HAJI
ABDUL BABA
|
 |
|
This
is
the first Samadhi to your right on the
way to Lendi Bagh. Abdul Baba was the
premier Sevak of
Baba,
who
wrote down
everything that Baba said, and read it
daily as his
Quran. Baba
bestowed on him His grace and he progressed
spiritually.
After Baba's Mahasamadhi Abdul used
this manuscript
to
prophecy. He took samadhi on 16th
August 1954.
His Samadhi
is looked after by his descendants. |

NANAVALI |
|
|
|
There
was in Shirdi a quaint and queer
fellow who looked
after Baba's
work and affairs. He loved Baba so
much that
he breathed his
last on the 13th day of
Baba's Mahasamadhi (Ref.
ESS, Ch.
X).
Once
he asked Baba to get up from His Gadi
as he wanted
to occupy
it. Baba got up and Nanavali sat there
for a little
while, then
fell prostrate at Baba's feet and
left. The Sansthan
looks
after his samadhi. |

SAMADHI
OF V.P.IYER
|
|
|
|
Just
behind Nanavali's Samadhi is this
Samadhi. He was a Sugar Technologist
and worked at various sugar mills. In
1944 he was transferred to Lakshmi
Wadi sugar mills near Kopergoan and
became an ardent devotee of Baba and
visited Shirdi frequently. On 27th
May, on his visit to Shirdi he fell
ill and Doctors were called to treat
him. He lay with his eyes closed and
would open them at times only to look
at Baba's Photo. Then embracing Baba's
photo and he said "Baba, Sai
Baba' and smilingly breathed his last.
The villagers loved him intensely and
they requested the Sansthan to build
his Samadhi in Shirdi

SAMADHI
OF BAHU MAHARAJ KUMBHARA |
|
|
|
This
Samadhi is adjacent to Nanavali's
Samadhi. Kumbhara
was
the kindhearted Baba devotee, who
loved children
and
trees alike. He was very unselfish,
and would give
away clothes
and food that were given to him by the
villagers.
He
took samadhi on 27th April, 1938. His
devotees celebrate
his
punyatithi in Chaitra Maas by doing
Anna Daan.

OF TATYA KOTE PATIL |

|
|
Tatya,
the beloved son of Baijamaa took
Samadhi in 1945.
He and
Baba had a very loving relationship.
Although outwardly
they
had a
playful
relationship, Tatya let his home to sleep
in
Dwarakamai with Baba for fourteen
years. Baba on the
other
hand is said to have 'given up His
life for Tatya' on Vijayadashami,
