Resurrection of a Dead Body

A village kirtan, a threatening challenge, and a story remembered as a sign of Sai Baba’s power

The chapter

Dasganu Maharaj was asked to perform a kirtan in a nearby village, and Baba instructed him to take Jyotindra along. During the performance, a group carrying a dead body challenged Dasganu to prove the power of the Sai photograph and the kirtan.

Jyotindra urged Dasganu to invoke Sai Baba through his devotional singing. The account then describes a dramatic change in the situation around the body, turning a threatening challenge into an experience remembered as Baba’s grace.

The chapter presents Dasganu’s kirtan as both devotional offering and a means through which faith became visible to those present.
