When they dug, bricks were found underneath a flat stone. When the stone was removed, a corridor (cave) was seen in which four lamps were ablaze, the corridor led to a cellar where a cow mouth shaped structure, wooden boards and necklaces were seen. The place was so impressive, it mystified all. God Khandoba said about Sai ‘This lad practiced meditation here for 12 years”. Hearing this, devotees of God khandoba were thrilled and they started questioning the young lad. On being questioned the young man had explained that the site of the excavation was the place where his Guru had lived. In later years, the devotees of Sai Baba came to believe that it must have been for this reason that he spent sixty years of his life in an obscure village like Shirdi. They closed the corridor as before. Mahalsapathi and other devotees regarded this as resting place (samadhi sthana) of Baba’s guru and prostrated before it. Now well known as Gurusthan in Shirdi, which is the heart of the temple premises. Anyone who offers incense sticks on Thrusday and Friday is benefited.
