Who was the little girl Amani and what was her relationship with Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 29

Amani was a three-year-old girl who had a special, affectionate relationship with Sai Baba, as detailed in Chapter 29. She would come to the masjid with her mother, Jamali, after Baba's morning meal. The text describes her as a "naked child" who would sit on her haunches, place an open tin box in Baba's hands, and ask for "rupees, rupees!" Baba, who had great affection for children, would respond by taking kisses from her, caressing her hair, and holding her to his chest. While Amani's mind was focused on getting money from Baba, his actions showed a deep, fatherly love for the pretty and sweet child. A footnote also identifies her as the daughter of one of Shri's devotees named Kondaji.
