Just before departing for the Chavadi, Sai Baba would perform a unique set of actions as detailed in Chapter 37. After Tatya Patil had arrived and placed a shawl over Him, Baba would approach a bundle of firewood kept against a wall. There, He would first move His right big toe at that spot for a moment. Immediately after, He would personally wave His right hand over the burning flame of a lamp there, extinguishing it Himself. Only after completing this sequence would He set out for the procession.
