Who was responsible for seeking Baba's permission for the Murlidhar temple, and what was Baba's immediate reaction?

📖 Chapter 39

The idea for the Murlidhar temple originated with Bapusaheb Buti. However, being a devout follower who wouldn't act without his Guru's command, he tasked Madhavrao, also known as Shama, with getting Sai Baba's opinion. As documented in Chapter 39, when Baba was on his stroll near the mansion, Shamrao (Shama) approached him and explained Bapusaheb's plan to break the side walls of the hall and install an image of Murlidhar. Hearing Shama's words, Baba's immediate reaction was one of joy. He responded, "Very well!" and gave his enthusiastic consent. To formalize the auspicious start, when asked about breaking a coconut, Baba said, "Break it, break it!" and a coconut was immediately broken, signifying his full approval.
