Gurusthan
Feet at Gurusthan
9. Commemorating Sai’s cosmic descent,
Consecrated ‘padukas’ below the neem tree,
Eager devotees installed by Sai’s will,
In the year thousand nine hundred and twelve.

Hand in fire
16. Sanctified dhuni started one day to glow,
Stuck in Sai suddenly His hand Oh!
Surprised Shama saved the hand pale,
Sai narrated sacred a tale.
Baija Ma
19. Searching Sai amidst thorny shrubs,
Sumptuous food serve she will,
Baija Ma’s service Baba forgot never,
Blessed her son Tatya forever.
I reside in all
21. “Feeding a dog famished by hunger,
Factually amounts to feeding me full,
God is in Dog, so ‘Am in all,
Contemplate Tharkad” confessed Sai.
Sai’s swing
22. Hung from above arrayed in ugly rags,
Swing of a plank beset with lamps,
None could see Sai ascend or descend.
Night and day though crowd surround.
Haji Palki
23. Mecca return Plaki,
Made his way to Shirdi,
Made to sit in mantap away,
Months nine flew away.

Mule Shastri
25. Mule Shastri mused quietly,
Muslim Sai pollutes sanctity,
Moments later Mule saw there,
Muslim merge in Mahant Golap.
Bhima
26. Deadly consumption devoured Bhima,
Desparate Bhima prayed to Sai Ma,
Dreams two painful delivered to Bhima,
Delivered Bhima decisively from Yama.
Cholkar
29. ‘Off with sugar’ swore Cholkar silently,
‘Until my job sticks securely’,
‘Give him tea saturated with sugar’ said Sai,
Gave the proof that He is almighty Maai.
Lizard
30. ‘What does the lizard say?’
Wanted a devotee Baba to say,
‘Says she her sister from Aurangabad,
Shortly coming’ said Sai.
On came on horseback an Aurangabadi,
Out sprang a lizard from his bag.
Instant Brahma Jnan
31. ‘Enlighten me instantly in Brahmajan’,
Entreated a rich with money,
Sai then sought from many a five rupee,
But silent sat the seeker of Truth,
‘Eschew evils from sense organs five’ said Sai,
‘You! Who have wades of rupees five,
Madam Deshmuk
32. ‘Sathe secured in short seven days,
Sublime grace from Sai Samrat,
Seven years stay in Shirdi for self,
Secured nothing’ mused Pant in mind.
Ishopanishad
38. ‘Isha! Grant me wisdom to know,
Ishopanishad’ invoked Ganu,
‘Why worry when wisdom waits in,
Work-maid of Kaka’ wondered Sai.
Bala Mirirkar
41. ‘Know thy all this Dwaraka Mayi,
Knocker of disasters’ said Sai,
Kneel in her lap,
Nicely a second or two,
Never a harm shall,
Near any one of you.
Saviour Mayi as she,
Stands by you surely,
Can snake the dreaded devil,
Create ever any trouble?’

42. Baffled Bala beat his way to Chitale,
Barely sat in Bajaran Bali Mandir,
Sneaked on his lap a shining cobra,
Shaken Shama surrendered to Baba.
Kaka Dikshith
46. Commanded Sai to cut down a goat,
Curtly refused reputed disciples two,
As Dikshith steadied to deliver the blow,
Astounded Sai asked him to hold.
Ambedkar
48. Assailed by misfortune,
Ambedkar chose Shirdi,
Ultimately to end up his,
Assailed life in a well deep.
Came in Sakun Naik,
Gave a book on Akalkotji,
Came in handy there,
Crisp story to save.
Lady Khabarde
53. Madam Khabarde made for Sai sagun,
Manifold dishes for months seven,
Shama quipped on Sai’s subtle bias,
Sai spoke of her service eternal.

Kakaji Vaidya
Sanyasin Vijayanand
Udhi’s Excellence
62. Blessed is the udhi of Sai,
Blights it the fate with fatal blow,
Revered Sai commanded Ramgir Bua,
“Rush with udhi and ‘arthi sai baba’.”
Dr. Pillai
68. Pillai suffered painful guinea worms,
Prayed Baba to put off to births ten,
‘Behold my miracle! Beloved one!
Banish I will the bane in days ten!’ said Sai.

Crow-black Abdul ascended the wall,
Tripped on the wound, drove the worms out,
Ten days went, went off the disease.
Goa Gentleman
Chavadi Procession
75. On days alternative at Chavadi,
Arrived Sai for night ‘Arathi’,
On those acclaimed auspicious days,
All would gather at Sabha Mantap.
Baba’s ‘Hundi’
Deo’s Udyapaan
Holi feast
91. Once on “holi’ day in dream to Hemadpant,
Holy Sai promised to join his feast,
Midday neared with meals on plate,
Maharaj came as ‘bas-relief’ to eat.
Mahasamadhi
92. Sai decided to shed His coil and,
Start to live in sacred hearts,
Subtly revealed to unsuspecting folks,
Shilangan as His sail-away day.
