TATYA KOTE PATIL

INTRODUCTION
Tatya Kote Patil plays an important role in the life
of Sai Baba. Tatya maintained good relationship
with Baba and was being protected by baba from
his childhood. He was a favourite child of Sai.
Tatya Kote Patil was born in a farmer’s family. His
mother was Bayajabai, and was considered as an
affectionate sister of Sai. And Baba himself has
told, that Bayajabai was related to him, from
several past births. He was treated as a family
member by the Bayajabai’s family, and they would
affectionately serve food to him, and took utmost
care on him.
Tatya fondly call Baba as “UNCLE”. Both of them
played like a child, and baba used to carry him on
his shoulders. This act was continued, even when
Tatya was grown up into a young man. Tatya was
a kind man who never hated baba at any
circumstances in his life. He believed that baba
was a divine saviour who has come to this earth,
to remove the sufferings of the people, and to give
all kinds of prosperity to them.
He used to stay with Baba in the Dwarakamai at
night, and ask several questions about god, and
about spirituality, and baba would kindly answer to
all of his questions in a simple manner.
He also received money from Baba, and spent the
money towards providing food to the poor people.
He lived his life by doing farming activity. He has
been safeguarded from several problems in his life
through the grace of Saibaba.
Due to the grace of Baba, he has got extension of
his life by 27 years after Baba's Mahasamadhi. His
Samadhi is located near Sri Sai Baba Sansthan.
Even now, Sai devotees are visiting his holy
Samadhi and worshipping him, and getting
relieved from their problems.
Let us worship the holy soul and be blessed.
