Bhaskar Sadasiv Satam
Hindu Mahratta, Sub-Inspector of Police, Lamington Road, Bombay
I joined the force as an ordinary Co., in 1911 and rose to the position of S.I. About 1930, I met Nagesh Atmaram Samant, who spoke to me about Sai Baba. I told him I would go to Shirdi. But for years I did not. In 1940, both of us were at Nargam Training School. I had then some misfortunes resulting in the loss of my job. I was suspended on 16-2-1940. I prayed to Baba while under suspension. Udhi and prasad from Shirdi were wanted and sent to me. Prasad was received but not udhi though Sagun Rao Meru Naik sent both. It is after that I received the dismissal order on 28-2-40. Samant wanted me to go to Shirdi unconditionally. I and my son came on last Ramnavami here, and prayed to Baba. We spent only 2 days here. On my return, at Dadar, I met a constable and he said that I was reinstated and posted to Lamington Road. But no such order could have been passed then. On 28-4-49, I appealed. On 14-5-49 the order passed was “Reinstated and posted to Lamington Road”. Baba’s decision and come from the constable’s mouth two month’s earlier.
I had debts to clear. I prayed to Baba and he sent me some money. I an now free from debt and I am well-provided. I prayed to Baba only for this state of happy freedom.

“OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI”
“My eye (of vigilant supervision) is ever on those who love me. Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind, that I am always aware of everything you do.”
SAI BABA
