In 2013, as part of the Sat Seva practice, devotees were carefully inspecting them and placing the coconuts on plates. All were intact then, but by the end of Sai Bhajans & divine sessions, it was noticed that amazingly they all cracked by their own
While this is so exciting to witness, the message behind this is equally elevating. Bhai ji says the cracking of the shell of the coconut represents breaking free from our various desires and tendencies within our body. Only once we destroy the feeling of arrogance will we be able to open ourselves to Sai Baba with pure love.

It is said that by the mere darshan of Sai Baba’s Charan Paduka, all miseries come to an end. Every Thursday, many devotees of Sai Baba get together at Sai Dham Canada to do Sai Aarti and offer puja to Baba's Padukas. Devotees believe that by bowing to the padukas, Baba bestows material and spiritual prosperity upon his devotees who lovingly attend on him.
On Parayan days, Sai Dham Canada conducts a procession of the Palkhi (Babas' carriage) while singing bhajans with great devotion.
