The incident related with Shrimati Sudha Mazu mdar of Calcutta has been described In detail by Shri N. Kasthuri in Sathyam, Sivam, Sundaram - Part 11. Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba gave her darsan at Darjeeling as Shirdi Sai, whom she took to be a Fakir. ln this appar­ently chanced meeting the stranger even sat and chatted with her and gave her Upadesh.

 

The chain of circumstances that followed this contact led the lady to the presence of Sathya Sai at Madras where she was blessed with an interview. Though steeped in piety and spirituality yet the doubting human nature took the upper hand and she asked Baba about the Fakir she had met at Darjeeling. Baba reassuringly confirmed "That was I in another Form. I gave you there Upadesh. Don't worry I will be with you always! Always!"

 

Later in June 196 7 Shrimati Mazumdar visited Shirdi. She went in the Samadhi Mandir for Darsan and stood silent, stunned and surprised, on seeing the marble image of Shirdi Baba The idol was none other than the 'Fakir' who had bestowed upon her, His blessings at Darjeeling.

 

This Divine communication places a confirma­tory seal on the phenomenon of the Oneness of the two Sais.
