SAI IN RAMAYAN: Lord’s Paadukas: In Ramayana, Bharatha went to the forest to request Ram to return and rule Ayodhya. But Ram refused to return. So Baratha asked for Ram’s Padukas. Baratha kept these padukas in the throne and paid reverent homage to the Padukas. He worshipped these Padukas with great respect. In the 5th chapter of Sai Sat Charita there is a similar incident. Bai Krishnaji thought that there must be some memorial of the fact of Sai Baba’s coming to Shirdi and sitting under the neem tree. So he consulted with Upasani Maharaj and others and made the Padukas. Baba touched the Padukas and asked them to install on Sravana poornima day at the Gurusthan . But after installation, Baba said that the padukas were not His , but were the feet of the Lord and asked the people to worship it as Lord’s Padukas.
