Dhwarakamai

Gopal Gund who started the Urs thought that he should repair the Masjid. But that job was for Nana Chandorkar, and the pavement work for Dixit. Permission at first was not granted, but, on the intervention of Mahalsapathi, it was granted. Dixit wanted to extend the space in from of the Masjid so that the devotees could use it. He got the material and at night did the work while Baba slept in the Chavadi. But the next morning Baba came and uprooted everything. In 1911 this Sabha Mandap was put in order with great efforts.( Sai Satcharitra Ch-VI)

An incident is mentioned, how Baba caught hold of one post with one hand and Tatya’s pheta He burnt it offering one rupee from His pocket. Seeing this strange behaviour none dared to intervene. After cooling down He brought one beautiful embroidered pheta and Himself tied it on Tatya’s head. As if Tatya was being given a special honour.(Sai Satcharitra Ch-VI)

After this incident Baba Allowed the work to go on smoothly and thus the devotees had a place for worshipping Baba. The pavilioin is still there where the devotees can see and participate in the worship of Baba and also touch the sacred articles used by Baba.
