Just before 12-15 days before Lord Sai Baba’s Samadhi Purandare and Kakasaheb were at Shirdi. Lord Baba literally forced them to go back to Mumbai. Initially they were hesitant to return as they had arrived few back. Lord Baba said to them, "Now My Samadhi will speak to you. They had no idea what Lord Baba was pointing them to because it was usual with Him to speak in some unusual code language, which no one used to understand.<br>
<br>
After reaching Mumbai in a span of couple of days, when Kakasahebreceived news of Lord Sai Baba not keeping well, he rushed to Shirdi before three days of Lord Sai Baba’s Maha Samadhi i.e. on October 12, 1918. That was truely Lord Baba’s indication to call him in that rush hour as He knew that Kakasaheb would be the person responsible for making Baba’s Samadhi at Butiwada. It is very well known that there were a lot of <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/01/this-fakir-is-very-kind.html" target="_blank">discussions</a> about where to keep Baba. Some said in Dwarkamai, some suggested outside anywhere but not in Dwarkamai and the debate went on. Ramchandraji Patil did not agree with anyone. He insisted that it was Lord Baba’s wish to keep Him in <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2008/11/brief-information-regarding-shirdi.html" target="_blank">Buti Wada</a>. Many people opposed him but he was firm and left alone.  <br>

In today's analytically-focused <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/03/end-of-shoot-for-telugu-film-jagathguru.html" target="_blank">generation</a> living in a <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2014/08/what-makes-us-sai-devotee.html" target="_blank">materialistic goal</a> focus and also tackling the younger generation grown-up on scientific- technological appliances, cinema role-models, the following write-up will help devotees to worship Sri Sai better - whatever the dominant mindsets are at that time. Also parents can train children to respect Sri Sai and follow His teachings in their lives as they grow up by understanding and following any of the below given 2 approaches.<br>
<br>
Understanding Sri Sai may be done in 2 ways -
a) <b>DESCENT approach</b> : As an Avatar (Divine Incarnation) - which is a Descent of God from Heaven downwards to earth taking on a human-sheath to carry out His 'Dharma Samsthaapana' purpose (reinstating <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2014/12/role-of-shirdi-sai-baba-in-promoting.html" target="_blank">righteousness</a>). The Descent way suits the religiously-minded and emotionally-oriented -  who having seen/read/experienced Sri Sai's superhuman powers accept Him as an Avatar without question without debate once they are convinced. Thereafter their worship of Sai is just like that of the other Gods with appropriate rituals, etc. <br>
<br>
In Sri Sai's case, He manifested at a time when the country was subject to a thousand years of <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2009/10/sai-prerna-transliteration-and.html" target="_blank">slavery</a> and with belief decreased in God's powers, and with the poor people suffering from various 'Samsaric' (worldly/temporal) sufferings, money debts and other oppression - amidst an <a href="http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/2010/12/complete-shirdi-guide-mosque-named.html" target="_blank">influx</a> of a mix of foreign traditions and new speculative 'adharmic' ideas. Sri Sai became an anchor in the whirlpool of Indian Kurukshetra (historical Indian battlefield) who steered His devotees towards the true goal of self-realization and God-realization.<br>

<br>
Shirdi Sai Baba used to impart various philosophies and teachings for spiritual upliftment of His devotees. These philosophies were noted down and included in <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2009/06/ask-free-sai-satcharitra-free-udi-and.html" target="_blank">Sai Satcharitra</a>. These philosophies when adhered to, gives practical solution to our problems even today. Apart from solving problems, we also progress in the path of spirituality which ultimately leads us to Sai Baba. <br>
<br>
Today's generation has shifted their attention to curb knowledge from books to internet. Soft copies are preferred and given priority. Eye vision is given importance than the feeling of touch. Baba's teachings are no exception to this. <br>
