Sai Baba attended Dev's Udyapan ceremony through his divine power of appearing in a different form at a distant location. Chapter 40 explains that Baba appeared at Dev's home in the guise of a Sanyasi. He first came alone before the meal and then returned at the designated time with two other companions, just as he had promised. Baba himself confirmed this to Jog, stating, "In the worldly sense, I did not move from here; but I came and ate at the Udyapan. I said I would come with two others, and I went with two others." This leela demonstrates Baba's omnipresence, showing that he could fulfill his promise to a devotee without being physically bound to one place.
How did Sai Baba manage to attend Dev's feast without ever leaving Shirdi?
