When was the first Guru Poornima celebrated at Shirdi?
The full moon day of the Ashada month of the Lunar Calendar is
celebrated as Guru Poornima. This normally falls in the month of
July. Sri Noolkar passed away in 1911 in March. So he must have died
before the Guru Poornima of 1911. He had visited Shirdi for the
first time in 1909. He had participated in only one Guru Poornima.
Perhaps it was his first and last Guru Poornima at Shirdi. The Guru
Poornima described by Sri Noolkar in his letter to Nana Saheb
Chandorkar may have therefore been celebrated in 1910.
