About Sai baba

Sri Sai Baba lived in the Masjid, named later on as Dwarakamai and led a simple life. Nobody knew 'whether he was a Hindu or a Muslim. He dressed like a 'Muslim but behaved like a Hindu. He gave medicine to the poor, nursed the sick and gave them 'udi'(Holy Ash) which proved to be more than medicine in miraculously curing from all diseases. His divine powers were first exhibited when he lighted lamps in which water was put in instead of oil. The saint used to collect alms in the village and put them in an earthen vessel and consumed as when required. His healing powers and selfless service to the poor attracted several devotees, who rushed to Shirdi and Shirdi became a place of pilgrimage. Morning and evening prayers(Arti) were started with great zeal.
