If anyone dared to do so without his permission the frame would be either blank or without Baba. Baba on a rare occasion permitted Jaykar, an eminent Painter to paint a life like oil painting of Baba. He normally used to paint portraits of royal family members and British Lords and in 1913. Rao Bahadur Moreshwar W. Pradhan, another ardent devotee of Baba, requested him to visit Shirdi for making Baba's portrait. Jayker went to Baba during his first visit along with Pradhan who wanted him to give Pradhan a lifelike oil painting of Baba. So Jayker had to go and actually see Baba for painting purpose. He went and had a good look at Baba. Baba also looked at Jayker. Baba was not so famous at that time. Even Jayker was not aware about the powers and fame of Baba. During his journey to Shirdi, he was thinking that his visit to Shirdi would be futile. He had also thought that if he had gone to some royal palace, that would have fetched him a handsome amount. After reaching Shirdi they went to the masjid to have darshan of Baba. The first sentence Baba uttered, on seeing Jayker, was why he came to Shirdi and he should have gone to some royal palace and painted their portraits. What was the use of making out a portrait of a humble fakir like him. Then Baba's permission had to be obtained before an oil painting could be made of him. So Shama went to Baba and asked for his permission. Then Baba replied, "Why should I, a poor fakir, have an oil painting of me? You, Shama, you may get a portrait of yourself”. Ultimately, Shama convinced Baba and told Jayker that Baba's permission for the painting had been obtained. However, on Shama’s intercession only, Baba finally decided to sit in front of Jayker and allowed him to paint. Jayker, instead of painting one picture, as permitted, had painted four portraits. Then, Pradhan took two portraits and the third one was taken to Baba who touched it and then asked him to hand over to Dixit. The fourth one painted by Jayker is a big-sized portrait of Baba. That was left unused for some years and was later kept in the masjid for the innumerable devotee-visitors to have darshan of Baba through this portrait for their welfare. This unique portrait of Sai Baba was in his Pooja Room since 1913. It is important to note that only Jayker got rare honour of painting three portraits of Sai Baba by making him sit in front of him. All other paintings were made after Baba's Mahasamadhi, based on either his paintings or any other painting based on Baba's photographs. Pradhan brought the two portraits to his house. Later they were lying with his family members in the folded canvas form for a very long time. Amazingly, around 1970, Pradhan's son and grandson, both, got the similar dream in the same night. Baba appeared in their dream and instructed them to deliver the portraits to his house. And thus he got one more blessed portrait of Baba. The other one was displayed on the home page of their website. Baba was looking after him regularly with care and he was happy. Though, he lost two sons, Baba kept him and his family members always with contentment. He always felt that it was not for money that one should approach Baba, though he would give money also, whenever he thought proper. Baba used to say that the walls of his masjid were really made up of gold and wanted people to come and take away cartloads of that wealth; but his regret was that none came to take it away. Baba had been very kind to Jayker. But, Jayker had been guilty of neglecting Baba’s words and forgetting several things. He had been so peculiarly indifferent in his temperament, he could not carry out things with conviction. Baba knew this very well. Once, Jayker was wishing to worship silver padukas of Baba, after receiving them from Baba’s own hands. So, Jayker got a small silver pair of padukas prepared and took them to Baba. He looked at them and Jayker. He received them. But, instead of giving them back to Jayker, Baba sloped his palms (on which the padukas were placed) downwards and the padukas fell down. Jayker picked them up and hoped to worship them. But, that very evening, Jayker gave out his clothes for wash, with the silver padukas lying inside a shirt-pocket. Thus he lost them and never got them back. Baba knew already these happenings and so did not give the padukas into Jayker’s hands but allowed them to slip off his hands, indicating in advance the future event.
