- The first ever Temple/Mandir/common plaace of worship for Sainath of Shirdi was built in 1916 in Bhivpuri, a village on the way from Bombay to Poona in Maharashatra. This was built by Keshav Ramachandra Pradhan, an atheist turned Sai devotee. (Source: Sai Patham, January 2001)..
- Lakshman Joshi, the maternal uncle of Sai devotee Madhavrao Deshpande, performed the first aarthi after Baba's physical demise on October 15, 1918. Bapusaheb Jog, who used to perform aarthis to Baba, did not show up to do aarthi on the morning after Baba's physical demise thinking that Baba is no more alive.
