Can you describe Sai Baba's daily routine in Shirdi involving the Dhuni and the distribution of Udi as detailed in Chapter 33?

📖 Chapter 33

Chapter 33 of the Shri Sai Satcharita provides a detailed account of Sai Baba's daily practices centered around the sacred fire, or Dhuni. Baba would regularly ask for Dakshina (offerings), which he used for charitable deeds for the poor. He would also buy bundles of firewood, sometimes from those who had a surplus, and pile them up. These dry logs were then offered into the ever-burning Dhuni in the mosque. The ash that remained from this fire, known as Udi, was then distributed to devotees. The text highlights that Baba would give Udi to devotees at various times of the day—morning, afternoon, and evening—and never sent anyone away empty-handed. This distribution was a consistent daily practice in Shirdi, as described in this chapter.
