JAI SAI

When Lokmanya Tilak visited Shiridi on 19.05.1917, he sought SHRI SAI's blessings for his struggle to achieve Independence for India. SHRI SAI told Tilak, " YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE A LOT FOR THE PEOPLE, ITS TIME YOU TAKE REST NOW " Tilak however, was a bit disapointed to hear these words from HIM .But SAI's prophesy came true. Already a victim of acute diabetes, Tilak fell ill & passed awai in 1920. Likewise in a similr case , Wasudev Phadke who vowed to free India from British rule , sought the blessings of SWAMI SAMARTH OF AKKALKOTE who told him, " BROTHER YOUR TIME HAS NOT YET COME ". Saying this Swami Samarth called on of HIS devotees to place Balwant's sword on a tree insted of blessings it & returning the same to him. Despite Swami Samarth's advice to the contrary, Balwant went ahead with his freedom struggle but was caught.tried in a court & imprisoned at Aden where he died in 1883 aged only 38.
