Why does the text mention "Shraddha" if it's not about Baba's teaching on faith? Please explain the context.

The text mentions "Shraddha" because it is the specific name for the anniversary ceremony being held for the deceased devotee, Balaji Patil Nevasakar. In this context, "Shraddha" is a proper noun for a Hindu ritual performed in remembrance of ancestors, not the general concept of faith. Chapter 35 explains that during this specific ceremony, a crisis arose when far more guests appeared than expected. This situation became the setting for a miracle demonstrating the power of Sai Baba's Udi and the unwavering faith of a devotee—the mother-in-law. Therefore, while the story is a powerful testament to faith (shraddha), the term "Shraddha" itself is used to identify the event, which can be confusing for readers unfamiliar with the ritual's name.
