Amolchand Chandraban Sait

Sowcar, Age 35, Rahata

8th March, 1938

I have seen Baba coming to my house and my cousin Khusal Bhav’s (which is next to my house). He visited us even 3 days before his Mahasamadhi. He looked healthy then. He used to take light refreshment in our houses and stay there 15 to 30 minutes and then go away. My elder cousin Kushal Bhav, who died on 5-11-'18 has told, me that Sai Baba lived in a chavadi (now in ruins) at Rahata for some months or so, that previously Sai Baba lived with a Moslem saint some Ali (Akbar Ali perhaps) whose portrait is still kept in our gin (i.e.) “Rahatekar’s gin” near Wadia Park at Ahmednagar and that Dalu sait had seen Baba with the Saint at Ahmednagar and that Baba came from Ahmednagar to live at Rahata and then went to live at Shirdi.

My father Chandraban Sait died on 13-12-1911. His elder brother was Ramchandra Sait, who died in 1860. Ramachandra’s son is Khusal Bhav. He has only a widow left now (and so on) and she lives at Ahmednagar. My father’s younger brother was Brijichand, whose son Premchand (Premchand Brijichand Rahatekar) is a sowcar, aged 60, living at Shahgunj at Aurangabad. He knows about Baba. I have photos of my father and of Khusal Bhav. Khusal Bhav was 47 years older than myself and died at the age of 62. Daula Sait saw Sai Baba at Ahmednagar with Ali (Akbar Ali).
