history

“Shirdi Diary” – the well known historical dictionery about Shri Shirdi Sai Baba which was written by G.S.Khaparde was not only a renowned lawyer and learned Scholar of Sanskrit and Marathi, but was also a distinguished aid of Lokmanya Tilak, India’s great leader, and a member of the Central Legislative Assembly. He kept a Diary of his visits to Shirdi and recorded the day to day happenings as a keen observer. His diary is an invaluable record of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba’s routine, behaviour and happenings at Shirdi as witnessed by him. Baba created the impression that khaparde preferred only the company of the whimsical Fakir (Baba), left his lucrative practice and also political life and was keeping aloof from the society and this impression made the British Government drop the Prosecution of Khaparde. He wrote 46 diaries on events relating to Baba and these diaries are the Primary Source of written document about Shirdi Sai Baba.
