LAXMAN MAMA KULKARNI
LAXMAN MAMA KULKARNI
Laxmanrao Kulkarni Ratnaparkhi was maternal uncle of Madhavrao Deshpande. He
was a resident of Shirdi itself. He was an orthodox Brahmin. He used to
follow the laws of touchability and religious rites very rigorously.
As Laxmanrao was the maternal uncle of Madhavrao, he was known as Laxman
Mama' in the village. He was the Vatandar Kulkarni and Gram Joshi of Shirdi
Village.
While the devotees were experiencing Baba's miracles, Laxmanrao maintained a
distance from such things. He not only had no faith in Baba, but he was a
very staunch opponent of Him.
An unlearned person is likely to fall into prey to bad ompany and habits. He
may listen only to his ego and have belief only in himself. Gradually, he
starts thinking that he is bigger than God. To bring such a person to the
proper path, Bhagvant gives him certain jolts. The person starts coming back
to his senses. Then, the Almighty enters his inner soul and gives him
deliverance.
It so happened with Laxmanrao. The great egoist fell ill with an incurable
disease. His sufferings knew no limits in spite of the various remedies he
tried. Ultimately - as a last resort - he came to Baba's Masjid.
Baba looked at him with tranquil eyes, moved his hand over Laxmanrao's body
and said, "Go ! Allah will set things right.
There was a miraculous change in Laxmanrao from the time he stepped into the
Masjid. On top of it, he had the blessings of Baba. From that moment, he
became a devotee of Baba.
