1910 December 5 Monday (Manmad – Shirdi)

Last night I and my son Baba left by 10.15 P.M. train as proposed.

Purandare, Pathare, Dhaujisha, his woodman, Bapu and others came to the station to see us off and the first two brought flowers.

I slept as soon as I got into my compartment though I was awakened often.

We reached Manmad about 9 A.M. today and stayed at the Railway station till nearly 1 P.M.

I met one or two young men, on the station staff who very kindly helped us with things.

One Haripant of Yeola also met us. In the train to Copargaon, we met an Englishman who appeared exceptionally good mannered and obliging.

We reached Copargaon station about 2 P.M. hired two conveyances, one for things and the other for ourselves to travel in.

Bhaskar Rao assisted us with tongas and gave us guavas to eat at his house and accompanied us to Shirdi, which we reached about 4 P.M.

We put up in the wada built for the convenience of people by Mr Chandkar.

Madhavrao Deshpande was very obliging and helped us and treated us like guests.

There are in the Wada Tatyasaheb Nulkar with his family, Bapusaheb Jog and Babasaheb Sahasrabuddhe. 

We all went to see Sayin Maharaj soon after our arrival.

He was in the Masjid. After salutations I and my son offered the fruits brought by us and gave some money at his request.

The Sayin Saheb then said that he has not been well for the last two years and more, that he used to eat only barley cake and take a little water.

He showed his foot and pointed to a small sore, said it was the string worm, that it was extracted but the string snapped and then it reappeared and so on.

He said he heard that it would not be well with him till he went to his native town.

He said he kept it in view but that was all, he cared more for his people than even for his own life.

He said he found no rest as people troubled him. It could not be helped.

Then he told us to withdraw which we did.

Towards evening he passed by the wada and we went and saluted him.

I and Madhavrao Deshpande were together. After we saluted he “Go to the wada and sit quiet.”

So I and Madhavrao returned. We all sat talking. They have many miracles to relate.

I, Baba and Babasaheb Sahasrabuddhe had something to eat at night and after I returned to bed, a strange thing happened.

The wife of Das Ganu who has written the “Arvachim Sant lilamrit” and known as Tai came and lay down by my side.

I do not know how long she lay like this. When I woke up I found her and was very much surprised.

I requested her to go and from what she said I made out that she was insane.

So I woke up Madhavrao Deshpande who took her to another part and told her to sleep there on pain of being beaten.
