How Lakshmichand from Santacruz was drawn to Baba?
One devotee Lala Lakshmichand at Santacruz dreamt one night about a grand old saint in the company of his devotees. He was not able to identify the saint. On the same night, one of his friend, Sankar Rao, came to him and asked him whether he is willing to accompany him to Shirdi. He accepted the proposal, went to his uncle and obtained a hand loan of Rs.15/- In the train, they were enquiring about the leelas of Baba with the co passengers and singing some Bhajans. He desired to present some fruits to Saibaba. As they were travelling in the tonga, Lakshmichand was absorbed in the nice surroundings and completly forgot about the fruits. Meanwhile a old lady was running behind the tonga with a basketful of fruits. The tonga was stopped, and some fruits were purchased from her. The old woman told him to present the remaining fruits also to Saibaba and went away. Then Lakshmichand thought that probably Baba may be related to her. When they were nearing the Masjid, they saluted the flags. They reached Baba's presence. On seeing him, Baba told, "Mischivous fellow! what is the need for obtaining hand loan. During the journey, what is the need for enquiring about Him. Now, are you satisfied? Lakshmichand was really happy, and found that Baba knew his innermost thoughts. Two more incidents proved Baba's Omniscence and he was blessed by Baba with Rs.3/-stating, "Babu!, i have already given you Rs.2/- Now keep this Rs.3/- with instructions to keep it in the Puja and worship it. Then Lakshmichand reached his native place and narrated everything to his mother but he was not able to understand Baba's words that he was given Rs.2/- earlier. His mother thought over the issue and finally she could recollect one incident. As Lakshmichand was visiting Shirdi, his father used to visit Akkalkot Maharaj. He was a great saint. He gave your father Rs.2/- for keeping in the Puja. Your father worshipped them with care. Afterwards the coins were lost and the worship was discontinued. Now think about Baba's instructions and worship the coins with care. It was really a great revealation to Lakshmichand and he become a staunch devotee of Saibaba. Saisaran, Sairam.
