BABA LEAVES FOR HEAVEN
In 1916, SAI BABA gave an indication of leaving his mortal coil. People failed to understand him. 'It happened like this. On the most auspicious day i.e, on Vijaya Dashmi (Dasara) BABA all of a sudden became very wild in the evening. ;He took off all the -worn clothes (head dress, langoti, kafni) tore them up and threw in the burning dhuni. He stepped naked before Dhuni. His face became red. He shouted angrily to findout whether be was a muslim or Hindu. 'Everybody trembled and nobody was brave enough to come near. Atlast Bhagoji Shinde (the leper devotee)' came' near tied langoti and very coolly ask the strange behavior of BABA. BABA. struck the ground with-Sakta said that today is my Seemollanghan day (crossirg the border). At about 11 P,M he assumed normalcy,
Averting the death of Sri Ramachandra Patil, BABA said Tatya Paiiil would die on 15-10-1918 and urged to maintain sovereign secrecy As told by Baba Tatya Kote Patil fell sick and was bed ridden in the first fort night of October 1918. Baba was also suffering from fever. Both Tatya Kote and BABA became serious. Vijaya Dashmi dawned and Tatya Kote's position became very serious and there was no ray of his survival. Very strange and peculiar thing happened. Instead of Tatya Kote, BABA passed away on Tuesday 15-10-1918 at about 2-30 P.M. BABA exchanged death and saved the life of his beloved devotee Tatya Kote. Every body was taken away by an air of surprise. This incident is worth remembering in the history of the world, for this is first an perhaps last example BABA set up. Most unexpected, extraordinary and supernatural event for all of us to remember for ever. Here the reader and devotees feel and put a very pertinent question as why BABA exchanged death just for the sake of one devotee leaving many in sorrow ocean. The most convincing answer may perhaps be due to the meritourious services of Bayajabai. She was the mother of Tatya Kote and very faithful and a staunch devotee of BABA. She roamed in the jungle miles' together insearch of BABA, and forced BABA to take lunch. On repeated requests and insistence BABA used to consume eatables very gladly. BABA used to consume eatables very gladly. BABA recognised her services and remembered through out his life and in the last she was suitably rewarded by way of making her son Tatya Kote alive, Tatya Kota right from childhood days, used to roam for BABA with his mother and used to say BABA "Mama. Mama". BABA developed invincible and inexplicable love for Tatya Kote.
It is a general practice to hear the sacred books like Bhagavat Geetha, Ramayana before ones' departure. BABA being an avatar set up this practice. He ordered Mr. Vnze to read SHRI RAMA VIJAY on 15-10-1918. After arti BABA asked his devotees to leave the Masjid for taking meals. All left except Lakshmibai Shinde, Shama, Bhagoj Shinde, Bayaji, Laxman Bala Shimpi and Nana Sabeb, Nimonkar. BABA gave rupees nnie to his boloved devotee Laxmibhai Shinde just before passing away. He leaned on Bayaiji's body and breathed his last.
The news of BABA's passing away spread like wild fire in SHIRDI and all people men, women and children ran in to masjid and wept bitterly-Some became unconscious. Next day i.e. on Wednesday 16-10-1918 SAI BABA appeared in a dream to Laxman Mama Joshi the uncle of Shama and asked him to worship. Laxman Mama. who was an astrologer came with pooja material, and performed kakad arti with all due formalities. In the after noon Baba Saheb Jog performed roon arti as usual on 16-10-1918 "Wednesday in the evening BABA's body was taken in procession and brought to wada and was interred to there with due formalities in Garbha i.e. the central portion reserved for Murlidhar. BABA become the Murlidhar and the Wada a temple,
