Sai Baba's Image Worshipped by Sadhu Bhaiya

A canvas reprint of the image that was worshipped by Sai Baba's Mahabhakta Shri Sadashiv Rao Naik alias Sadhu Bhaiya.

Shri Sadashiv Rao Naik had been a devoted visitor to Shirdi even before 1914 and enjoyed close contact with Shri Sai Baba.

On one occasion, Shama visited Harda. Shri Naik’s mother complained to him that her son, being a family man, visited Shirdi so often that he neglected his household responsibilities. Shama advised Shri Naik, “Do not give your mother any cause for complaint. Henceforth, do not come to Shirdi unless you are called by Shri Baba.”

As Shama was one of Shri Sai Baba’s closest devotees, Shri Naik accepted these words as Baba’s own command and stopped visiting Shirdi. When Shri Sai Baba learned of this, He remarked, “Because of Shama’s words, Shri Naik will not come. Ask Shri Parulkar to bring him along.” A letter was then sent to Shri Naik, and in 1914 he travelled to Shirdi with his two sons.

On Das Navami in 1915, Shri Sai Baba sent His large photograph—previously kept in Dixit Wada—to Shri Sadashiv Rao Naik at Harda through Shri Balakram and Muktaram. Along with the photograph came a letter from Baba stating:

“Through this photograph I have come to your home. Without My permission, do not come to Shirdi again.”
