AN EXPERIENCE OF KRISHNAJI ALI BAGHKAR 

SHRI AKKALKOTKAR MAHARAJA is also a saint believed by so many people in the 19th century and they say that he is an incarnation of GOD DATTATREYA. KRISHNAJI is a devotee of AKKALKOTKAR MAHARAJA thought to visit AKKALKOT and worship him. That night he got a dream and SHRI AKKALKOTKAR MAHARAJA said " Son! now I am presently in SHIRIDI.you don't go to  AKKALKOT, visit SHIRIDI and worship me as you wish  and do all Pooja over there only".So he went SHIRIDI and worshiped BABA. This moment is happiest and strange one in KRISHNAJI life so he thought to ground the foot marks of SHRI SAI NATHA as a token of happiness. He shared the idea with his friends and they all decided to ground the foot marks where BABA was first appeared and that is under neem tree. A copy of foot marks was carved with wood. They showed them to SHRI UPAASANI BABA who stays in SHIVA MANDIR, he made some changes and to bring awareness of SHRI SAI NATHA divinity and yoga power he gave them a SLOKA and told to carve those letters also

                         
                                       "   సదా  నింబవ్రిక్షస్య మూలది వాసాత్
                                           సుధాస్రావిణం తిక్త మప్య  ప్రియంతం
                                           తరుం  కల్పవ్రిక్షాధికం  సాధయంతం
                                           నమీస్వరం  సద్గురుం సాయినాధం"

later they went to seek permission of BABA and worshiped him then BABA gave them permission and ordered to ground them on SRAVANA POORNIMA . As per SAI NATHA orders they bought the foot marks and grounded them grandly in that day. At present also we can see the foot marks with the SLOKA under the neem tree.
