Sai Baba during his last days used to listen to religious and sacred stories. He was becoming weaker everyday but no devotees were allowed to go near him. His disciples guarded his body for three days. He took a Samadhi on October 15, 1918 when he predicted he would pass away soon. He was tired on people worshiping him for material gains and the constant debate about his religion. He always believed in one God. It was the day of Dusshera, he decided to cross the 'border.' He went bare and announced the day of the end of his physical body. His remains were interred at "Buti Wada" in Shirdi. It is the same place where  Shree Samadhi Mandir or Shirdi Sai Baba Temple has been constructed. Thousands of devotees throng this place on this day and worship the Shri Sai Baba.
