CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE: SRI SAI GURUCHARITRA -Chapter VII
I got a divine dream immediately after Sri Sai Baba entered mahasamadhi. I will let you know the details of the dream. In that dream, Sri Sai Baba who was none other than Sri Rama had crossed the borders of this world and went to Vaikunta, the abode of Sri Hari. There the Almighty Sri Mahavishnu had come to the gates of Vaikunta on the pretext of Seemollanghan but actually to welcome Sri Sai Baba along with mahatmas such as Sanaka, Sananda, Suka, Prahlada, Dhruva, Vibhishana, Narada, Tumbura, Maruti, Sabari, Sugreeva, Siriyala, Nandagopa, Yasoda, Bheem, Arjuna, Dharma Raja, Sri Sankara, Madhvacharya, Ramanuja, Matsyendranath, Ghoraknath, Gahaninath, Sopanadev, Changdev, Namdev, Gora kumbhar, Damaji pant, Tulsidas, Rohidas, Eknath, Savata mali, Bodhale bua, Sri Samarth Ramadas, Tukaram Maharaj, Sajan Kasai, Chokha Mahar, Narsi Mehta, Nagar and Kamaldas.
On seeing Sri Sai Baba Kamaldas ran to him and clasped him to his breast. He could not speak for some time but silently enjoyed the bliss of reunion. After a while he said, "My father! Baba! Where did you go for such a long time leaving me alone here? I was burning with anguish for a glimpse of you." Then the other mahatmas consoled him, "Why cry now? Your father Kabir has returned. He was in Shirdi all this while to show the right path to the people of this world. Now he will stay on with us." The rishis all hailed Baba. The celestial beings sang in his honor. Then Sri Sai Baba took his seat alongside Srimannarayana. I was prostrating to their lotus feet clasping them to my heart when I woke up. This was my dream.
The physical body of Sri Sai Baba was taken in a great procession by Kakasaheb Dixit and was put in mahasamadhi in the Buty wada. Gopal Mukund Buty was a very rich man of rare good fortune. He had great devotion for the feet of Sri Sai Baba. Now Baba is in Samadhi in the building constructed by him. Many devotees have experienced that Baba is still there. Nobody ever feels that he has died. If any one feels so, it is just ignorance. It is said that he was not born of the human womb. Where is death for one who has not taken birth? He is beyond both birth and death. He is one without end. He is indivisible. He is the ocean of knowledge.
