Can you describe an instance that demonstrates Sai Baba's ability to protect his devotees from afar?

A powerful example of Maharaj's protection is the story of Kashiram. As detailed in Chapter 0, Kashiram was attacked by several armed thieves. While he bravely fought back, he was eventually struck by an axe and left for dead. Simultaneously, back in Shirdi, Maharaj was exhibiting great agitation, shouting and swearing. The people around him understood that this was his way of protecting a dear devotee who was in grave danger. Despite the impossible odds, Kashiram survived the encounter. This incident clearly illustrates the belief that while a 'killer' may be present, they are powerless against the 'Savior,' highlighting Maharaj's protective influence over his followers, even when they are not physically with him.
