नरसिंह स्वामी से शब्दशः उद्धरण (1940 का दशक)

d to other in high praise of Sai Baba, and said “This (Baba) is a Chintamani”. Therefore, Nana Saheb Dengle went to Sai Baba and bowed at his feet, while he was seated at the foot of a Babul tree. Later on, Baba came to Shirdi and was living at the foot of a Margosa tree. Once, Baba himself spoke of that tree, that under it (i.e. its shade) was a tomb. Baba was living under that tree for 4 or 5 years. From the neem tree foot, he moved to the Mosque and made that his residence ever afterwards. Baba lived about 50 years here (i.e.) after his arrival. Baba did not do any wrestling. But Gangagir was first a wres tler, and he wrestled with Dondalgaon Patel, a Mahratta. In that engagement, he came off second best. He then gave up wrestling and became a Bua (i.e.) an ascetic. This was approximately about the time of Baba’s first arrival at Shirdi. Baba and Gangir recognized each other. I was throughout my life a wanderer. But every now and then I would return to Shirdi. So I know much of what I said above by hearing from others and verifying myself. I know a few remarkable facts about Baba.
