What was the Buti Wada originally supposed to be, and how did Sai Baba react to the initial plans?

📖 Chapter 39

The Buti Wada was originally planned by Bapusaheb Buti to be a temple and mansion complex. The design featured a central courtyard where a throne would be placed for an idol of the deity Murlidhar. According to Chapter 39, when Shama presented this plan to Sai Baba, he responded with joy and gave his full permission. Baba even declared, "After the temple is complete, we too shall come to stay there." He further elaborated on his intention to use the mansion, saying they would all talk, walk, and play together there, embracing each other with love. His approval was sealed when he instructed them to break a coconut to begin the work.
