Slowly when villegers get aware about his special power of solving the problems of poor needy people this less known fakir was known by the name Shri Sai Baba. He always remains calm, undisturbed, and in the saint's spiritual glory. As the days passed, the villege Shirdi has become a center of pilgrimage. People started realising that he is not an ordinary person, because such powers are not present in a normal human being. Then he started spreading his services throughout, and many people started believing his power.
