Every Inch of space in this holy place vibrates with life if only one has faith.
The serene silence at night here is so soothing that one literally feels himself relieved of his burdens and offloading them at SAI's feet.
This Valkuntha of earth-the Dwarkamayi Is supremely holy and sacred.
A mighty Avatar spent His entire lifetime here and today HE rests in peace and silence & the Samadhi Mandir.
But, the holy Dwarkamayi Is still throbbing with HIS divine presence.
His oil portrait placed In the Dwarkamayi is so lively that one feels BABA is still sitting and looking at him.
A fakir that BABA resembled outwardly, HE was none but Incarnate.
The beauty of these wonderful saints is that they appear so quietly in a remote unheard of village and after fulfilling their earthly mission leave as quietly as they come.
It is then that their fame begins to spread like wildfire as they become spiritually active from their tombs.
BABA as already mentioned is an Apantaratma.
HE will therefore remain eternally active from HIS tomb to help and protect HIS devotees and all others who place their in HIM.

Before BABA's arrival in Shirdi, the Dwarkamayi was an old mosque in a dilapilated condition.
BABA turned it into Dwarkamayi.
It was the desire of Gopal Gund, land Surveyor of Kopergaon to repair this masjid after he started the Ram-Navami Urs Fair in Shirdi every year from 1897.
However, this work of repairing the masjid was not assigned to him but for Nana Chandorkar and the pavement work for Kaka Dixit.
Initially,BABA refused permission to have these Jobs done but on theintervention of Bhagat Mhalsapathy, HIS consent was obtained.
The work of restoration of the masjid together with the Sabha Mandap was completed in 1911.
How fortunate is this mosque where BABA chose to stay In Shirdi.
For decades and centuries, this mosque may have been left unused and allowed to decay.
When BABA first stayed In this mosque, it was so dilapilated that one feared if the walls of the roof would crumble down on him.
The masjid bore the full brunt of heat, rain and cold and made it useless for inhabitation.
It was a wonder how BABA spent a good 60 years in this mosque when one could not live there for a single day.
It is believed that BABA Himself in some earlier lives had connection with Shirdi and even of this Dwarkataayi mosque.
Shri Sainath being a God incarnate.
His actions all resemble some past links and what HE did always had a deeper meaning beyond ordinarly human intellect.
It was only the saints and God realised souls who could understand BABA and realise His greatness and His actions.
