Background
A description of the experience
from Sai Baba Man of Miracles – Howard Murphet
Shirdi Sai Baba, during the early years at Shlrdi, once left his body for three days. He asked a close disciple to guard the body, saying.
"l am going to Allah. If I do not return after three days, then get my body buried at that place,"
indicating a sacred neem tree.
An inquest was held. Officials declared Sai Baba dead and ordered the corpse buried.
But the disciple, with the help of some others, stoutly opposed the order, and would not surrender the body. Then at the end of the third day Sai Baba returned to his tall Shirdi physique and lived in it for another thirty-two Years.
