Blessed is Shirdi and blessed is Dwarkamayi where Shri Sai livedand moved until He took Mahasamadhi. Blessed are the people of Shirdiwhom He obliged and for whom He came such long distance. Shirdiwas a small village first, but it attained great importance, on account ofHis contact and became a Tirtha, holy place of pilgrimage. Equallyblessed are the womenfolk of Shirdi, blessed is their whole and undivided faith in Him. They sang the glories of Baba while bathing, grinding, pounding corn and doing other house-hold work. Blessed is their love, for they sang sweet songs which calm and pacify the minds of thesingers and listeners.
