BABA OF SHIRDI - DARSHAN OF GOD FOR DEVOUT FAITH

Das Ganu
Once when Baba was asked Das Ganu to conduct naama saptaha (chanting the names of God continuously for one week), he agreed to do so, but with condition that at the end of the saptaha, Baba should make Vittal (one form of the deity worshipped at Pandharpur) appear (manifest himself) before him.Baba replied,”Vittal will certainly appear if one is earnest and devout. You need not go far off places. Pandharpur of vittal and dwaraka of shri Krishna are here” After completing the sapthaha, Das Ganu saw the vision of Vittal in shirdi itself.

Kakasaheb Dikshit
Dikshit was sitting as usual in meditation after bath when he saw Vittal in a vision. When he went at Noon for baba’s darshan, Baba asked him point blank,” Did Vittal Patel comes? Did you see him? Catch him firmly, otherwise he will escape. Hold him firmly otherwise he will run away, if you are inattentive”Dikshit had another darshan of Vittal at noon. A hawker was selling pictures of Vittoba, and the pictures exactly looked like the one Kakasaheb Dikshit saw in his vision. He bought a photo for worship.
Moolay sastry
In other instance, Baba gave darshan to Moolay Sastry as his guru Goraknath, and as Lord Rama to a doctor.
