These have separately been published in the Sai Leela Magazine. ![]() In chapters 31, 32 and 33 of the Bhakta Leelamrit and in chapter 57 of the Santa Kathamrit, the sweet life and teachings of Sai Baba are very well depicted. The latter wrote four works: Bhakta Vijaya, Santa Vijaya, Bhakta Leelamrit and Santa Kathamrit. Similarly, in 1800 Shaka year, Das Ganu’s service was accepted. Saints inspired him and got the work done. For instance, in 1700 Shaka year, the poet Mahipati aspired to write about the lives of saints. The saints inspire the work and the devotee becomes merely an indirect cause or instrument to achieve this end. The most famous poet-saint of Maharashtra, Shri Jnaneshwar Maharaj, has stated that the Lord loves those who write about the lives of saints The saints also have a peculiar method of getting the service, which the devotees long for, successfully accomplished. I knew that this was the most venturous of undertakings and that it might expose me to ridicule. One may as well measure the depth of the water of the seven seas or enclose the sky with cloth. Hemadpant initially believed that he was not fit to undertake this work He said, “I do not know the life of my intimate friend and nor do I even know my own mind then how can I write the life of a saint or describe the nature of Incarnations, which even the Vedas were unable to do? One must be a saint himself, before he could know other saints then how can I describe their glory? To write about the life of a saint is the most difficult of undertakings. Incapacity and Boldness in Undertaking the Work So I began to write about the sacred life and teachings of Sai Baba The life of the saint is neither logical nor dialectical. I also thought that the description of these grand miracles would be interesting and instructive to Baba’s devotees and would destroy their sins. And this delight inspired me to write this poetic work. I also heard about some more miracles of Sai Baba, to my great delight. In the first chapter, I described Sai Baba’s miracle of checking and destroying the epidemic of Cholera, by grinding wheat and throwing the flour on the outskirts of the village.
