Sai Baba bestowed immense significance upon the masjid in Shirdi, referring to it as the 'Dwarkamai' or 'Mother Dwarka.' In a conversation detailed in Chapter 22, Baba explicitly states, 'This is our Mother Dwarka.' He explained that the masjid is a merciful mother to her devotees, particularly the simple-hearted. Baba taught that by sitting in her lap, his followers could find fearlessness and protection from all worries and dangers. He assured them that once a person has taken refuge in the Dwarkamai's shadow, their crises are resolved, and they can ascend 'the throne of happiness.' This illustrates that Baba saw the physical space of the masjid as a living, protective, maternal spiritual force for all who sought shelter there.
