Upasani Maharaj (1870–1941) lived four years in nearby Shirdi as a disciple of Sai Baba before starting his ashram in Sakori in July 1917. He continued to live in Sakori until his death in 1941.

The master Meher Baba was initiated in Sakori after a seven-year discipleship with Upasni Maharaj that began in 1915 when Upasni was living at Shirdi and continued at Sakori from 1917 to 1922.[2]
