Pradhan was an ardent devotee of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba.\u00a0He was a Judge in Bombay High Court. Once during his visit to <em>Shirdi<\/em>, he arranged a special dinner in Baba&#8217;s honour. On Baba\u2019s recommendation, <i>Pooran-poli<\/i> was prepared and the guests list was compiled. In the feast, a place was reserved for Baba and dishes were served in the plate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>While guests were having their meal, a crow came and lifted a <i>pooran-poli <\/i>from the plate and carried it away.<i> <\/i>All believed that Baba visited as the crow and had taken away his favorite dish, <i>pooran-poli<\/i>.<i> <\/i>That evening, Baba gave\u00a0one remarkable hint of his omniscience and kindness to Mr. Pradhan.\u00a0Baba touched his limbs on one side and said,\u00a0\u201c<i>On this side of my body there is excruciating pain. It will be alright in two or four days<\/i>\u201d. As Baba appeared to be hale and healthy, no one could decipher the meaning of his words. Baba gave <i>udhi<\/i> to Mr. Pradhan and ask him to return home. Before departing from the <i>masjid<\/i>,\u00a0<i>Babu Chandorkar <\/i>placed a plate under Baba\u2019s feet, and pouring water over his feet, collected the <i>Pada-Tirtha<\/i> for carrying home. This practice was started by Babu for the first time.\u00a0Only <i>udhi<\/i> was taken till then and <i>Pada-Tirtha<\/i> was used only during <i>Aarti<\/i>. But on this occasion, as Babu Chandorkar took <i>Pada-Tirtha<\/i> home, Mr. Pradhan also got a chance to take some home.\u00a0On his way back, Mr. Pradhan was lucky enough to get into the first train, namely, the Punjab mail, though he did not have the ticket for it and he reached home four or five hour earlier than he had expected. On arrival he learnt that his mother had an attack of <i>paralysis<\/i>.\u00a0She was having excruciating pain on one side as Baba said.\u00a0<i>So, Baba was referring her pain and not his own pain at that time in Shirdi<\/i> and Pradhan was lucky in reaching home with <i>Pada-Tirtha<\/i> and Baba\u2019s <i>udhi<\/i>.\u00a0He arrived when his family was considering whether they should inform Mr. Pradhan of\u00a0his mother\u2019s sudden illness. But Baba himself knew it and sent him back on time. The doctor, noting the high temperature of the patient and her restlessness, considered her condition very critical. When Mr. Pradhan reached home, he immediately gave Baba\u2019s <i>udhi<\/i> and <i>Tirtha<\/i> to his mother. She became somnolent. A little later, her her temperature fell. The doctor came and noted the improvement.\u00a0Baba had thus arranged everything for the benefit of Mr. Pradhan\u2019s mother.\u00a0Actually within two days,\u00a0she became cured of her illness.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>\u0928\u093f\u0936\u0902\u0915 \u0939\u094b \u0928\u093f\u0930\u094d\u092d\u092f \u0939\u094b \u092e\u0928
