BHAGAWAN BABA OF SHIRDI

He says "Believe in me with all your heart, and I shall protect you; turn to me, I shall look after your; cast burden on me and I will bear it; think of me in the hour of your trouble and I shall be by your side". Were they mere gimmicks as that of the politicians, or tall claims of a fake saint? Nay, there were absolute realities tested time and again. Hence the unanimous verdict - "He is the saviour, trust- worthy, and the only guide in the hour of need". Anything wrong! Was it fraud!! No certainly not!!! Being a godman, he embodied divinity in abundance. Neither it was conceit, nor deceit perpetrated on the gullible public. The fantastic number of his followers testifies to the enormity of the impact of his magnetic personality on the public. He is a phenomenon.

Many of his devotees received aid in multiple ways. He relieved their suffering with warnings about the impending calamities in advance, and those who heeded were benefited and non-believers regretted. Here is an incident of the non-believers - An Englishman came to Shridi seeking his blessings for a child birth. Can barren land turn Pushpodhan in a flash? Finding the time not propitious, Baba entertained not his supplication. The angry Englishman before his departure came to take leave of Baba; but Baba asked him to go the next day. The haughty white man went heedless of the advice and met with an accident on the way, in hours at it. Examples can run into hundreds. Beneficiaries are countless living near and afar.
