This is Smita from Chennai, we are BABA devotees, we visit Shirdi atleast every 3 times a year, however this time we wanted to have a comfortable tour since my grandparents wanted to make a visit to Shirdi.
My friend janaki along with her 3 friends (all ladies) had made a visit to Shirdi on the December of 2009, she came back bubbling & said me how comfortable her tour was & I understood to know that it was arranged by a Travel company from Alwarpet in Chennai- called VASANTKAMAL.

I called up Janakai & took the contact of VASANTKAMAL tours, they explained me everything regarding the details of their tour, it was an option with Flight & train & I opted to travel by flight.
So we made the deal it was may 7th May we decided to travel, landed to Pune- the moment to flight reached their representative called us “welcome to Pune Maharashtra your car No 5500 is awaiting for you” we rushed taking our baggage’s to the car parking & their staff came with a Plakard “Vasantkamal”.

We were fist taken to have darshan of the Mahaganapathi temple between Pune & SHirdi & we had the first Darshan of the God who is supposed to remove all obstacles, followed by a good tiffin (only thing the sambar was sweet) but a nice clean & a hygienic place to had freshed our self.
Reaching Shirdi by 11.00 am we were given a great accommodation just next to the temple 2 mins walk from the Sai temple this place was with huge rooms, air conditioned & very clean to feel at ease, with a small gossiping with my mom we cam down for lunch by 12.00 noon, it was a north Indian lunch so we all enjoyed the chapati’s, so than we all went to have Darshan, we went along with their attendent, we had drahshna in about a 15 minutes time, the I was submersed in watching the “Bhava” of baba, dint know what to pray but just felt esctacy to see him.

Than followed by dwarkamayi & chawadi we came back to the room & went to take rest till evening, than had coffe.
We were instructed to have our dinner by 9.15 pm & at 9.30 we were taken to see the “Shezarthi” the arthi that asks BABA to sleep for the night.

For almost 45mins we enjoyed the arthi, an arthi book was made available to us in TAMIL & we could sing it, which was GREAT!!! Imagine a Marathi language written in Tamil….

So after the night arthi happily we came back to the Hotel to rest for the night, morning a 8.00 pm we had an another darshan & it was time to say BABA to call us again soon, my grand parents too were happy & we left Shirdi to Shani Shingnapur to see the Lord Shaniswran though I had come to Shirdi earlier I had never had the opportunity to come to Shani shingnapur (this is a swayambhu) Shani Bhagwan & only gents can pour Oil ABhishekam on this god, houses here & arround do not have doors & locks as no one commits thefts & crime here which we could see, but one must be careful with the stalls who take your life out for asking you to buy un-necessary articles & end up in an argument & fight with you, our tour attendent smartly bought oil pouches of rs 20 each & gave it to my father & grandfather asking it to offer to the diety.

With the first Mahaganapthi than BABA & than SHani Maharaj concluded our tour to ended up at Pune with the night dinner & drop to the airport!!!

What an Experience, a joy it was, I just thought to post this so that many people could have a similar happy experience as ours & have an organized tour with safety, comfortability …. Shirdi tour no doubt was best arranged by Vasantkamal Tours.you can visit their website www.vasantkamal.com or call 09367797347 for such excellent tour arrangements....hope you will also have wonderful darshan of Baba.
