Baba left his mortal coil during Dusserah(Vijayadasami)

In the life of Shirdi Saibaba, Dusserah celebrations are of significant importance. Saibaba has chosen "Vijayadasami" for shedding his mortal coil. Two years before the Samadhi, on the day of seemolangan, Baba was terribly angry. He tore his cloths and has thrown them in the fire as offering. The fire raised it tongues after consuming the offering. Devotees present in the Masjid were in panic. But the leper devotee who used to carry umbrella over Baba's head, approached Baba and succeeded in tying a new groin cloth. In fact, Baba was standing stark naked at the time. When devotees asked about the sudden fit of anger during "seemolangan'(crossing the borders) day, Baba said, "This is my seemolangan day". None could foresee any meaning of the words of Baba. Two years afterwards, Baba left his mortal coil at 2.30 PM on 15 Oct 1918,Tuesday. Baba laid his head on the shoulder of Bagoji, gave nine coins to Lakshmi Bai Shinde and said, "He is not comfortable in the Masjid, Take me to the wada(Buti wada) where i will become alright". These words were very significant. When there were arguments for disposing the body of Baba, people who respected Baba's final words, insisted on taking the body to Buti Wada and interring it in the place meant of Krishna. Saibaba's Divine body sleeps in the Butiwada and it is being visited and worshipped by millions around the year from everywhere in the globe. Sairam.
