V. B. Nandwani
We were in the room on ground floor touching the road inside Sansthan compound
and parallel to Accommodation Office. Guru Padika Sthan. There is an L shaped
passage between the two rows of rooms. The entrance is from longer leg of L. The
shorter leg has the bath rooms and is closed at the other end. Thus anybody
going in or coming out must be seen by us if the door of our room is open.After
eating the " Dosas " my son went to wash the plate at the open tap fixed in the
line of bath rooms. Suddenly he rushed back to the room and said that someone
looking just like Baba was standing in the passage outside the bathrooms with a
stick in his hand and that he got frightened. He talked to me all this standing
on the threshold of the room, keeping the door open. I was sitting in such a
position that any body coming in or going out must be visible to me. I got up
immediately and went with him to the bathrooms' side and found none there. I
feel it was Shri SAI HIMSELF who gave him darshan. I did not see any one going
out of the passage. How could someone vanish like that, in thin air. None
dressed like that was staying in the other rooms.!On questioning, my son told me
that Kafni was torn on one arm and lower ends of it were frayed badly. He was
pointing with the stick (satka) towards the Samadhi Mandir.Then, afterwards at
about 6 p.m. my son quietly accompanied me to Samadhi Mandir, Dwarkamai and
Chawri and everywhere he bowed to Baba, as I did. During rest of the seven days
stay he was extremely happy and made many friends.
