Shirdi Diary Of GS Kharpade: Sai's Permission To Go To Amrawati Or Not?

2-1-1912

I got up very early in the morning. Upasani's brother who came yesterday went away before day-break. After I finished my prayer Kaka Mahajani, Atre, and others went. More went later on. C.V. Vaidya went after midday Arti with three other gentlemen.

Nanasahib Chandorkar held a Dhanurmas and all were invited. After meals it was a that C.V. Vaidya went; Manker, Mamledar of Kopargaon and Dev, Mamledar of Dahanu, also went then.

Later on after sunset Nanasahib Chan dorkar went with all his family. So the Wada which during these few days used to look full and very pleasant is comparatively empty now and we miss company. We saw Sai Maharaj when he came out for a stroll and again at Shej Aarti.

My son Baba and Gopalrao Dorle came this morning to take me to Amraoti. I said my departure depended on the permission of Sai Maharaj. They saw Sai Maharaj and said there was no difficulty about the permission. Bhishma is not well to-day, so there was no Bhajan.

Ram Maruti wished to go away to day but Sai Baba detained him. There was Ramayan and Bhagvat read at night.
