A tribute to Sai Baba's Mahabhakta - MAHALSAPATI
Mahalsapati was one of Sai Baba's closest Devotees. In this film, Dr Vinny speaks about the special relationship Mahalsapati shared with Baba, the different facets of his personality, and also discusses the important incidents in Mahalsapati's life.
Mahalsapati was the one who first recognized Sai Baba and gave Baba the name 'Sai' while welcoming Him into the Khandoba Mandir, and into Shirdi.
We are also eternally indebted to Mahalsapati for having protected Baba during Baba's 3-day Samadhi, it is due to Mahalsapati's vigil that we had Baba with us for another 32 years.
Dr. Vinny Chitluri is an author who has researched and documented
Baba’s life history. She now lives in Shirdi and has been His devotee for more than 70 years.
