The Buti Wada was destined to become Sai Baba's final resting place through a turn of events that devotees saw as fated. The initial plan was for a temple dedicated to Murlidhar. However, as Chapter 39 recounts, when Baba's health failed, the project's future was in doubt. The pivotal moment came with Baba's final instruction: "Place me in the mansion." This command from Baba's own mouth resolved all confusion. Consequently, his holy body was placed in the inner sanctum originally designed for the Murlidhar idol. In this way, the mansion became the Samadhi Mandir, and the great fortune of Buti's house was realized by becoming the sacred resting place of Shri Sai.
How did the Buti Wada, originally intended to house the idol of Murlidhar, become the final resting place of Sai Baba instead?
