SAI BABA
Babajan directed Merwan to visit Sai Baba of Shirdi.Merwan stretched himself on the ground in front of Sai Baba.On seeing Merwan, Sai Baba uttered only one word "PARVARDIGAR"(The Almighty). Sai Baba's eyes were lustrous with universe shining out of them as he conveyed this holy word. At the instant when Sai Baba had spoken the majestic word, Merwan had become alpowerful,Sai had given him infinite power.
