Tales
Shirdi Sai Baba predicted his departure from his mortal body in August 1918. In September, he fell ill and stopped eating. He passed away in October and was buried at Buti Wada in Shirdi. Today, this site is known as Shree Samadhi Mandir or Shirdi Sai Baba Temple and serves as a place of worship for his millions of followers worldwide.
History
In August 1918, Shirdi Sai Baba informed some of his devotees that he would soon be "leaving his mortal body". Towards the end of September, he developed a high fever and stopped eating. As his condition worsened, he requested his disciples to recite holy texts to him, while still meeting visitors. On 15th October 1918, coinciding with the Vijayadashami festival, he passed away. His remains were buried at Buti Wada in Shirdi, which later became a place of worship now known as Shree Samadhi Mandir or Shirdi Sai Baba Temple.
