Baba Reminds the Vows His Disciples Forgot

Several devotees used to visit the Masjid to have Darshan of Baba. They would bring their favourite food items vowed and offer them as customary naivedya to Baba. Baba used to distribute all the food items brought to Him. Sometimes He did not touch the offerings placed before Him by a devotee; but, at times, He accepted and relished the dishes bought by other devotees.

 

Tharkad's wife sent a sweet for Baba with Govinda Balaram Mankar who was going to Shirdi. In fact that sweet was already offered to God; since no sweet was found in the house, Mrs. Tharkad had sent the sweet already offered to God. Mankar came to Shirdi but forgot to offer the sweet. Baba asked him "What have you brought for Me"? Mankar kept quiet. Baba repeated the question in the evening. "Has not my mother sent anything for Me"? By directly questioning so, Mankar remembered the sweet to be given to Baba. On another occasion, Tarkad's wife sent two brinjals with Purandar's wife for Baba. She asked her to fry one brinjal and mix the other one in curd and offer it to Baba. Purandar's wife has minced and mixed a brinjal in curd and offered it to Baba. Amazingly, Baba asked for the fried brinjal slices. He knew the depth of devotion in the heart of a devotee and, therefore, He used to remind the vows of His beloved devotees, accepted the offerings and blessed them.
