LEELA OF SAI

                                           When Saibaba first come to Shirdi ,he stayed with a Muslim man called Amanbhai who gave him food, according to a retired revenue officer named Raghuji Patel . The story was remembered and passed down through his family because , though Amanbhai ,a young relative who was very sick at the time , was cured by a young Sai Baba , who came to the house and administrated cobra poison to him as medicine . This was in the early years before he relied on UDI ash as a curative . It is unlikely that Amanbhai , a Muslim would invite a non-Muslim to his home and give him food . According to the biographers , when Sai Baba returned to Shirdi he lived for some four or five years under a New(Margosa) tree . 

                                               For the first few years it is recorded that Sai Baba also wandered around and lived for long periods in the jungle in the environs of Shirdi .
