laxmi Bai Kaulgi was given today a piece of bread and told to go & eat with RadhaKrishna Bai.  This is a great food fortune.  She will be happy hereafter.   I invited Shivand Shastri, Brahmanand Bai & all with them, to have their mid-day meal with us. After it I lay down for a few minutes. Then Dixit read Ramayan & later we went to see Sayin Maharaj at his stroll. After the Wada Arti, there was the Sheja-Arti and at night Brahmananda Bai did the Bhajan very excellently. It was continued till after midnight.  The subject of my going is broached today. It may be decided tomorrow.

    Shirdi

     
    I got up & attended the Kakad Arti. Madhavarao Deshpande said that I would get permission to return home today. So I went with him & Bamangaonkar to Sayin Saheb about 7.30 A.m. and Sayin Saheb told us to come again in the afternoon. So We returned & I began the routine of the day.  I Upasani & Bapusaheb Jog read Panchadasi saw Sayin Maharaj go out & attended the mid-day Arti.  Brahmanandi Bai sang an Arti & a few Padas there.  Bapusaheb Jog went today to Kopargaon to get his pension so the arti was finishedsoon.   After the mid-day meal I & Bamangaonkar went to the Masjid.  Kakasaheb Dixit was there.  Sayin Saheb said that we might go tomorrow.  Madhavarao Deshpande also came there.  Sayin Saheb said that he had been considering long & thinking day & night.  All were thieves, but we had to deal with them.  He said he prayed to God night & day for their improvement or removal but God delays and apparently does not approve of the attitude & grant the prayer.  He will wait for a month or two & then see but whether living of dead he will have what he has been praying for.  He will not go to Teli or Wani & never beg of them . People are not good & devoted.  They are unsettled in mind & so on.
     

    He added that a few friends would gather together talk divine wisdom & sit & contemplate.  He mentioned a few thousand Rupees but I do not remember in what connection he said it.  I then returned & we had the Ramayan Puran by Dixit.  Later on we went to see him come out for his stroll    He was in a pleased mood. Mr Rajarampant Dixit went away today to Khandawa.  Upasani Shastri lost his wife.  The sad news came by letter I, Dixit & Madhavarao went to Upasani, condoled with him and brought him to the Wada.  Fakir Baba appears to have asked about my going away & Sayin Baba answered that I told him that I would go tomorrow.  When my wife spoke about my going, Sayin Baba said that I did not ask for permission personally, so he could not say.  I happened to go there soon after & Sayin Baba said that I could not go away without taking five hundred Rupees from Dada Bhat & two hundred from some one else, & making them all over to him.  At night the Wada Arti was a bit late as Bapusaheb Jog had to return from Kopargaon. Brahmanand Bai & Shivanand Shastri did Bhajan.  So did Bhishma.

    Shirdi
     

    I got up early, prayed, and held our Panchadasi class as usual.  I did not go to Sayin Maharaj to ask for permission.  We saw him go out & I went to the Masjid after he returned.  I found that Sayin Maharaj was sitting & in the yard a man was exhibiting tricks taught by him to a monkey.  There was also a professional singer & dancer.  She had a good voice & gave religious songs.  Later on came, Brahmananda Bai, her companion Sulubai & Shivanand Shastri.  They did the Puja & Brahmanand Bai whom they call Mazisaheb, sang very beautifully.  Sayin Saheb ordered the Sinhasan etc to be brought & when all was arranged , we stood at our posts.    Mazisaheb again rendered two songs so excellently that we stood spell-bound. I think Sayinsaheb liked them.  Then we did the usual Arti & returned for our midday meal.

    Mazisaheb & her people fed at my lodgings. After the meal Bamangaonkar & Mazisaheb with all her people went to Sayinsaheb to ask for permission to return.   Mazisaheb and Salubai got the permission & went away by cart. Shivanand Shastri & Bamangaonkar were detained by Sayin Maharaj & stayed.  I lay down & had a good nap.  Then Mr Dixit read Ramayan & after it I read Dasabodha by myself.  We all saw Sayinsaheb have his evening stroll, and after the Wada Arti, We attended the Sheja-Arti. At night Bhishma read Bhagavat and Mr Dixit read Ramayana.
