JAI SAI

Shri Kashinath K. Garde, subjudge of Nagpur, was advised in 1908 by his guru Bidkar Maharaj to visit Shiridi. But he could make the trip only in 1913 ( When he was then Sub-Judge of Khamgaon ) during the May vacation. As soon as Garde met SHRI SAI the latter on HIS own said , " Welcome RAMDAS," These words reminded Garde of his guru Ramanand Bidkar Maharaj. SHRI SAI asked dakshina from Garde and when the latter gave almost everything with very little remaining (0-3-6), SAI took that also saying " WHY KEEP THAT BALANCE ? GOD WILL PROVIDE YOU PLENTY ." Before visiting Shiridi , Garde purchased 3 mangoes
at Pune for pesenting to SAI . SAI was happy to have received such a gift from Garde & after ordering them to be cut for distributing , He remarked, " THESE FRUITS ARE PURE & SO IT IS THE DEVOTION. IN SHARP CONTRAST,
THE LADDUS OFFERED BY A PANDIT Y,DAY WERE NOT SO DELICIOUS AS THEY WERE PARTLY EATEN ON THE WAY."
