Baba Manifested Himself like a Cartwala Tested the Faith and Helped Shri Rama-krishna Ganpat Rao Kothare of Mahim, Bombay.

Shri Ramakrishna Ganpat Rao Kottare of. Mahim, Bombay and his father used to visit Shirdi often and often during Baba's time and also after Baba's Samadhi. In 1919 during the rainy season they proceeded to Shirdi from Mahim and came to Kopargaom railway station. But there was heavy floods in Godavari river at Kopargaom. No conveyance was available to cross the river. The Station Master advised them not to go to Shirdi in these floods. On hearing this, they simply sat by uttering Sai's name. At this time, a tall and lean man with Alpi coat and a stick in hand came to them and told them why are you people want to go to Shirdi? The mad man there has died. Shri Ganpat Rao told him not to tell all these tales, I however want to go to Shirdi Baba will help us. Then the tall man brought his cart, got them inside the cart and driven to Shirdi. On the way, the tall man uttered always the words Maya, Mithya, Brahma etc., as a mad man. The cart came to Kopargaon Town. As there is floods in Godavari River it was not possible to cross the river the tall man made them to get down near a Brahman's house and went away without demanding any money from them. He was not turned up till they started to cross the river by boat after 3 P. M., when the water lessened in the river. On the other side of the river, they came to Shirdi late in the night and stayed in' Dixit wada. They were alone in the wada. They stayed the night there and in the morning they got the darshan of Baba and returned to Kopargaom and gone to the Brahmin's house and enquired about the cart tall man. The Brahmin told them that the cart man was not belonged to Kopargaom and added that he was under the impression He belonged to you man. All have decided that this occurrence was nothing but Baba's leela to test their faith.
