Those who received the association of Sri Sai are very fortunate. Because yogis are symbols of the soul of God. Their heart is itself an abode of Lord Vasudeva. We must be very pious and fortunate to get the association and companionship of such noble yogis.

Tatya Kothe Patil and Mahalsapathi were the beloved devotees of Baba. Along with these two devotees Baba used to sleep in the Masjid in such a way that heads of the three would turn east, west and north and the legs of one would touch the remaining all. They used to talk and gossip about something till the midnight. While sleeping even if one had gone into sleep another would wake him up. Whenever Tatya snores in the sleep Baba would lovingly caress his head and stop his snoring. Mahalsapathi would press Baba?s legs and back. Tatya had left mother and father and used to sleep in the Masjid for about fourteen years. Only when his father died Tatya used to sleep in the home.

Really those are the happiest days. They are never forgotten. Tatya and Mahalsapathi who had received Baba?s love and grace for several days were very fortunate and blessed souls.

Sri Sainathaya Namah.
