Even now a large number of devotees from different religions visit Shegaon for his darshan.
Gajanan Maharaj had pre-indicated two years ahead of his giving up of his mortal coil and had informed his closest aides Balabhau and Hari Patil, the exact location where he should be interred. When people grieved he said "Dont think, I am gone. I will always be there, whenever you think of me. I will rest here." Even today several devotees get his vision in their dreams and maharaj forewarns them of any untoward incidents or any happy auguries. He attained Samadhi on 8th September, 1910.
