In the early hours of Wednesday, Baba appeared in the dream to Laxman Mama Joshi and said, "Bapu Saheb, Jog is thinking that I am dead. The same night Baba appeared in the dream of Pradhan’s sister and asked her to send silk clothes to put on his samadhi. Next day she sent all the money in her box to Shirdi for utilising for the last rites of Baba. He again appeared in her dream on the 16th night and requested her to give him all the money she had in her box. Baba told her in the dream that one should not say dying in the case of saints, but say "attained Samadhi".
She dreamt of Baba’s life was leaving his body and she cried that Baba was dying. Pradhan’s wife at Bombay had a dream on the night of 15th. He asked him to proceed immediately to Shirdi and cover his body with jasmine flowers.ĭas Ganu, along with his disciples, started for Shirdi immediately. In the early hours before daybreak on Wednesday the 16th, Baba appeared to Das Ganu in his dream and told him that the mosque came down, and the merchants were angry with him, so he left his body.
The whole night discussions and arguments went on regarding the location of the Samadhi. When he searched Baba’s body he found seven rupees in his pocket. By Tuesday evening, the Sub-Inspector of Police from Rahata, Chakranarayan, came to Shirdi. This way two groups formed in Shirdi and began arguing over the matter.
But the village munsif,Ramachander Patil took a firm decision that Baba’s Samadhi should be in Butty Wada and nowhere else. Khushal Chand and Amir Shakkar also supported this. Some Muslims requested that the body of Sai Baba may be kept in Samadhi, outside the mosque in the open space. Since he had warned Appaji not to reveal anything to others, he kept silent in spite of so many people questioning him.Īfter a few hours, the question as to what to do with Baba’s mortal remains arose. Some imagined that what Baba had told Appaji secretly must be about his future birth. Some said that Baba had indicated that he would be born again after eight years, in Madras State. Several people were recollecting Baba’s strange actions and words. They now understood the ‘Seemollanghan’ incident of two years back and how Baba had taken on himself Tatya’s death and give his life to him. Some were seen weeping and running in the streets. Some fell down unconscious after seeing Baba’s body. They cried loudly, recollecting the good things Baba had done to them. There was not a single family either in Shirdi or the neighbouring places which had not experienced Baba’s leelas and greatness. They became speechless when they saw the lifeless body of Sai Baba, and felt as if the entire world had come to standstill. They wept uncontrollably as Sai Baba, who was God to them, was no more. People came along with women and children to Dwarakamai. The news of Baba’s Samadhi spread throughout Shirdi and the neighbouring villages in minutes.
