SAI NIWAS IN MUMBAI
 
 
   
DHABOLKAR'S HOUSE

Hemadpant's Simga dinner (Ref. ESS Ch.XL) was performed in this very house, that is well maintained and kept as is' with all memorablia.
 

STAIR CASE

 
The members were about to start eating, when footsteps were heard on these stairs, Dhabolkar went immediately and opened the door and saw Ali Mohd and Moulana Isnu Mujawar with a packet.

 

SIMGA DINNER PHOTO

 
This beautiful plaster of paris statue was brought by All Mohd. and was set in the place that was reserved for Baba at the 'Simga Dinner' (Ref. ESS, Ch.XL). Baba kept His Promise to attend the Dinner and arrived in this form.

 

POTHI

 
 
Dhabolkar started writing the 'Sai Satcharitra' in 1910 which was published in 1929. This Pothi should be in every house, and should be lovingly and respectfully read. Baba will be pleased by removing ignorance and poverty, will give knowledge, wealth and prosperity. With a concentrated mind if one reads atleast a chapter daily, it will give unbounded happiness. This work should be read at home specifically on Gurupurnima and on other holy days. "If you study this 'one book' all your desires will be satisfied and Sai will easily make you cross this 'Bhav Sagar ". The sick will get health, poor will get wealth and the mind will get steadiness (Ref. ESS, Phalastuti, epilogue)

BABA'S PADUKAS AND COINS GIVEN BY BABA TO DABOLKAR (DABOLKAR'S SPECTACLES)

 
In a glass topped box two coins given by Baba, holy Padukas of Baba, spectacles of Hemadpant are kept.

 

BABA'S PORTRAIT PAINTED BY JAYKAR

 This beautiful portrait of Baba was painted by Shyamrao Jayakar. 'Baba sitting on stone" posture is on the left side wall just upon entering the house. It is a masterpiece, luminous, pensive and most of all forgiving. It was painted on 26.12.1916. It is dated and signed. many wondrous things are happening to this photo. Painted some more than 80 years ago one can see a 'Sesha Nag' behind Baba, but most interestingly a 'Swastik ' on Baba's chest. It looks as if some made a 'Chandan Swastik'. There is another 'Swastik' on Baba's right foot.
