This would go on each day for about two months at a stretch it was very distressing.
Before this second visit he had been suffering what he called “half-headaches.”Īt sunrise half his head would start to ache agonizingly then a little before sunset it would stop. Dixit told me, he made his earliest visits to Shirdi first in the year 1909, and again in 1912.
Hari Dixit became a close devotee of Shirdi Baba. Dixit, was a solicitor in Bombay and a member of the Legislative Council. Dixit was born in 1897 to Sadashiv Dixit, an advocate who was at one time Diwan (Prime Minister) of the royal state of Kutch. Here’s how he realized that both the Sais are, in fact, the same, as related by Howard Murphet in his book, “Sai Baba: Man of Miracles.” Dixit had the unique privilege of seeing Shirdi Sai Baba when he visited Shirdi in 1909 as a young lad and later Sri Sathya Sai Baba in 1961 when he was past sixty. Dixit that He is same Shirdi Sai come again. In fact, He tells them, “I have known you for ten years,” or “Though this is the first time you see this sariram (body), I had seen you 20 years ago, when you came to Shirdi.” The person will find that he had been to Shirdi exactly 20 years previously! Here are some instances where devotees have had experiences that have convinced them of the identity of the two Sais. He recognizes all devotees of Shirdi Baba as His own. When someone asks Him a question today, He starts His reply sometimes with the remark, “The same doubt was raised by a man who had come to Shirdi” and He will continue the conversation with the reply He gave that other man long ago in Maharashtra! While telling people about Shirdi Baba, He may be heard saying, “Just as you have seen Me do now” or “Just as I do while in a trance,” to make the point clear. He often describes to His devotees how He ‘in His previous body’ dealt with people and situations, what illustrations He gave to clarify a certain point, what questions were asked, etc. Bhagavan invariably refers to Shirdi Sai Baba as ‘my previous body’ when He speaks about Him.
