One evening a person named Savalram of Gwalior came to him and said that his son was missing from home. So himself and his wife were greately distressed in mind. Doctor having full faith in Shri Sai Baba told him "Go to Shirdi. Take darshan of Sal". Then you would surely see your son" Savalram made a wow at once, that if news of the boy's where abouts were received, he would go to Shirdi for darshan. After some time a letter was received from the boy who was in Mesopotamia, which stated that he joined the army without telling anyone and that he was returning to India.

Savalram went to Shirdi took Baba's darshan and delivered the rupee. Baba received and kept for sometime and returned the rupee to Savalram saying "Give him his rupee". The doctor's idea was to get it back as Prasad. Baba knowing that He returned the coin. Savalram returned to Gwalior and told the doctor that he had taken darshan of Baba and that his boy's health had improved and added that Baba returned the rupee to him. The doctor took the rupee in his hand. On taking the rupee in his hand, he felt that it was not the coin he sent. So he told to Savalaram to take it back to Shirdi for that it was not his coin. Savalram was much perturbed in mind and took back the coin. Next day he went to doctor Hate with a. different rupee. When that was placed in doctor's hand, he indentified it as his own. Savalram told that by his wife's mistake (of substitution) he had given the doctor the wrong coin. Surrender Shri Sai Completely ! Stupendous Delectation and Delivervance be there!! 99. HOW BABA SAVED SHRI KAKASAHEB DIXIT AND SANTHARAM MORESHWAR PHANSE FROM THE TIGER IN A JUNGLE. On 31-3-1915, myself and Santharam Moreshwar Phanse were going on Government work through a thick jungle in a bullock cart at night. We packed from Dahanu Taluka through Ranshet pass., the bulls of our cart' became restive. The cart itself pushed backwards. We tried to find out the reasons, but could not discover it. Beyond this place, there was a precipice. On the left side in front of carriage, beyond the road, an axle pin was broken and visible. If the cart would shalce then the whole of the cart would roll back and fall on us. Mean while Santharam pointed out his finger at something. I looked in front. There was a fierce tiger with its face to the south and its tail to the north. It started at the cart. If we did not get down on the back side of the cart and direct the wheel by the hand, if the bulls were only a bit terrified, then the cart could roll down the hill side. If we got down the cruel creature in front of us was ready to jump on us with open mouth. Phanse was bold by nature. He told me to hold the reins of the bulls. I had not the courage to sit and hold the reins. Out of the two bulls one bent its knees and fell on the ground as though its legs were broken. I could not see what was to be done. My throat became dry and was strained. By Purva Punya, I felt that Sai would do the right and Sai Baba would save us from the danger. I shouted while in the carriage "Jaya Shri Sai Baba. Run up". Then the tiger got up, turned its face towards our cart and jumped away on our right side. I continued to shout aloud when the tiger passed by. Our bulls were terrified and they began to ran fast. Thus made us escape from the danger. Instead of saying so, it is better to say that the "Namasmaran of our Sadguru Saved us."

The Maharaj got angry with him and given him two books, one the Saritra of Shri Akkalkot Maharaj and the other Ekanath Bhagawat and asked him to read them. He read them and questioned his father whether there was any such Maharaj. His father replied that there was Shri Sai Baba Shirdi. Vaman Rao came to Baba's darshan first in 1911. At the very first instance on seeing Vaman Rao, Baba told him "why are you worrying that there is God or not God". There is God. Vaman Rao joined the Solicitors firm in 1913. He came to Shirdi in 1913 when there was vacation holidays for the Court. On the expiry of leave, he requested Baba for permission to go to Bombay, but Baba has not permitted him to go nearly for one year on one plea or other.

Afterwards Baba given him permission to go. He came to Shirdi again in 1916 all on a sudden when he came to the railway station to send off his friend for Shirdi Baba told Vaman Rao that he was expected him at Shirdi.

BABA'S MAGNANIMITY IN ALLOWING OTHER SAI BABA'S TO ACT AS HIMSELF EVEN IN HIS TIME. When the Almighty Shri Sai Baba was in flesh and blood, there were other Sai Babas. One Sai Baba was in Kopargaom, called as Kopargaom Sai Baba; One Sai Baba was in Bandra called as Bandra Sai Bab a; One Sai Baba in Nagpur called as Nagpur Sai Baba. They were all telling to the devotees that they were Shri Sai Baba and thereby making their own ends to meet. Even knowing all their acts and affairs, Baba tolerated and allowed them to go on in their own way as He pretty knew the ins and outs of their actions. Gradually, all Sai Babas were vanished without name and place, but the Almighty Shri Sai Baba Shirdi has thrown out His mortal body on 15-10-1918 and acting more vigorously to help His devotees even after His Mahasamadhi and remained Immortal Hereafter, we may read how Baba helped His devotees after His Mahasamadhi.
