What was Sai Baba's daily routine regarding the Dhuni and the distribution of Udi as detailed in Chapter 33 of the Sai Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 33

According to Chapter 33 of the Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba had a consistent daily practice involving the sacred fire, or Dhuni. The chapter explains that he would buy bundles of firewood, often from those who had a surplus, and pile them up. He would then offer these dry logs to the Dhuni he kept perpetually burning in the mosque. The resulting sacred ash, or Udi, was collected in great quantities. Baba would then distribute this Udi to his devotees. This was not a sporadic event; the text emphasizes it was a daily ritual. Baba would give Udi to devotees when they arrived, during their stay, and especially when they sought permission to leave Shirdi, never sending anyone away empty-handed.
