Dear SAI bandhus firstly I am sorry for posting this so late as the trip was b/w 30th of march to 4th April, due to some problems I could not post it on time I am really sorrie but today is Thursday and from morning I decided to work upon this and post my experience.and please forgive me if there are any spelling mistakes or gramatical errors.
We had a trip planned to shirdi in a troop of 215 people. We left Bangalore on 31st march and reached kopargaun on Sunday afternoon around 3 I guess, then i aunty and a couple of them decided to walk to shirdi from kopargaun. From the railway station we walked to kopargaun baba temple ( tapo bhumi ) and after the darshan we started walking towards shirdi it was hot day but the wind was blowing … and some one told us that normally the temp is higher but today its low… so aunty smiled at me and told that its because baba doesn’t want his kids to suffer…. And we met an old lame man on the way me and aunty gave him some coins,,,,,, and once we reached far .. we heard him screaming subh paad yaatra… we were shocked that how did he come to know… … so we knew that it was baba only in disguise….in the mid way we visited jangli baba’s Samadhi, devi temple, shiv temple.. and many more sorry I cant recollect the names….
Forgot to mention that once we had decided to go to shirdi, I in my mind had decided and told baba that I am coming to you and I will bring you a dress, and as I knew that in shirdi on every Monday they put white color cloths to baba, I had purchased a material with the combination of white and orange and worked on it for about 1 and half months approximately, got it laced and also did some karigiri work on the turban and dupatta..it got completed just 3 days before I left to shirdi..
I will describe the dress and every thing related in the later posts, and I had no luggage when we walked except a bag which had this dress, I and aunty decided that after much darshan we will donate the dress and then move ahead to our rooms…and I carried the dress whole the way and kept praying that baba I have a gift for you… hope u will like it then aunty was telling ke the way I was carrying it ..it seemed to her ke mein koi baba ki palki utha kar shirdi jaa raha hoon…on the way we were discussing abt baba’s leela and chanted his name….
Then we reached shirdi and our happiness knew no bounds… because after walking for so long we were finally going to our house..(shirdi) first we went to the jain temple in shirdi whick is v close to lendi baag, and it was the time for Aarti .. and fortunately we got to do the Aarti ,we fell blessed, then finally we came through lendi baag and then came to samadhi mandir.. and we told the guard that we had walked from kopargaun till here and wanted to go for much darshan… he with out any furthut question let us in the special q… and then as soon as we put our legs in the Samadhi mandir even before seeing baba our body and leg ache went away….
And then we saw baba from far wearing a green coloured dress all in a happy mood to see his kids come then we got close to the Samadhi and prayed there for a while, my happiness was immeasurable and I was almost in tears and after darshan we had another aunty a localite of shirdi who was with us and told that we will directly go inside and give it to the poojari and then give it there ..so after darshan I went with her inside the office she was telling the person there in charge and showed him the dress.. in fact every one there liked it …. Then after giving it we went directly to chawdi and aunti and I got the opportunity to clean the chavdi that nite I was so happy I cant explain…. We did our seva and then came to dwarkamai after praying there for few mints we went back to the hotel… sai sahvaas which is very close to the temple… and as I was v tired…. Dint spend much time talking, in fact I just spoke to aunty for abt 30 mts .. we had a small satsang and then she told me that she has arranged for kakad Aarti passes and I was v v v happy
as this was my first day in shridi with baba.. i have 3 more days of experiences to describe..and i am working towards that so that i can post it here in detail...ASAP andill post the second days exp tomorow...
