Shirdi Sai Satcharitra Chapter 37 - English Audiobook
This chapter covers the following:
In this chapter, Hemadpant describes the Chavadi procession.
Preliminary

Blessed is Sai’s life and His daily routine; His ways and actions are indescribable. At times, He was intoxicated with Brahmanand (divine joy) and at other times content with knowledge of the self. Despite doing so many things, He was not concerned with them at all. Though He seemed at times physically motionless, He was not idle or asleep. He always abided in His own Self. Though He looked as calm and quiet as the placid sea, He was deep and unfathomable. Who can describe His ineffable nature? He regarded men as brothers and women as sisters and mothers. He was a perfect and perpetual celibate. May the knowledge we got through His acquaintance last us unto our death. Let us always serve Him with wholehearted devotion to His feet. Let us see Him (God) in all beings and let us always love His name.

Hemadpant, after making some lengthy dissertations on some topics in the Vedanta, which he himself considers a digression, goes on to describe the Chavadi procession.

The Chavadi Procession

Baba’s dormitory has already been described. Every alternate day, he slept in the Chavadi (a small building containing a room or two near the Masjid). This alternate sleeping routine in both these buildings continued till Baba’s Mahasamadhi. From the 10th of December 1909, devotees began to worship Baba in the Chavadi. We will now describe this, with His grace. When it was a night that Baba would be spending in the Chavadi, people flocked to the Masjid and sang bhajans in the courtyard of the Masjid for a few hours. Behind them was a beautiful Ratha (small horse-drawn cart), to the right a Tulsi-vrindavan (a decorative structure with a Tulsi plant in it) and in front of Baba, devotees who were fond of singing devotional songs. Some played on various musical instruments while singing. Sai Baba was the magnet Who drew all the devotees to Him. Outside the courtyard, some held their torches, some decorated the palanquin, while others stood with canes in their hands and shouted out cries of victory to Baba. The corners of the Masjid were decorated with buntings. All around the Masjid, rows of burning lamps shed their light. Baba’s horse, Shyamakarna, stood fully decorated outside. Then Tatya Patil came with a party of men to Baba and asked Him to be ready. Baba sat quietly in his place till Tatya came and helped Him to get up, by putting his arm under Baba’s arm-pit. Tatya called Baba, Mama(maternal uncle); In reality, their relationship was extremely close. Baba wore the usual kafni(long robe), placed His short stick under His arm-pit and after picking up His tobacco-pipe and tobacco, and placing a cloth over His shoulder, was ready to start. Then Tatya draped Baba in a beautiful golden-embroidered shawl. After this, Baba moved the bundle of firewood lying behind him, with His right toe. And then, after extinguishing the burning lamp with His right hand, started for the Chavadi. Then all sorts of musical instruments played and fireworks exhibited their different colors and sounds. Men and women singing Baba’s name started walking and singing bhajans to the accompaniment of musical instruments. Some danced with joy and some carried various flags. Men announced Baba’s name when He stood on the steps of the Masjid. To either side of Baba, stood persons who fanned Baba with large hand fans. The path on which Baba walked was covered with layers of cloth. Tatya held His left hand and Mhalasapati the right, while Bapusaheb Jog held a decorative umbrella over His head. In this fashion, Baba marched on to the Chavadi. The fully decorated horse, Shyamakarna, led the way and behind him were all the carriers, waiters, musicians and the crowd of devotees. Hari-nama (the name of the Lord), chanted to the accompaniment of music, filled the skies, as also did the name of Sai. In this manner, the procession reached the corner, when all the persons that joined this party seemed pleased and delighted.

On reaching this corner, Baba stood facing the Chavadi and shone with a peculiar luster. It seemed as if Baba’s face glittered like dawn or like the glory of the rising sun. Baba stood there with a concentrated mind, facing the north, as if He was calling somebody......

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

My feet got entangled in a book stand on which satcharitra books were kept in a temple and that was the first time my eyes fell on the book and I picked up to read it. I could literally feel that my body is shedding the negativity and I cried and cried with joy and experienced this feeling. Baba drew me like a sparrow. Jai Sairam. Baba please grant our kids with the jobs of their choice. I'm praying Baba.
