Laxmibai Shinde was a virtuous and deeply devoted follower of Sai Baba, whose deeds were said to be as good as her name. According to Chapter 42, her service was so great that she was one of the few devotees, along with Bhagat Mhalsapati and Dada, who were permitted to be in the mosque with Baba even during the night. Her primary service was providing Baba with food; she would lovingly prepare and bring him vegetables and bread (Bhaji-Bhakar) on time every day. Her devotion was recognized by Baba, who chose her as the recipient of his final act of charity, giving her a gift of money just moments before he left his body.
