Page 59 - My Father-Final Book

My father had one disciple named Mr. Gadgil. He went through many difficulties in his young days and his very old mother asked my father to protect her son. My father had given him guidance and also practices. His financial situation truly improved later and his sons were educated well. He used to go to Alandi temple, around 50 km from Pune, on bicyle. This was hard. He also wanted to visit Shirdi Temple. My father told him that he should continue his prayers and worships in the Parvati temple as it was near to his home and his wishes to get blessed by Shirdi Sai Baba would be fulfilled. He worshipped at the Parvati temple for a prolonged time and one day he noticed that the marble stone of the Parvati temple shrine was developing black spots. He continued to review these spots and after a prolonged period, these spots changed into a very clear sketch of Shirdi Sai Baba. He was delighted with this. My father told us that this miracle proves that Shirdi Sai Baba is always near Krishnanatha Maharaj. [Illustration 34: Shree Sai Baba's image that appeared on the tomb of shree Krishnanatha Maharaj]
