Sai Mahabhakta Upasani Balakrishna Raoji was suffering from Asthma for a long time. Upon the advice of Kaka Saheb Dixit, he went to Shirdi in the year 1913 for Baba's darshan. On seeing him, Baba said He was glad that he had come, and gave him some Udhi along with His blessings. From then on, Raoji started feeling better and returned home.

In March 1913, his son fell ill. For six days, he had relentless high fever, continuous and unabated, and the doctors gave up hope. The doctor and Upasani sat near the boy's bed as they thought that his end was near. At 2 am, the exhausted father went out and sat on the verandah. He dozed off for a short while and he dreamt of Baba.

He saw Baba applying Udhi to his son's forehead, then Baba standing before Upasani said, "Don't worry, he will perspire after two hours and then his condition will improve. After he gets well bring him to Shirdi for my darshan".

Upasani woke up and it happened exactly as Baba had said. After two hours his son did perspire, and then felt better. The doctor was surprised at the boy's recovery.

Three days later, Upasani received a letter from Shyama. "I had not written to you so far as I had no direction from Baba to do so. Now upon Baba's orders, I am stating what Baba said. 'I have been to your friend's place in Dhulia'. I asked him who that friend was. 'Upasani Balakrishna Raoji', He answered clearly, then He added, "I go to his place often. Write to him'. Hence, this letter from me".

Fiften days later after this letter arrived, Upasani, his wife and his son went for Baba's darshan. Early in the mornning, they got down at Kopargaon and bathed in the Godavari hoping to attend Aarti. However, the tonga was later and Upasani was doubtful of reaching Shirdi in time for the Aarti.

Here in Shirdi, Baba said, "Shyama, stop the Aarti for a little while, your friend Raoji is on his way. He has set his heart in attending the Aarti".

As soon as the family stepped into the Dwarakamai, the Aarti started. Baba called the son and asked him whether he recognised Him from his vision when he was ill with fever. Raoji and his son immediately prostrated before Baba and thanked Him for His timely help.
