The original plan for the building known as the Buti Wada was for it to be a temple dedicated to the deity Murlidhar. As detailed in Chapter 39, Bapusaheb Buti envisioned a structure with a central courtyard and a throne for the idol. When Shama presented this plan to Sai Baba, he responded with joy, giving his full permission. Baba stated, "After the temple is complete, we too shall come to stay there." He further prophesied that they would all talk, walk, and play together in the finished mansion, enjoying a "bounty of joy." He then authorized the start of the work by instructing them to break a coconut for the foundation ceremony.
What was the original purpose for the Buti Wada, and how did Sai Baba respond to the plan?
