 FACEBOOK NOTE BY VAIBHAVSINH KARNIK.

Hariom to all !!!!

Today was a remarkable day and a day of lot of happenings at SHREE ANIRUDDA GURUKSHETRAM. Today saw the beginning of two great events of this era

1. The beginning of AHSHUBHNAASHINI NAVRATRA i.e ASHWINN NAVRATRA

2. THe beginning of YADNYA being performed by our beloved Sadguru P.P Aniruddha Bapu

The beginning of AHSHUBHNAASHINI NAVRATRA i.e ASHWINN NAVRATRA : - The beginning of the ASHUBHNAASHINI Navtra was marked by putting up 3 NEW DHWAJ at Shree ANIRUDDHA GURUKSHETRA. As directed by our beloved BAPU , every year on the first day of the ASHUBHNAASHINI NAVRATRA three families replace previous year's DHWAJ by  new DHWAJ. THESE three families are 1) THE DABHOLKARS 2) THE CHAUBAL family (family of CHAUBAL AJOBAA - a great (SHRESHTHA) shraddhaavaan bhakt of P.P BAPU 3) THE MAHADHARMAVARMAN - Dr. Yogindrasinh and Dr. Vishakhaveera Joshi. These three DHWAJ were replaced at SUNRISE TODAY with the help of our GURUKSHETRAM Volunteers. This was done along with the chanting of "OM NAMASHCHANDIKAAYAY". The earlier three dhwaj will then be put up in forthcoming SHREE ANIRUDDHA DHAM.

THIS event was followed by regular NITYA POOJAN and NITYA HAVAN. After these daily rituals was the ceremony of TRADITIONAL WELCOMING OF THE TODAES of our beloved MOTHI AAI. There was procession of the nine pairs of TODAES of each of the  nine swaroopas of our beloved Mothi Aai.Our beloved P.P Nandaai, Poojya Samirdada, Swapnilsinh, Paurassinh, Pradyumnasinh were also rejoicing with all of us in welcoming the TODAES. The procession started with the traditional band followed by the Gurukshetram Volunteers carrying the the TODAES followed by all the bhaktas. This procession was a treat to watch and the traditional band was awesome, the band members were our shraddhavaans , hats off to them for great welcoming music.

After the welcoming ceremony was over the TODAES were kept for DARSHAN for all the devotees and will be kept till DASERA. Let us all take the the DARSHAN say "OM NAMASHCHANDIKAAYAY".

2. THe beginning of the YADNYA being performed by our beloved Sadguru P.P Aniruddha Bapu : As HE had said in HIS pravachan, P.P BAPU started HIS TAPASCHARYAA from today. THE SAHOPASANA also started at 8.30 am. 10 shraddhaavaans were doing the pathan in BHAKTIMAY atmosphere. SHREE RAm  to them !!!

P.P BAPU will be performing a YADNYA  at SHREE ANIRUDDHA GURUKSHETRAM everyday atleast till RAMNAVMI next year. Today all the preparations of the YADNYA were kept ready by the volunteers - THE YADNYA MANDAP, THE YADNYA KUND, THE YADNYA SAMAGRI, THE FLOWER DECORATION  etc. WE all were awaiting the arrival of our  beloved BAPU. AND the moment ARRIVED. OUR BAPU in SHRADDHAAVAAN Dress along with P.P Nandaai, P.P Suchitdada, Poojya Samirdada, Swapnilsinh, Paurassinh, Shakambhariveera, Pradyumnasinh and Dhrutiveera arrived at GURUKSHETRAM. FIRST P.P Bapu, Nandaai and Suchitdada took the darshan of GURUKSHETRAM together and then proceeded to the YADNYA MANDAP area.

THEN P.P BAPU asked Poojya Samirdada to uncover the 9ft X 7ft size Upasana frame (P.P Bapu will do the YADNYA sitting in front of this frame). GLORIOUS !!!!! JUST GLORIOUS !!!!! AWESOME !!!!! REMARKABLE !!! never saw such a frame before GREAT !!!!!, this is what everyone reacted when they saw the frame (THE details of this UPASANA FRAME will follow in next update)

In the Yadnya Mandap there were PANCHDHAATU idols of SHREE BHRAMHANASPATI (Ganpati Bappa) and SHREE AKKALKOT SWAMI SAMARTHA MAHARAJ.THE idols are not just idols but they themselves.  P.P BAPU, Nandaai and Suchitdada took the DARSHAN and P.P Nandaai lighted the SAMAYEE (Diva). Then our BAPU started the YADNYA. After finishing the YADNYA , P.P visited the area where devotees were sitting for SAHOPASANAA and gave them blessings. SHREERAm !!! GREAT !!! getting blessings from BAPU at GURUKSHETRAM and that to during the TAPASHCHARYAA period is beyond imagination. P.P Bapu then showered HIS blessings on those who were present and acknowledged everyone. P.P BAPU then exxplained the importance of HIS upasana photo to all.  More than thousand shraddhaavaans witnessed this great event.

Our BAPU has started to do whatever HE has promiosed and now it is our turn to do maximum upasana.

Sai Niwas me Pargat Gwala......

A FACEBOOK NOTE BY SAMIRSINH- VAIDYA- DATTOPADHYE.

Hari om.

Sai Niwas, the place wherein the Shree Sai Charita was composed by Hemadpant by Grace of Sai Baba, is a place of real serenity and inspiration for one and all. The Sadguru Bhakti which was initiated by Hemadpant was further nurtured by Meena Vahini, his grand-daughter- in- law by her Devotion towards P.P. Bapu.

Meena Vahini and Sadya Pipa Govindsinh Dabholkar had borne witness to the revelation of Bapu at Sai Niwas [Pragatikaran] and this incident has been stated in the Aniruddha Chalisa as   

“ Sai Niwas mein pargat gwala......”

Bapu has always shared a very special Connection with Sai Niwas and this has been experienced first hand by the Dabholkar family and a few of the Shrddhavans.

Meena Vahini, through her unwavering faith and Bhaklti on her Sadguru P.P Bapu, had covered quite a remarkable distance on the path of Righteousness. Also She was the living example of the fact that every person can travel on the path of Righteousness without shirking away from any of the Responsibilities of Family and Household. She states very clearly in her own abhanga

“ Bapu Aala ani Jahle Nishchint.

Sakal Vyavastha Tuchi Davili”

She also states in another abhanga that

“Sai ase majhi Aai,

Baap majha Aniruddha”

Such a wealth of Love, affection and Bhakti is stored in Sai Niwas. Many of us have never been able to know in details about Sai Niwas, Meena vahini and the Bond that Bapu shares with Sai Niwas.

Thus a film compiling the experiences of a select few persons who had the good fortune to experience all these above mentioned things first hand has been created and thfirst few segments of this film shall be played at Shree Harigurugram tomorrow.

We shall relive some of the most unforgettable moments that happened at Sai Niwas over the years,  tomorrow at Shree Harigurugram.
