Baba identifying himself as Ganesh

A Lady from Bandra (Mumbai) came and sat before baba with chronic headache. Which was troubling her for more than seven years. She did not ask Baba to cure it. Baba the antargyani who knows every thing going on saw that she was suffering from headache.

Baba touching and gently stroking her head asked her “Your head is aching. Is it not?”

The chronic headache left her at once and for-ever and the lady replied that it was aching previously but now it has ceased.

So Baba cured her of her headache without her ever asking or requesting Baba to cure her.

Continuing the discussion further Baba told her that she had been feeding him so well all these years. But the lady was wondering how she had been feeding Baba when she was seeing him for the first time. And asked Baba how can that be when I am seeing you for the first time. Baba then replied that He knows her since her childhood and the Lady was more puzzled. Baba to confirm that, asked her what god was worship in her house and she replied Ganapathy, Baba then asked her what god she was worshiping in her mothers house she again replied Ganapathy. Then the lady said that she has been feeding Ganapathy with fruits and eatables and Baba said that all that has come to Him. So here Baba identified Himself with Ganapthy.

The lady further asked Baba, people say that my Ganapathy is right handed and besides, one hand is broken and so they say it must be thrown away. Is that right?. Then Baba replied “If your child breaks its arm, will you cast it into water? Worship it daily.”.

So from the above story we can conclude again that Baba knows our problems even without our telling Him and He takes care of us all the time.

Baba as Dog

Baba as a dog and sickly Sudra: Kasinath Govind Upasani Maharaj (KGU) who lived at Shirdi in 1911-14, prepared his food which a black dog was watching. Offering nothing to the dog, K.G.U. went to the masjid and offered it to Baba. Baba: Why did you bring it here. I was there.
K.G.U. : Baba, there was none there, except a black dog. Baba :
I was that black dog.
Baba refused to accept food that day. Next day K.G.U. prepared his meal at his quarters and found no dog there. But a sickly Sudra was standing leaning on a wall and looking at the food. The orthodox K.G.U. drove him away from that place and brought the food to S.Baba.
S. Baba : Yesterday you did not offer me food. Today also you drove me away. Why bring the food here?
K.G.U.: Where were you there, Baba?
S.B.: I was leaning on the wall.
K.G.U.: What ! could you be in such a person?
S.B.: Yes I am in all things and beyond.
Purusha Sukta
i.e. He pervades the earth and transcends it.
