According to Chapter 33 of the Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba had a consistent daily routine involving the Dhuni and Udi. He would purchase bundles of firewood, pile them up, and offer the dry logs into the sacred Dhuni, a fire he kept perpetually burning in the Masjid. The ash that remained from this fire in great quantities was the sacred Udi. The chapter highlights that Baba would distribute this Udi to his devotees as a blessing. It was a daily practice for him in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and he would not let anyone leave empty-handed. This ritual of maintaining the fire and sharing its sacred ash was a well-known and integral part of life in Shirdi.
Can you describe Sai Baba's daily practice concerning the sacred fire (Dhuni) and the distribution of Udi as mentioned in the Satcharitra?
