Who Was The Old Man

Aum Sairam

Babu Rao Tukaram Kakade of Satara narrated his experience as Follows:

In 1946,he started for Shirdi with his wife and children to attend Guru
Poornima. Rains were pouring in at and near Shirdi.He took the evening
train at Poona and reached Kopergoan around 2.30 am,he knew none. Rains
were pouring. He was helpless. Suddenly an old man came to him and
asked him "What are you praying for?"Kakade answered, "I
wish to go to Shirdi". The old man took him and his family and engaged
a Tonga to go to Shirdi and suddenly disappeared when Kakade got into
the carriage. Kakade then turned to thank him but could find no trace
of him. When the Tonga reached Godavari, there was plenty of water in
the river. The Tonga driver did not wish to take the risk of crossing
the river with occupants in it. Some other person appeared there and
asked Kakade and wife to ford the river by walking. As for the two
children. The stranger carried them in his arms till the other bank was
reached. The Tonga stemmed the river freed from the human weight. Then
Kakade turned to thank him but the stranger had left the children on
the bank and disappeared."

Sri Sai Baba confirms from the above incident "If you cast your burden
on me, I shall surely bear it" Did not Baba Sai provide water to
Chandorkar on harischandra hills in the guise of a Bhill? What is
impossible for Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient Sri Sai?
