Shirdi Sai gives back hundred fold returns

It was a practice followed by many devotees to place some coins before Sai Baba when they visited Him. This is called the offering of Dakshina
Baba used to demand dakshina from some devotees, but did not take it from others, even when offered it to him.Sai Baba asked for dakshina only for the welfare of the devotees and for teaching them the value of renunciation. He used to say,”Give with faith, with magnanimity and compassion, liberally and with modesty”.
He used to spend very small amount of Dakshina for chullum (smoking pipe) and the rest of it he gave away to some deserving devotees.While taking Dakshina, Baba used to say,” I shall have to give back hundred times more than what I receive from the devotees”.
Mr. ganpatrao Bodas, a famous actor of those times, in his autobiography, narrates how Baba fulfilled this promise in his life. Once Baba persistently insisted on Mr. Bodas giving him dakshina a number of times. Finally, Bodas emptied his money bag before Baba, and prostrated himself before him
The result of this was that later in life, Mr. Bodas never suffered for want of money, as it came to hi abundantly.
