Sainath is a mother who sometimes....


Sainath is a mother who sometimes does not get angry on our actions but bears it just like a mother whose love makes her over look our mistakes. Shri Raghuvir Purandhare was a devotee of Shri Sainath who though often manhandled by Sai was yet not shaken a bit and continued to be as steadfast a devotee.
There are rumours examples to prove this when Purandhare was decorating Sai’s palki (palanquin) Shri Sainath removed all what Purandhere did and yet the latter just kept on doing his work undeterred. Scolding and beating were routine on part of Sai. A true bhakta (devotee) that he was, purandhare bore all this and finally Sai’s heart melted allowing him to complete the palki work undisturbed. Shri Sainath explained this as “what can be done? If our child passes stool on our thigh, should we cut it? No! We have to put up with it” this is referring to purandhares obstinacy in the work of the palki.  He was one devotee who despite earning meagre sum of money as a clerk was ordered by Sai to build a house of his own. Purandhare hesitated and even delayed but Sai was after him and his house was built.
