Shri Sai Narayan Baba hardly sleeps at night (as Shirdi Baba used to do) and gets up daily at 1.40a.m. mid-night for his daily Sadhana and Sansthan Work. At 2.30a.m. he along with Sri R.K Nihalani (the Sansthan Office Manager & Security Incharge) and Armed Security Staff, inspects the entire premises of the Sansthan which included all the rooms, bath-rooms, water-taps, electric fans, lights, cleanliness of "Sri Sai Kutir", "Sri Pandu Kutir", "Sri Pandu-Baug" and Sansthan Gaushala Which consists of Holstein Cows of Holland. Further Sri Sai Narayan Baba along with Security Staff visits Sri Bhagawati Sai Mandir, near Panvel Railway Station and personally checks the safety of the temple.

At 7.30 a.m. when the temple Abhishek, Pooja and Aarati gets over Sri Sai Narayan Baba visits the three Samadhis i.e. Swami Karunanandaji, Sri Pandu Maharaj and Sri Tiger Baba for offering flowers and prayers. Further once again he inspects all the cows and calves in the Gaushala which is named as "Sri Bhagawati Sai Free Milk Gaushala" i.e. the entire milk is distributed free to poor and sickly children, unconnected with the Sansthan daily in the morning at 8.00 a.m. and evening at 8.00 p.m. respectively.
