After he had left Nasik a gang of Bhils boarded the running train and entered into the compartment where kadam was sitting with his wife and children . Kadam was reading a book of holy songs . Thinking the Bhils were interested in listening to the songs he started reading them louder . The gang waited there for about five minutes and then left the running train one by one in the same way as they had entered into it .  The wonderful part of this story was that Mr Kadam saw a Fakir sitting in front of him , as the gang boarded the running train and then as soon as they left the train the Fakir disappeared , no one knew where .

                        LEELA OF SAI            THE leela of SAI are unfathomable .The deeper a devotee delves , the more intensely does he get soaked in his Divine Love . SAI took Samadhi on 15 October , 1918 ,and left his mortal coil . His BHAKTAS could no longer touch him or see His physical form and were extremely saddened by Baba's passing away . But the kind and merciful Baba ,as a sign of His remembrance , left for his BHAKTAS the precious and sacred 'UDI ' . Also known commonly among His BHAKATAS as 'ash' , this was Baba's greatest gift to humanity .

   LEELA OF SAI            The teaching of SAI during 1886 to 1905 did not include Vedas and Vedic karmakanda . He did not preach even the rigours of yoga sadhana . When the Guru shines with full lustre ,he does not take recourse to rituals or karmic practices prevalent among mechanical and professional priests and middleman who preach themselves as agents of religion . Guru is the giver of fruits of all karmas . He is idol of Satchitananda , which is the final destination of all sadhanas and practices .

          LEELA OF SAI                Just seeing Baba's effulgent form in the Samadhi Mandir destroys all our sins . Shedding tears of love cleanses the impact of all negative SAMSKARAS and Karmas .

So , Cherish and live to the fullest , every moment of joy spent in the Samadhi Mandir .

" So let us not get deluded by the tests of their duration and hold our ground firm .              Now ,to add shine to your gold , heat it in fire , yes ,to strengthen your faith in Baba , add to it a lot of patienc...
