The chapter
Sai Baba appeared to Shama in a dream and told him that Govardan’s mother had died, asking him to go and console the family. Shama went the next day and found Baba’s words true.
Kakasaheb Dixit records another prophecy concerning a woman whose illness was described in a letter. Baba said she would come to Him herself after four days; on the fourth day she passed away.
During Guru Purnima, Hemadpant and Moreshwar Pradhan were both without money. Baba sent Pradhan to Hemadpant for dakshina, even though everyone believed Hemadpant had none. A few minutes earlier, money had unexpectedly arrived for Hemadpant, showing that Baba knew what had happened.
The chapter also recounts a Brahmin saved from a death sentence and Chidambar Gadgil’s joy when Baba accepted worship offered to Him as Lord Ganesha.
