On the auspicious days of Vaisakhi and Diwali, Baba Gobinddas Sahib would grace the Gaddi and shower blessings on all the disciples.
On the first Diwali, after Baba Gobinddas Sahib left for heavenly abode in 1988, the Darbar was filled with devotees. Ramesh Bhambhani who was present there, told some of the devotees sitting around him that it is a tradition since the Sindh days, that if the Guru does not sit on the Gaddi, the devotees request the Guru to grace the Gaddi. Accordingly, they should jointly request Sai to grace the Gaddi. Sai, who is ever so vigilant, immediately understood what was to unfold, so He firmly announced that all devotees should continue with the kirtan, and nobody should get up. Hearing this, nobody got up from their place.
In fond memory and the irreparable loss of His Guru, Sai recited this shabad from Gurbani on the harmonium, “Antar Gur Aaradhana – Jihva Jap Gur Nao”. When Sai concluded the bhajan, there was a divine radiance on His face and His eyes were tear filled.
