The Importance of Sai Satcharita
Hemadpant wanted to write a Satcharita on Sai Baba as a upasana after seeing Baba and being moved by Baba’s spirituality and love for devotees. He consulted Shama, who said ‘Without Baba’s consent, nothing can be done successful” (Chapter 2)
Shama requested Baba for His approval to write the Satcharita. Baba then said, “Let him make a collection of stories and experiences. Keep notes and memos. I will help him. I Myself will write My life and satisfy the wishes of My devotees. I shall enter him and Myself write the Satcharita. Hearing My stories and Teachings will create faith in devotees hearts and they will easily get self realization and bliss” (Chapter 2)
When Hemadpant touched Sai Baba’s feet, it began a new lease of life (in 1910). He felt much obliged to those who helped him to get the darshan and considered them his true relatives. (Chapter 2)
Baba named Govindrao Raghunath Dabholkar as “Hemadpant” and addressed him as such! Baba’s naming Hemadpant was prophetic as he created this lovely work on Sai Baba. (Chapter 2)
