What happened to Sai Baba's body after he passed away? Was there any dispute about it?

Yes, following his mahasamadhi, there was a significant deliberation among the devotees and villagers that lasted for twenty-six hours. Chapter 43 details the differing opinions on how to handle his sacred body. One group argued that he should be taken to the Muslim cemetery. Another faction, including Khushalchand and Amir Shakkar, proposed building a beautiful tomb over his body in an open space. However, the final decision was guided by Baba's own words. Patil Ramachandra, a village official, was very firm in recalling that Baba had said, "Let this body stay in the Wada." Consequently, what was destined to happen, happened, and his body was placed in the grand Wada built by the devotee Butti.
