FAQs On Shri Sai Baba Samadhi Mandir
Shirdi, Maharashtra, India:
History of the Sacred Wada: The shrine which houses Sai Baba's tomb was originally a Dagadi Wada (stone mansion) constructed during Baba's last years by a wealthy devotee from Nagpur, Shreemant Gopalrao Booty. The land itself was a garden that Sai Baba had personally tended in his earlier days, plan ting it with jasmine and marigold seeds, thus transforming a dumping ground into a place of beauty. The construction began around 1915 with the original intention of being a rest house and a temple for an idol of Murlidhar (a form of Lord Krishna). Sai Baba gave his blessing, saying, “When the temple is built, we shall inhabit it and ever afterwards live in joy.” This statement is crucial as it foreshadowed his Mahasamadhi. The Mahasamadhi: On October 15, 1918, a very auspicious Tuesday that coincided with a Hindu festival and the Muslim month of Ramzan, Sai Baba's health deteriorated. His last words were, "I am not feeling well in the Masjid (referring to Dwarkamai). Carry me to the Dagadi Wada." He was carried there and was ultimately interred exactly where the idol of Murlidhar was supposed to be placed, thus fulfilling his prophecy in a unique and spiritual way. The beautiful life-size marble idol of Sai Baba, sculpted by Late Balaji Vasant, was installed much later in 1954. Today, this Mandir is the spiritual climax for millions of devotees, representing the living presence of the saint. The complex is maintained by the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust (SSSS) and is open to all visitors irrespective of caste, creed, or religion. It is a symbol of unity and devotion. Shirdi as a town revolves entirely around this one sacred spot. (Word Count: ~405):
