Ganpati Bappa




Shilpa holding Ganpati look-a-like small vegetable in her hand. Its coincidence she brought vegetables of Yellow/Red Capsicum & this green colored came across Manju's hand. Manju is stating Maghi Ganpati is around the corners & people are welcoming whole hearted this occasion. Today she made sezwan noodles from Red & Yellow bell paper & she got this from inside of red bell paper. Tomorrow his bday and starting of maghi Ganapathi...

it was indeed bit surprised but with pleasure my friends visited my home temple where this deity has been worshiped. For someone, its just piece of vegetable but for us, almighty Ganesha....
2015 was 1st time, we had brought Lord Ganesha Idol at my New Home & during Ganeshostav festival, I could not performed an ritualistic activities of Ganesh emersion. This was because my real cousin has passed away on 2nd day hence Ganesha emersion was performed by my closest friends. We all were very sad because we had invited Lord Ganesha for 1st time & leaving within 2 day & moreover, we couldn't perform emersion activity, we desired for. We cried a lot & expect if could performed by by us.

Now see the circle of life, we were back on same track where we left - for this small tiny form of Lord Ganesha, me &
 Shilpa decided to perform an emersion activity & hence we decided to visit naturally created pond near my house. We were assuming it would be empty & we went back yard. To my surprise, all devotees of Maghi Ganpati were performing emersion activity on the front entrance. Being too long circle, I was in dilemma & all of sudden I realized few bikers were using shortcut to reach to pond.
By the time I reach the spot, lot of other group had arrived for
 emersions. Devotees were dancing, chanting on kartalas, few people were playing & sprinkling holi colors & so on. We both were swinging in same enthusiasm of Ganeshostav.

With small prayer, we went inside pond
 emersion area where we envisaged same feeling of Ganeshostav emersion around us. God has created same environment for us so that we won’t feel loneliness.

We try did, what best we can & sometime life expectancy is different for each souls. Circle of life is working in all aspects, whether u believe in it or no. If u demand happiness, universe will give
 happiness but Good or bad karma will return back what u have performed in past.
Happy Living To All Soul...

Amachi Maati, Ammcha Manasa....



I have heard of Sai Rath Yatra but amazed to see millions of people gathered for accepting prasadam from Sai Bhandara. 

On one side of Temple, 1000s of people were dancing on DJing music. They were performing typical Maharashtraian LAVANI, teenage girls were dancing wearing traditional dresses in green, red & purple colour navvari. Few girls were swinging round, holding & knotting each others fingers & palm strongly. Faster one swings, better controlling each others will have. Few males were so heavily drunk that they felling on other dancers but i noticed not a single females were touched. Both genders were dancing in their respective groups. Such a huge crowd & I see, not a single policeman. As if lord himself is taking care of every soul...

Today is biggest day for few people as they can enjoy unlimited free prasadam including pure ghee cladded Puri, Ladoos, Undhayu(mixed vegetables), rice & dal. Each person were enjoying food like never before. I could gaze few families wrapping puris & bhaji for following day as if they were not sure when would they get deliciously made food again... I recommended them to take as much they want.

Everyone make sure to take darshan of lord Sri Saibaba & I am no more exceptional to it. Its different experience to be between them.

As per estimated head counts, this year around 5,000 people are expected to have Sai Bhanadara Free Meal & its diff experience to such huge crowd.
