DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

SHIVAJI

April 1922

One day Meher Baba whilst walking in Poona, explained to the ones with him that there were 2 types of Avataric incarnations - minor and major.

He revealed :" In a past lifetime, I was Shivaji. Until recently, the British have left nothing undone to detract from Shivaji historically. Yet they have now had a statue ( actually a foundation stone ) unveiled by the Prince of Wales* last year in Shaminar Wada, Poona, when I was present in this form."

Looking at the men with him he said , " You were all with me at the time of Shivaji.  Beheramji was Afzal Khan, the Mogul General who was killed by Shivaji. Sadashiv Patel was Taraji Mahoore, who gave his life to save Shivaji."

Later, Baba told Adi K. Irani that he was the wife (Sai Bhonsale) of Shivaji.
