#Mhalsapati was a poor #devotee (hereditary #goldsmith known as Sonar Community) of #shirdi village who worshipped his hereditary deity Khandoba (known also as Mahalsapathi). His full name was Mahalsapati Chimnaji Nagare. His family were #residents of Shirdi for several generations. Mhalsapathi was the one who owes the name of #saibaba as we know it today. He uttered 'Ya Sai,' when Baba made His first appearance at the Khandoba temple along with the #marriage party of Chandbhai. Saibaba used to call Mahalsapati 'Sonarda,' and later on 'Bhagat' i.e. close disciple.

The family had a scanty #income from the voluntary offerings at their temple which went towards the temple #maintenance and all that he owned was a mud #house in the village for residence, yielding no income, and 7-1/2 acres of #land (evidently barren) without water supply, which also yielded practically nothing. Mahalsapati and his friends considered Baba to be a Guru for themselves and Mahalsapati was the first in the group to worship Baba.

Sometimes, he went without #food for a fortnight and so would his family. Mahalsapathy would refuse offers of food and #money and this is a very important point about him. His store of merit was heightened by lasting vigils, and reading sacred #literature and if he accepted #gifts, he believed that his merit would be lost. Therefore, he strongly opposed accepting any gifts even though he and his family would be starving. For about 40 years, Mahalsapati benefitted in innumerable ways from Baba’s physical presence. He was an example of great devotion, surrender and detachment. Baba kept a watch over him whether he was near or far and gave him warnings and afforded relief where necessary.

In today's video, we are taking you to the house of Mhalsapati, a great devotee of #Sai.
