sai baba shirdi do not go for lavish food

When the priest Mahalsapati saw him he welcomed him and addressed him as Sai. In 1858, Sai Baba returned to Shirdi at the Khandoba Mandir. It is also believed that he met with many religious people in the year that he was away from Shirdi. He stated that he fought with Rani Lakshmibai’s army in 1857. There is no evidence of what he did when he left the village.

Some of his visitors were Mahalsapati, Kashinatha and Appa Jogle. The villagers wondered at the young boy who did not associate with anyone and feared none. He lived as an ascetic and sat in an Asana, meditating under a neem tree despite his young age. He stayed there for three years, went away for a year and then came back for good around 1858. It is believed that Sai Baba came to Shirdi when he was 16 years old. He had in-depth knowledge of both Hinduism and Islam. Sai Baba of Shirdi has also stated that the wife of the Fakir entrusted him to a Hindu Guru Venkusa of Selu. He stated that he was the child of Deshastha Brahmins in Pathri village but was brought up by a Fakir in his infancy. He gave two different versions of his childhood.

Sai Baba himself was evasive in replies to questions about his origins. It is thought that Sai Baba was born in a place near Shirdi and with the name Haribhau Bhusari. There are no definitive records to confirm Baba’s early years.
