The first indication Baba gave about making preparations of leaving His body was two years before His Samadhi, in the year 1916. People had crossed the village border to enter Shirdi to pay their respects to Baba and the moment they arrived He flew into a rage, which was unseen before. It was Vijayadasami or Dasera, and two years later on the same day, Dussehra though according to a few astrologers it was on Ekadashi Baba would take Samadhi. Baba removed His bandana, which He rarely did in front of devotees, tore His kafni, removed His undergarment, called langot, and threw them all into Dhuni Mai.
