Dear Guru bandhu,
Vijayadasami is the mahasamadhi day of Sri Saibaba .. (Baba took mahasamadhi on 15th October 1918 - Aswayuja Sudha Dasami - Vijayadasami)
Ramachandra Patil, a devotee of Sai Baba, became seriously ill, and medical aid proved ineffective. He was, counting his days. Inwardly he went on pleading for his recovery to his last refuge,Sai Baba. One midnight Sai Baba appeared physically before him. Patil held his feet firmly and asked Baba to tell him the exact time of his death. Baba was moved and said, “Don’t be anxious; your death-warrant has been withdrawn and you will soon be alright; but I am worried about Tatya Patil’s life. He will pass away on the Vijayadasami day. Do not divulge this to anyone, not certainly to Tatya; for he’ll be frightened.” Indeed, Ramachandra Patil quickly recovered, but he was afraid of Tatya’s safety. He shared his secret with Bala Shimpe, the tailor.
As the terrible day neared, Tatya fell ill and was bed-ridden. He could not go to Dwarakamai for Baba’s darshan. Though Baba was also down with fever, Tatya had full faith in Baba that he would save his life. Baba’s condition too was fast worsening. Bupusaheb Booty was afraid that if Baba passed away, his wada would not be consecrated by the touch of Baba’s feet and all his money, lakhs of rupees, would go a waste. At one stage Tatya felt his end was certain. He was getting udi regularly from Baba. One day Baba summoned Tatya to the mosque for lunch. As Tatya could not walk, he was carried thither by a fellow devotee. Then Baba gave him a little rice boiled in milk, which he ate with great difficulty. Baba looked enquiringly at Tatya, and the latter burst into tears. Though he himself was ailing, Baba applied udi to Tatya’s forehead and said, “Tatya, at first I got two swings ready for both of us. But now I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to take you now. I am going alone. Go home!” Then Baba gave him udi and Tatya was taken home.
During this period of his illness, Baba made one Mr.Vaghe read out to him the sacred book, ‘Ramavijaya’ once in a week, second time, in three days and the third round was also finished. When the man was very much exhausted Baba let him go and observed silence for most of the day.
Seven days before Vijayadasami, a band of fakirs arrived at the mosque. They brought with them a tiger chained to a cart. It was ill and was very furious with pain and suffering. They purchased it from a circus company and were collecting money by exhibiting it in villages. They hoped that Baba would rid the creature of its suffering so that they could sell it at a higher price back to the circus men. ‘I shall at once rid it of its suffering; bring it here’ said Baba. The fakirs untied it and led it into the front yard of the mosque. The creature climbed up the steps, and stared at Baba as though struck by his radiant face, struck the ground thrice with its tail and fell dead. Indeed, it was released from bondage.
It was still four days for the holy Vijayadasami, the day which Sai Baba described as the day of his ‘seemolanghan’. Mrs. Andu Marwadi, one of the local devotees of Sai Baba, was sitting in front of him.Sai Baba said, “Bai, I am tired of being in Dwarakamai and chavadi. I’ll go over to the (Booty’s) wada where big people will look after me”. At that time Baba’s health was far from satisfactory. He stopped his morning trips to Lendi and his begging rounds and only sat in the mosque. His closer devotees like Kakasaheb Dixit and Booty remained with Baba all the time and were dining daily in the musjid itself.
At last the fatal day of Vijayadasami(15th of October, 1918) dawned. Ramachandra Patil and Bala Shimpe knew what was in store for Tatya. News came that his pulse was getting weaker. Baba too was also very ill and weak. He sat up in the morning and called Mrs. Lakshmi Bai Shinde near him, gave her Rs.5/- at first and then Rs.4/- and told her to preserve them. Then, after the morning arti, Baba asked all the devotees to go for lunch. Just a few of the devotees like Mrs. Lakshmi Bai Shinde, Bhagoji, Bayyaji, Bala Shimpe and Nanasaheb Nimonkar stayed with Baba.
He told them that he did not feel well there in the mosque and asked them to take him to the dagdi(stone )wada of Booty where he would be alright. Saying these last words, he leaned on Bayyaji’s (Bayyaji Apaji Patel) body and breathed his last. Bhagoji noticed it and told Nanasaheb Nimonkar. Nanasaheb then brought a little water and poured it in Baba’s mouth but it all came out. Then Nanasaheb burst out weeping.
It was a terrible blow to the countless devotees and the whole village of Shirdi felt like a corpse with its spirit gone. The news spread fast and the whole village rushed to the mosque weeping and crying.
Strangely, Tatya recovered very rapidly and could sit up by noon. Devotees felt that Sai made the supreme sacrifice of his life to save Tatya from certain death. For did not Sai say that he would even give his own head to save his devotee? ( from Saibaba the master by pujya saimaster )
