Shirdi is a small village in Kopargam taluk in Ahmadnagar District of the Maharashtra State. When Sai Baba, the great ascetic first arrived from Panthri village in Maharashtra in 1858 to Shirdi, it was only a tiny hamlet of 80 thatched houses with mud walls. A man of principle, Sai Baba, as he was lovingly called by his Hindu and Muslim followers, devoted his entire life in teaching the common path of Hinduism and Islam. He always believed and professed Sabka malik ek (nullmeaning one God governs all). He spent the last years of his life in Shirdi until he attained the maha samadhi (nullleft his physical body) on 15 October 1918. Even years after his death, devotees throng this religious place round the year to pay their tributes.
