Chapter 38 recounts a significant incident involving Ganesh Damodar Kelkar, an elderly and respected devotee known as Dada. He was a devout Brahmin, with great respect for Vedic duties and perfect in his conduct. On Ekadashi, a traditional fasting day, Sai Baba gave him a surprising order. He gave Dada money and instructed him to go personally to Korhala to buy some meat. This command was a novelty and a test for Dada Kelkar, given his background and the sanctity of the day. The text highlights this as an example of a Guru testing a disciple's faith, emphasizing that the true offering, or Dakshina, is the unconditional performance of the Guru's order.
Can you tell me about the time Baba asked Dada Kelkar, a devout Brahmin, to buy meat on a fasting day?
