JAI SAI

RINANUBANDHA : Part II : Raghuvir B.Purandhare : On Purandhare's very first visit to Shiridi in 1909 SHRI SAI told his mother ," I AM CONNECTED WITH YOUR SON ( Purandhare ) FOR SEVEN CENTURIES. I WILL NOT

FORGET HIM, I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM EVEN IF HE IS 2000 MILES AWAY FROM ME . I WILL NOT EAT EVEN A BIT WITHOUT HIM ." Such was the strong Rinanubandha between SAI and Purandhare ( Bhau)

that the latter bore all abuses verbal and physical from SAI . One might expect any other perrson to leave SAI but Bhau's love for HIM grew stronger & stronger. The story of the Plakhi where a stubborn Bhau kept on making it in

spite of SHRI SAI's every attempt to spoil it is an example. In the end SAI relented just out of love for for Bhau. HE said reffering to Bhau , " IF A CHILD PASSES STOOLS ON OUR THIGH, DO WE KILL THE CHILD OR CUT THE

THIGH ? WE HAVE SIMPLY TO PUT UP WITH IT ." On a mere monthlYysalary of Rs 35 , SAI made Bhau build a house.
