Sai Baba's distribution of Udi was a consistent and meaningful daily practice, as described in Chapter 33. The Udi was created from the sacred Dhuni, a fire he kept constantly burning with firewood logs. He would give this sacred ash to devotees in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, ensuring no one left his presence empty-handed. Furthermore, the act of giving Udi held special significance for those leaving Shirdi. When a devotee asked for permission to return to their village, Baba granting them Udi was understood as the true sign of his permission, filling the devotee with enthusiasm for their journey.
How did Sai Baba incorporate the giving of Udi into his daily interactions with devotees in Shirdi?
