Chapter 37 explains this phenomenon metaphorically, describing Sai Baba as a "powerful magnet." It states that with the attraction of His own power, He would pull the "iron-like devotees" and draw them unknowingly to His feet. This magnetic pull gathered men and women who had respect for Hari-bhajan. They would come to the assembly hall with instruments like cymbals, mridangas, and tambourines, raising what the text calls a "storm of bhajan." This suggests that Baba's spiritual power was the primary force that drew people to these vibrant devotional gatherings.
How did Sai Baba attract devotees to the bhajan sessions on Chavadi nights?
