What happened when Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar neglected his father's Shraddha ceremony?

📖 Chapter 4

When Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar came to Shirdi, Sai Baba revealed that he knew Bhagwantrao's father, calling him a friend. As detailed in Chapter 4, Baba admonished Bhagwantrao for neglecting his father's 'Shraddha' (death anniversary) and for ceasing the worship and food offerings to the family's Vitthal idol. Baba stated that by doing so, Bhagwantrao was not only keeping the idol of Vitthal hungry but also Baba himself. Baba explained that he had specifically pulled Bhagwantrao to Shirdi to remind him of these duties and to encourage him to resume the worship, demonstrating Baba's concern for the continuation of devotional and familial duties.
