How long did the Khaparde family stay in Shirdi, and what was their daily routine of devotion?

The Khaparde family, who were deeply immersed in their love for Sai Baba, had an extended stay in Shirdi. Dadasaheb himself stayed for four months, while his family remained for a total of seven months, feeling great enthusiasm with each passing day. As described in Chapter 27, their devotion was profound, particularly that of Mrs. Khaparde. The family had an 'ultimate love for Sai's feet,' and Mrs. Khaparde would personally bring a food offering, or naivedya, to the Masjid every day. Her faith was so firm that she would fast until Baba had accepted and eaten her offering, after which she would have her own meal.
