Just
behind the Gurusthan was this Sathe
Wada. Baba told Hari Vinayak Sathe
" Pull down the village wall
and build", meaning to build
a residential building there and to
include the village wall. So he bought
the land and built the Wada. (SSS
Ch IV). This wada was the sole
resting place for the pilgrims who
flocked there. When the construction
was going on, the walls had to be
raised, and some of the branches of
the Neem tree had to be cut off. No
one dared to touch it, but Baba said
"Cut off so much as interferes
with the construciton. Even if our
foetus lies athwart, the womb must
be cut". Still non dared, then
Baba came Himself and cut the obstructing
branches. This Wada was bought by
Navalkar and then by the Sansthan.

This Wada is adjacent to Gurusthan.
Kaka Dixit was so pleased with the
darshan of Baba that he dediced to
reside in Shirdi. So he built this
Wada on 10.12.1910. In this Wada a
small room upstairs was used by Dixit
for 'Ekanta Dhyan.' Baba said 'Kaka,
remain in your Wada, upstairs, do
not go here and there, do not even
come to Dwarakamai.' so for nine months
Kaka strictly stayed obeyed Baba's
orders. Shyama stayed in this WAda
and lovingly took care of it. When
the Sansthan was formed he moved back
to his residence and later this Wada
was used as 'Prasadalay' that thoughtfully
catered to the needs of the devotees
just as Dixit lovingly fed many devotees
earlier. Later this same Wada was
used as a Tea Canteen for some years. |
