All the devotees desired that the last rites of Shree Baba Maharaj should take place in the plot owned by Shree Baba Maharaj only. Hence special permission was obtained from the District Collector of Pune, Shri Chinmulgund ICS and the last rites of Shree Baba Maharaj was carried out on 19th August 1954 in the personal plot, 937/D, Chatushringer Road, Shivajinagar, Pune – 16.
This plot, mentioned above was offered as a gift through valid papers, to Shree Baba Maharaj, by one of his devotees, Shri K.R. Wagh.
After celebrating the death anniversary of Shree Swami Samarth during the month of April 1955, Shree Maharaj and Shri Pandurangrao Marballi, had been to Goa for some work. In those days, there was only one route to go from Bharat (India) to Goa, which was via Majali, near Karwar for which necessary permit from Portuguese Government was required. After staying in Goa for some time, they wanted to come to Pune to celebrate the first death anniversary of Shree Baba Maharaj. Since time was short, it was not possible for them to come via Majali. As a shortcut, both walked for a distance of 10-15 miles from Castle Rock via Londa and come to a place called Dudhsagar near Castle Rock. But at Castle Rock, the Indian Authorities did not allow them to cross the border. Hence both came to a place called Mashel and went to the house of a devotee Shri Anna Kamat and celebrated the first death anniversary of Shree Baba Maharaj.
After Shree Baba Maharajs Mahasamadhi, Shree Maharaj came to Pune after eight months. He met some devotees of Shree Baba Maharaj. After taking the required permission from the daughter of Shree Baba Maharaj, Smt. Nirmalatai Neelkant Khare, Shree Maharaj erected a tin shed Math (temple-shrine) of the size 12 x 15 with photograph of Shree Baba Maharaj on the plot 937/D, (survey no.312/D) on the location, where last rites of Shree Baba Maharaj took place. Afterwards, on 18th August 1956, Shree Maharaj took the plot 937/D on rental basis for a period of 30 years (duly registered) with an yearly rent of Rs.300/- from Smt. Nirmalatai Khare. After this, Shree Maharaj started looking after the Math (temple-shrine) of Shree Baba Maharaj regularly.
It is true that full blessings of a Sadguru (preceptor) are essential for a disciple to accept the total lifelong responsibility to look after and maintain the Math (temple-Shrine) but it is also true that a firm mental resolve is essential for a disciple to reserve his entire life in the service of his sadguru (preceptor). The determined purpose, positive nature free from doubts, unflinching faith in sadguru, a firm conviction that the sadguru is the sole performer of everything, and the sole devotion of a disciple can only accomplish the accepted works.
Shree Maharaj has set an example to the devotees by his very lofty ideals and boundless devotion to his sadguru Shree Baba Maharaj.
