📖 Chapter 31

As narrated in Chapter 31, upon arriving in Shirdi, the sannyasi Vijayananda met Swami Somdevji of Haridwar. He inquired about the journey to Mansarovar and was disheartened to learn it was 500 miles away, fraught with difficulties like heavy snow and changing languages. This news left him dejected and immersed in worry. Despite his distress, he proceeded to take darshan of Sai Baba. The chapter describes that while his mind became pleased upon seeing Baba and prostrating, the encounter took a strange turn when Baba suddenly expressed displeasure and asked for the sannyasi to be sent away.
