<li> While, once I (<a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/01/sai-babas-oneness-with-kakasaheb-dixit.html" target="_blank">Kakasaheb Dixit</a>) was in Shirdi, I received letter from my brother that Balu Kaka and Nanasaheb Karamvelkar’s wife were seriously ill. This matter was made known to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org/2012/07/sai-babas-many-blessings-on-our-family.html" target="_blank">Lord Sai Baba</a>. On being asked about Balu Kaka’s <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/12/sai-deva-knows-past-present-and-future.html" target="_blank">future</a>, Lord Baba said, “He will get cured soon.” When the case about Karamvelkar’s wife was made asked, Lord Baba exclaimed, “Hasn’t she come yet?”
I told Him that she has not come to Shirdi and whether a <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2012/07/chapter-3-kakasaheb-dixit-diary.html" target="_blank">message</a> can be sent to call her here. Lord Baba replied in affirmative. After some time news came that Balu Kaka got cured completely and the lady (Nanasaheb Karamvelkar’s wife) had passed away.

<li> Once <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/08/shirdi-sai-babas-philosopy-about-nine.html" target="_blank">Madhavrao Deshpande</a> (Shama) suffered a lot from typical type of pain. He went to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org/2012/07/couple-of-sai-baba-experiences-part-214.html" target="_blank">Lord Sai Baba</a> and shared his <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/05/i-am-hungry-only-for-your-love-sai-baba_28.html" target="_blank">problem</a>. <a href="http://www.shirdisaibababhajan.org/2012/07/sai-ki-diwali-sai-ki-mehfil.html" target="_blank">Lord Baba</a> said, “I will give the <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/12/sai-babas-udi-cure-of-all-incurables.html" target="_blank">medicine</a> in <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/08/shirdi-sai-babas-philosophy-about-food_04.html" target="_blank">afternoon</a>”. To save His dear devotee from the pain he was suffering, Lord Baba Himself prepared some decoction using sonamukhi (<span class="st">English Name: <i>Alexandrin Senna</i> Hindi Name: <em>Sonamukhi</em>. Sanskrit Name: <i>Rajvriksa, Bhumyahali</i></span>) leaves. He called out Shama and asked him to have the medicine as soon as possible. The moment he took the medicine, the pain started to subside and no trace of it remained. <br><br> </li></ul></div>

<li> Once <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2012/07/chapter-5-kakasaheb-dixit-diary.html" target="_blank">Shankar Rao</a> came to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/11/complete-shirdi-guide-history-and.html" target="_blank">Shirdi</a>, when I (<a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/01/sai-babas-actions-beyond-our-thinking.html" target="_blank">Kakasaheb Dixit</a>) was also present. <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org/2012/07/sai-baba-has-plan-for-all-of-us-sai-devotee-kapil.html" target="_blank">Lord Sai Baba</a> asked him for Rs. 16 as <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/07/shirdi-sai-babas-philosophy-about.html" target="_blank">dakshina</a>. He did not have that much money and did not disclose this fact to Him. He was very sorry that he could not give dakshina to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibababhajan.org/2012/07/sai-baba-ki-sai-ki-mehfil.html" target="_blank">Lord Baba</a> though He asked directly. Thinking about this, he returned to his town. <br><br> On his another visit, Lord Baba asked Rs. 32 as dakshina from him. He again could not give what Lord Baba asked for and felt very sorry. This matter was made known to me. I laughed and said, “When Lord Baba asked for money, you could have told him that you don’t have it. Why did you keep silent?” Shankar Rao assured that when he was asked for dakshina, he will give this reply to Lord Baba. <br><br> When we went to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2011/03/complete-shirdi-guide-dwarkamai-and-its_22.html" target="_blank">Masjid</a> together, Lord Baba asked him Rs. 64 as dakshina. We both said, “How can we have such a huge amount of money?” Lord Baba answered, “If you don’t have, then ask others and get it”. <br><br>  </li></ul></div>

<li> Shri. S.B.Naachne was working as a treasury master at <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/02/sai-babas-anger-vs-invisible-cruel.html" target="_blank">Dahanu</a> in the year <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/06/durgabais-selfless-service-as-per.html" target="_blank">1914</a>. Shri. Fanse was an employee at his work place who was suffering from mental disorder. Once Shri. Naachne was praying to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org/2012/07/a-couple-of-sai-baba-experiences-part-209.html" target="_blank">Lord Sai Baba</a> in his shrine which was in kitchen, suddenly he heard a loud noise. He saw Fanse standing there. Forcibly he came near Naachne and squeezed his neck. Further he advanced towards him to suck blood from his neck and tried to eat it. Naachne somehow took spoon which he used to offer water and thrust it in Fanse’s mouth. Fanse immediately closed his mouth and started eating his fingers. Since Fanse had pressed Naachne’s neck with great pressure, his nails were pierced causing intense bleeding in the neck. Due to this attack, Naachne fell down unconsciousness. When he regained consciousness, he saw his mother, younger brother and <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/05/sai-baba-gives-darshan-as-lord-rama.html" target="_blank">doctor</a> around him. he came to know that his mother and brother came and saved him from this insane person at the nick of time. 
After few days, he went to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/11/complete-shirdi-guide-history-and.html" target="_blank">Shirdi</a>. When he went to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/search/label/Dwarkamai%20Of%20Shirdi" target="_blank">Dwarkamai</a> in the afternoon, Lord Sai Baba, pointing towards Naachne, said to Anna Chinchanikar, who was seated nearby Him, “If I had delayed a single minute that person would have killed this person. When his neck was being pressed tightly, I went and rescued him and thus averted his death. If I don’t save My children who else will”.

