Lets explore Shirdi - Lendi Bagh

[Guest guest]

SAMADHI OF SHYAM KARAN

A horse merchant, Kasam, had a mare that was issueless for a long time. He

made a vow to Baba that if his mare had issues he would give the first issue

to Baba. By the grace of Baba she did have the issues and he gratefully

brought the first issue and presented it to Baba. Baba named it 'Shyam

Karan'. Inis horse loved Baba and would daily lovingly take darshan °i Baba.

On Chavadi procession days would be dressed royally and dance all the way to

the Chavadi. Baba reciprocated this love by applying Udi on his forehead

after the Noon Arati. ecause of this reciprocal love upon the demise of this

horse e Sansthan honoured it with a Samadhi in Baba's Lendi Bagh.

SAMADHI OF AMIDAS MEHTA

A devotee named Amidas Bhavani Mehta wrote and published many stories on Sai

Baba in Gujarati thus spreading the glory of Baba in Gujarat and other

States from a very early time i.e. before 1910 (Ref. ESS, Ch.II).

SAMADHI OF MUKTHARAM (KHANDESH)

One Muktharam of Khandesh was at Shirdi before Baba's Mahasamadhi. Two days

after Baba's Mahasamadhi, he stated that Baba had asked him to occupy His

seat as "I am His heir" but everyone dissuaded him. After sometime he felt

that he was being pierced with huge needles in his seat. The pain was

followed by bleeding for the next seven to eight days. His suffering was

unbearable and he died with Baba's name on his lips begging for forgiveness

(Ref. MSS, p.38).

FLOWER GARDEN

On the left side of the entrance to Lendi Bagh is a beautiful flower garden

with beautiful flower trees. It is a serene and beautiful place and a few

years ago it had deer and peacocks living in it. Many a migratory bird rest

there on their way home. This garden is truly in keeping with Baba's love

towards all creations.

With the Sansthan beautification plan this garden is no more there. The

landscape is now done by the Sansthan.
