1912 19^th January Friday (Shirdi)

This was a very sad day. I got up very early & after finishing my prayers discovered that it yet wanted an hour or so to day break.

So I lay down and was aroused for Kakad Arti by Bapusaheb Jog. Dixit Kaka told me that Megha died about 4 a.m.

The Kakad Arti was done but Sayin Maharaj did not show his face clear & did not appear to open his eyes.

He never threw any glances spreading grace. After we returned arrangements were made for the cremation of Megha ’s body.

Sayin Baba came just as the body was being brought out and loudly lamented his death. His voice was so touching that brought tears to every eye.

He followed the body up to the bend in the made road near the village & then went his usual way.

Megha ’s body was taken under the Bada tree & consigned to flames there.

Sayin Baba could be distinctly heard lamenting his death even at that distance & he was seen waving his hands & swaying as if in arti to say goodbye.

There was a good supply of dry fuel & flames soon rose very high.

Dixit Kaka, myself Bapusaheb Jog, Upasani, Dada Kelkar & all else here were there & praised the lot of Megha that his body was seen & touched by Sayin Baba on the head heart & shoulders & feet by him.

After finishing the ceremonies we ought to have sat praying but Bapusaheb Jog came & I sat talking with him.

When later I went to see Sayin Baba, he asked me how I spent the afternoon I was very sorry to confess that I had wasted it in talking. This was a lesson to me.

I remembered how Sayin Baba foretold his death three days ago “This is the last arti of Megha,”

How Megha felt that he had completed his service and was passing away, how he shed tears to think that he could not see Sathé whom he regarded as his Guru, and how he directed that the cows of Sayin Baba should be let loose.

He never expressed any other wish. We all admired his life of extreme devotion & I was sorry that I did not rest in prayer but listened to meaningless talk.

Bhishma & my son Balvant are not well. So there was no Bhajan.

Dixit Kaka read Ramayan at night. Gupte his brother & their families left this morning for Bombay.