<li> A devotee named Madhur Das came to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/11/complete-shirdi-guide-history-and.html" target="_blank">Shirdi</a> often. During one of such visits, he met <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/12/sai-baba-throws-stone-on-labourer.html" target="_blank">Sagun Meru Naik</a> who had a <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/07/shirdi-to-get-200-room-bhaktiniwas-from.html" target="_blank">hotel in Shirdi</a> where many pilgrims had their food. They both had good time chatting about matters of other people’s faults and affairs. Then Madhur Das went to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org/2012/07/a-couple-of-sai-baba-experiences-part-208.html" target="_blank">Lord Sai Baba</a> and sat near Him. Lord Baba asked him, “What was this Sagun saying?” Now Madhur immediately recollected what fault of his was caught by Lord Baba. He remembered that Lord Baba did not like when people <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/08/shirdi-sai-babas-philosophy-about.html" target="_blank">blame others and talk about them</a> for no reason. In this way, Lord Baba again reminded Madhur and us not to indulge ourselves in other’s matters because what is for us, is with us and what is for others, is with them. </li>

The initiative to script this <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/search/label/Kakasaheb%20Dixit%20Diary" target="_blank">diary of Shri. Kakasaheb Dixit</a> is getting very nice response from devotee readers. I am very much thankful to all who commented and send me e-mails personally congratulating for this venture. This is boosting my morale up and i am sure i will be able to provide this diary on a regular basis. Looking forward for your views regarding making an e-book of the same.<br>

<li> One day, in afternoon, <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org/2012/07/a-couple-of-sai-baba-experiences-part-207.html" target="_blank">Lord Sai Baba</a> asked me (Dixit) whether Pradhan has come. I answered that he has not come. I seeked permission from Lord Baba to send a message to Pradhan to come to <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/11/complete-shirdi-guide-history-and.html" target="_blank">Shirdi</a>. Lord Baba answered in affirmative. So a message was sent to him through Bala Shimpi. <br><br> At the same time when Lord Baba enquired about Pradhan, he was with some person in a bar room in Bombay (now Mumbai) High Court and suddenly he fell unconscious. He was continuously chanting name of Lord Baba. His friend went to seek medical aid nearby and by the time he returned, Pradhan had regained consciousness. After some time, he returned his home in Santacruz by travelling in train without anybody’s help. <br><br> Next day, Bala Shimpi came from Shirdi and gave him <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/05/sai-baba-transfers-his-special-power.html" target="_blank">Lord Baba’s Udi</a> and a letter written by me regarding the message which Lord Baba wanted to convey. Pradhan was even told that suddenly Lord Baba remembered him. He came to know for what reason did Lord Baba asked about him. Thus this merciful God takes care of His devotees when they are in trouble and even though they are very far from Him.  </li>

<li> Once Lord Sai Baba appeared in Shama’s dream to inquire whether he had been to Govardana Das’s house. On receiving negative answer from Shama, He said, “Govardan’s mother is no more, so you should go and console him. Shama had no doubt in Lord Baba’s words, so he went to meet Govardan the next day at about 3 P.M. On reaching, he found that Lord Baba’s words in his dream were absolutely true. Govardan’s mother died the previous day and Shama was sent there timely. </li>

<li> A person named Dwarkanath come to Shirdi. He carried a letter for Lord Sai Baba which was given by his uncle to be given to Lord Baba. Dwarkanath’s uncle had described his daughter’s health issues in the letter. When the letter was handed over to Lord Baba, He whispered that she will pass away soon. I (Kakasaheb Dixit) heard these words distinctly, but others could not. Later on, when the letter was read out to Lord Baba, Dwarkanath asked Him, “When can I bring my wife here?” Lord Baba said, “She will herself come to my place after four days”. On fourth day, she passed away and Lord Baba’s words came true.  </li>

The present work has taken shape by translating and scripting Telugu audio of Kakasaheb Dixit Diary into English script from <a href="http://downloads.saibaba.com/magazine/dixit_diary/index.html" target="_blank">www.saibaba.com</a>. Taking up this task of translating the audio and scripting it in English was of highly tedious and lengthy nature. Still grace and will of Lord Sai Baba worked on because it was His direction to do so. On this occasion of Gurupoornima (2012) i am glad to share this treasure with Devotee Readers. Parts of this diary will be shared subsequently. Kindly visit our blog for full version of the diary. <br>
<br>
This is how all things happened. <br>
<br>
About one year ago (i.e in early 2011) while getting hooked with my daily emails, I came across with an email from a devotee with subject “Sai Darshan”. This email used to flash every Thursday containing interesting links, literature and bhajans of Lord Sai Baba. A link with Kakasaheb Dixit Diary was noticed and without any pause it was clicked to be opened. It was in audio form in telugu language, so it rather disappointed me as I could not understand this language and this treasure will go un-turned. The gems of history will remain buried. It took place in my system and remained there. <br>
<br>
With passing time this treasure was completely forgotten. After one year, I again remembered and tried various methods to get it translated and get English script ready. A devotee’s name was then flashed in my mind and contacted her quickly. Luckily she knew this language and translated all twelve parts (herewith considered as chapters) within no time. <br>
<br>
The unexpected helping hand of Sai sister Sujata K has given shape to a thought. I am thankful to her from the bottom of my heart. References from the book Baba's Vaani by Vinny Chitluri have been taken to check authenticity of the information and stories provided as it is also based on the same subject matter. <br>
<br>
Every possible care has been taken to put forth facts and information in this book, still if they are shortcomings in it, kindly treat them as mere human nature and I seek apologies for the same. <br>
