Shirdi The Eternal place for Rejuvenation
Shirdi is a small town on the Ahamadnagar- Manmad highway. Shirdi is a silent place with population of around 15000. This holy destination is a home to a great legend Sai Baba who lived her for around eighty years before he went into his Samadhi some 80 years ago in 1918. Shirdi is mainly a religious centre.
Sai Baba - Spirituality Personified
Sai Baba, the legend who showed us the path to the ultimate nirvana is how he is remembered. He was a paradigm of unmitigated spirituality. As for all other true saints, information about Sai Baba is also very less and unconfirmed, like the town and year of his birth. As the legend has it, Sai Baba reached Shirdi as an unknown man and used to roam around the outskirts of Shirdi, in the adjacent forests or used to sit under a Neem tree completely immersed in his lord( The All Mighty). He was of a very simple appearance and wore a kafni (a long shirt). He also tied a white cloth around his head. He used a sack cloth to sit and sleep on. A woman named Bayyaji Bai was one of the earliest persons who saw his divine powers and started believing in him. She used to take food in a basket on her head into the deep jungles, searching for him. Later on, as if out of consideration for Bayyaji Bai, he started spending his time in a bedraggled mosque on the outskirts of the town. He used to call it 'Dwarkamai'. Every day he used to distribute the money that he got as Dakshina, to the poor and needy. He started solving problems of people, sometimes even by using miracles because he never liked anybody leaving his place empty handed. Everybody started addressing the less known fakir as Sai Baba. Devotees started pouring into Shirdi and the town became a pilgrim centre for all.
Sai Baba raised a flower garden in the village and used to water the plants every day. All of us like to go to shirdi to visit Sai Baba.
