The transformation of the Buti Wada into the Samadhi Mandir was a profound event driven by Sai Baba's own words. The initial plan was for a temple for the deity Murlidhar. However, as Chapter 39 recounts, when Baba's health declined, Bapusaheb Buti feared the project would be for nothing. This changed dramatically with Baba's final command: "Place me in the mansion." These last words from Baba himself clarified the building's ultimate destiny. In accordance with his wishes, his holy body was placed within the inner sanctum that had been prepared. Thus, the mansion built by Buti had its 'great fortune' realized and became the revered Samadhi Mandir.
How did the Buti Wada, originally planned as a temple for Murlidhar, become the Samadhi Mandir of Sai Baba?
