Baba’s Padukas

These marbles Padukas are placed on a pedestal. Two verses of Upasani’s Sai Mahima Stotra are engraved on it.


Bhai Alibagkar wished to install Padukas under the neem tree but could not do so. He communicated this idea to Dr.Ram Rao Kothari who readily agreed with it. In consultation with Upasani and other Devotees, beautiful marble Padukas were made at Bombay. They were installed on Shravana 15th day of 1912. On that day at 11.00 AM G.K.Dixit brought them on his head from Khandoba’s temple to Dwarakamai in procession. Baba touched the Padukas saying “These are the feet of the Lord” and asked them to install ‘the Padukas’ under the Neem tree. Four Brahmins representing four Vedas, came from Kopergoan for performing the ceremony, and local devotees joyously participated in the function. Baba contributed Rs.25/- for the function. G.K.Dixit, then L.K.Jakhadi, did worship of the Padukas. Now the Sansthan Pujari does abhishek and alankar daily.
