Lets explore Shirdi-Why Dwarakamai?

4. Gopal Kala

Lord Krishna practised Gopal Kala (parched rice mixed with curds etc. in an

earthen pot). Baba too mixed all the food in the Kolamba and partook of it

and distributed it to all. Gopal Kala is performed by the Sansthan on the

completion of all ceremonies at Shirdi.

5. Our Dwarakamai

But the best explanation is given in English Sai Satcharitra Ch. IV.

Definition of Dwaraka quoted from Skanda Purana 'The place where the doors

are open for all people regardless of caste, community and creed, for

accomplishing Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha is called Dwaraka'-

Baba's Masjid in Shirdi is open to one and all.
