Before departing the Masjid for the Chavadi, Sai Baba would observe a few specific rituals. He would always wait for Tatya Patil to arrive before being ready to leave. Once Tatya came, he would help Baba to his feet. After Tatya placed a beautiful golden-bordered shawl over Him, Baba would perform two distinct actions. As described in Chapter 37, He would go to a spot where firewood was kept and move His right big toe there for a moment. Immediately after, He would personally wave His right hand over a burning flame to extinguish it before finally setting out for the procession.
Can you describe the specific personal actions and rituals Sai Baba performed just before leaving the Masjid for the Chavadi procession?
