shirdi sai baba shirdi temple made of gold

I made a quick visit to Shirdi, while I was travelling to Ajanta and Ellora Caves in Aurangabad. As the time passed, his devotees erected a grand temple over the Samadhi (burial place) of Sai Baba. He was buried in Shirdi Village by his devotees. He left this mortal world in the year 1918 to the God’s Adobe. But, nobody is immortal and so was the saint. The fame of Baba was widespread with the time. The taste of the leaves of a Neem Tree under that he used to sit turned in to a sweet one from bitter. The ashes from his dhuni (fire place) were sacred enough to cure the incurable diseases. His touch was sufficient enough to cure the patients. He was a charismatic person, whose blessings were sufficient to heal the pain of the mankind. His teaching was the combination of elements from Hindu as well as Muslim religion.

He gave the mantra (epigram) of Sabka Malik Ek (One God Governs All). They considered him as an avatar (form) of the God, however Baba was actually lived an ascetic life. As the stories of those miracles widespread in the region, many people from different parts of India started coming Shirdi to seek the blessings of that saint. That divine saint lived there for many years and the village was blessed by his miracles.

A local temple priest recognized him as a Muslim saint and greeted him with the words “ Ya Sai” meaning Welcome Sai. This story began in the beginning of the 19th century, when a divine saint came in this village. He is revered equally by Hindus and Muslims, as by people of other religions around the world. Millions of devotees from all around the world come every year to seek the blessings of Sai Baba of Shirdi. Now, easily accessible by major cities in the region, it is one of the most visited pilgrimage center in India. Shirdi was once a small village in Ahamad Nagar District of Maharashtra, away from the limelight and people’s attractions.
