Mhalsapathy was a goldsmith by caste and profession. He was an uneducated young man. Khandoba was his family diety. With his own money he had built a temple for Khandoba at Shirdi. He led a life of poverty but always remained contented, with implicit faith in God. He was possessed with the spirit of Khandoba and when he was in trance, he solved many problems of the villagers. He was detached to worldly pleasures. This led him on to spiritual path and made him highly respected by the villagers. He had two daughters and Sai Baba blessed him with a son in 1897. He told Mhalsapathy to look after his son for 25 years. Indirectly Baba hinted that by then Mhalsapathy also would die. He died in 1922.
