He warned him not to say anyone, otherwise, he would die. And he remembered baba, thought that it was his blessing went running to Dwarakamai.Īt the same time, baba leaned on Baija Appaji Patil and talk to him secretly. He stood up surprised to see about his health condition. At the same Tattya who is the favorite devotee suffering from severe disease suddenly recovered and his pulse got normal. All of a sudden baba has a severe cough and had blood vomiting. As it was baba order everyone left to their houses. It was around 1 PM, Baba ordered everyone to leave Dwarakamai quickly.

Then baba explained to everyone that he was running after thieves who came to his devotee Kharparde house in Amaravathi. Everyone in Shiridi wakes up for that sound. Suddenly baba came out Dawarakamai and started shouting and making high noise with Sataka.
On the night of Oct 14, the baba was taking rest in Dawarakamai and only a few devotees were with baba and remaining left to their home. Devotes were very much worried for him, they used to stay in Dawarakamai continuously to take care of baba. He used to give advice and Udi to devote who came to him for help. But there is no change in his determined look for his devotees. Baba’s body became very lean and the shiny eyes of baba were sunken. He is used to eating some food and used to feed the remaining food to animals and birds. But he never stopped taking biksha(Alms) from houses. He was so weak and unable to do anything by himself. He just sat and gave directions to the devotees. When Shirdi Sai Left Us – How baba looked in Last Days: In that way, baba helped the tiger soul to rest in peace. And seeing baba fall down on the floor and took his last breath. Baba looked into the tiger’s eyes deeply, tiger started shedding tears. One seeing baba, tiger eyes were filled with love and worship. They brought the tiger to the Dawarakamai, the tiger was very weak and it is suffering from some serious diseases. That day Dawarakamai was busy with all devotees and baba was blessing his devotes and distributing Udi, there came a group of people with a tiger in the cart. Nobody is allowed to go near him, Shama and Nana Chandorkar used to take care of Baba. All the puja and aarthi were done there as usual. He used lean towards a wall of Dawarakamai( Mosque). On 8 October 1918, Sai Baba was very weak. Actually this was tradition to read the religious books before a person who is ready to leave his body. This is done morning and evening after Pooja and aarthi. Sai baba during his last days used make his devotee’s to read religious holy books and he used teach the inner meaning for those messages.
