Shree Sai Baba used to get up early in the morning and used to seat near the Dhuni (sacred fire place) facing south. In the meantime Baba’s devotee Madhav Phasle would carry out his usual services that of cleaning the Masjid, replacing the fuel in the Dhuni. Sometimes Baba used to mutter words like “Yade Hag”. Then Kakad aarti used to be offered by the devotees. Baba’s devotee Madhav Phasle used to offer bucket full of water to wash his mouth and face. He had a peculiar way of batheing, normally he used to sit on a plank and bathe. During this time some of the Baba’s devotees had seen him vomiting/removing his intestine out and cleaning it thoroughly with water and place them on a small shrub to dry and he would swallow them again. Baba always wore a garment made of coarse whitish (Kafni) and tied a small piece of cloth around his head. Very rarely Baba tied lungi around his waist, and after washing his Kafni with water, he dried it above the sacred fire and wore it. Usually he changed the Kafni. In every two or three months but whenever he decieded to change the Kafni, Baba sent for the Tailor and told him to get a Kafni. When he brought it he used to pay the tailor more than its worth, normally he used to throw the old Kafni in the sacred fire and bowed his head (did namaskar) or would distribute it to some of his devotees.

Daily approximately at 7:30 a.m Baba used to go out to ask “Bhiksha” (Alms). Generally he used to visit only selected five houses. While going out for seeking “Bhiksha” Baba would fold a garment over his shoulders in the form of a bag which dangled below his left arm as shown in the picture and holder a tin mug in his other hand and he called out “Mother please give me roti” He used to receive all the types of food like milk, roti, vegetable, etc all mixed in the mug. After returning from Masjid he used to put small roti’s and rice in the sacred fire and and rest of the food in a uncovered mud pot. He never kept any food stored for the next meal. There was no restriction for the cats, dogs or even the beggars for talking this free food from the pot. Baba never cared for the taste of the food while eating. Approximately at 9’oclock Baba used to go to stroll in Lendibaug, which is now known as “Nanda Deep” (sacred lamp). Baba’s devotees offered him pots full of water and placed them near Baba. Then Baba would go on pouring water in various directions. What that and why Baba did that still remains a mystery.

Approximately at 10’oclock Baba used to return back to Dwarkamai during this time various devotees visited Dwarkamai to give various services to him some of his devotees started pressing his legs, offered garlands, worship, applied tilak on his forehead etc, many a times Baba used to demand Dakshina (monetary gift) from the devotees (because would like to remove their difficulties ). He used to offer blessings by removing diseases, giving rebirth or solving their problems of life.

Approximately at 3 p.m visitors started coming to Masjid, some of them use to carry out bhajans, kirtans and some came to solve their problems or to get rid from their sorrows and pains . In the evening Baba used to walk in the front yard of the masjid and stood sometimes near outer wall and used to chit-chat with the passengers or people passing by, then approximately at 5’oclock he again went to Lendibaugh along with Babusaheb Dixit and Tatya Patil and returned back to Dwarkamai. At the time of sunset Sajaarti (evening aarti) was carried out. After the aarti Baba used to offer Dakshina from Rs.4/- to Rs.55/-. Then he used to take dinner at 9 p.m.

On 10th October 1909, Baba started sleeping at chawdi and sejaarti started. He used to sleep at Chawdi along with number of white colored bedsheets one above the other and always kept a lamp burning near him. Before going to bed he used to inform Tatya Patil to go home and meantime please take care of me. In Dwarkamai sometimes Baba used to sleep on suspended plank approximately 7 to 8 feet above ground and about 1 to 2 feet below the roof, which was, tighten with a thin strip of cloth. This cloth was very thin it was difficult to hold the weight of the plank also. People wondered that how Baba used to climb and get down but no one were able to see Baba doing so. In dwarkamai their was a brick on which Baba used to take below his head, this brick was very dear to him and cried when it broke.

BABA spend his life throughout in shirdi. He never left shirdi during night time. Lots of people began to harres and were not ready to help him. After doing some miracles people began to harres and were not ready to help him. After doing some miracles people started worshiping him. But he always says "I am a servant of God". He solves the problems and give guidelines to whomsoever approaches to him, some of them are been given futrue guidelines by him. He has removed some of them from the mouth of death. He has given wealth, child, happiness, blessing, etc. During this time BABA had his important devotees like Sir Madhav Rao Deshpande, Mr. Tatya Patil kote, Dr. Pillay, Mr. Pilagi Gurav, Mr. Hari Sitaram Dixit, Mr. Anna Saheb Dobolkar, Mr. Dadasaheb Khaperde, Mr. Shagun Meru Nayeke, Mr. Babu Saheb Butte, Mr. Bahu Saheb Dhumal, Mr. Madhav Faslee, Mr. Babasaheb Dave Mamledar, Mrs. Radhakrishna Mike and Mr. Damu Anna Rasne.
