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
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. |
