SAI's QUOTE -: SAI HAD VISITED A DEVOTEE HOUSE IN HIS SUBTLE FROM .

            LEELA OF SAI 

                                                      Both Sri and Srimati S.N.pradhan were devotee of Sri Sai Baba but they had not visited Shirdi . They were financially hard -pressed . They thought that Baba did not grace them with any experience . After reading Sai Satcharitra they were anxious to visit Shirdi but there was the financial constraint staring at their face . Once Sri pradhan fell ill .On 10th Nov 1953 before retiring to bed at night he fervently prayed to Baba to create a congenial situation for the couple to go Shirdi . Smt pradhan too was more eager to visit Sri Sai Samadhi . 

       Next-day in the morning Smt pradhan entered her kitchen to prepare chapattis and while opening the lid of the butter can , she noticed the clear footprints of Sai Baba mysterious impressed on the lid.Soon their neighbours (who was not a Sai devotee ) came and described to Smt . pradhan how during the previous night She dreamt that SAI BABA , whose picture she had seen in Smt . Pradhan's puja room , tried to enter her ( the neighbours ) house and how She drove the FAKIR out and how the Fakir then went into the house of Smt Pradhan . Adding two and two together , 

        Smt pradhan got confirmation that the footprint on the lid of the butter can were indeed that of the God of her adoration -Sri Sai Baba . Both she and the ailing Sri Pradhan then realized that even without their visiting Shirdi , they were sheltered by the grace of the great and compassionate Baba . Baba have visited their house in his subtle from the abode of the Adepts where he is after his Mahasamadhi .
