When did Baba ask Dada Kelkar to fetch meat, and why was the timing significant?

📖 Chapter 38

Chapter 38 recounts an incident where Baba tested his devotee, Dada Kelkar. The request for meat was made on Ekadashi, which is a traditional Hindu fasting day. This timing was highly significant because Dada Kelkar was a Brahmin who had great respect for Vedic duties and was perfect in his conduct. For Baba to ask him to go personally and purchase meat on such a day was a "novelty" and a profound test of his obedience and faith. Baba gave him the money and ordered him to go alone, testing whether Kelkar would prioritize his personal religious customs over the Guru's command.
