Along the road, he happened to spot a dog that had been lying dead for three days. Tajuddin approached the carcass and, touching it, said, "Why are you lying here, my friend? Get up and run." The dog sprang back to life and scurried away.
As Tajuddin's spiritual reputation spread, his relatives gradually came to accept him as "someone great." One time, his aunt made him tea. He refused to drink it and, pointing to his left, told her, "Take this tea to a fox lying dead in that field." The woman did as instructed. When she poured a little of the tea down the dead animal's throat, the fox shook, stood up and ran away.
The miracle that caused the greatest sensation in Nagpur concerned a professional singer named Surji. She was famous for her exquisitely sweet voice and would often entertain Tajuddin. It is said that she became seriously ill and despite all possible treatment expired. Hearing the news, Raja Bhosle informed Tajuddin that Surji had died.
Tajuddin became irritated and said angrily, "You are lying! She is alive! If she were to die who would come to sing before me? ... Go tell her relatives not to disturb her body." The raja returned to the house where the woman's body was being prepared for cremation and delivered Tajuddin's message. Having faith in the Master's words, the relatives postponed the ceremony, and as Tajuddin had indicated, at 3:00 A.M. the next morning the woman opened her eyes. "Tajuddin Baba can raise the dead!" was the astonishing report that spread throughout the city and beyond.
One day during 1915, an exceptional looking individual in his early twenties, accompanied by a friend, came to see Tajuddin Baba, who was holding darshan at Vaki Shariff. As the handsome young man entered the room, Tajuddin immediately stood and their eyes met. No one in the crowd knew the hidden message their glances conveyed. Tajuddin approached the young man in his peculiar shuffling gait. A devotee had given the Master a few flowers and these Taj presented to the young man. Then Taj rubbed the young man's head affectionately. The stranger and his companion bowed to the Sadguru and left.
Some moments before the striking young man had arrived, Tajuddin had lost his temper and had angrily abused all those in his presence. But upon seeing the young man, his mood changed suddenly to a pleasing manner.
