, , , ,

Blessed is Shirdi and blessed is Dwarkamayi where Shri Sai lived and moved until He took Mahasamadhi.

Blessed are the people of Shirdi, whom He obliged and for whom He came such long distance.

Shirdi was a small village at first. It attained great importance due to His contact. It became a Tirtha, a holy place of pilgrimage.

Equally blessed are the womenfolk of Shirdi, blessed is their whole and undivided faith in Him. They sang the glories of Baba while bathing, grinding, pounding corn and doing other house- hold work. Blessed is their love, for they sang sweet songs which calm and pacify the minds of the singers and listeners.

One special peculiarity of Shirdi-pilgrimage was this, that none could leave Shirdi, without Baba’s permission;

  • and if he did, he invited untold sufferings,
  • but if any one was asked to quit Shirdi, he could stay there no longer.
  • Baba gave certain suggestions or hints, when Bhaktas went to bid good-bye and take leave. These suggestions had to be followed.
  • Accidents were sure to befall those who did not follow Baba’s directions. Problems occurred if they departed from them..
