Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 The Third Darbar was held between 5.00 and 7.00 PM, then He would go for His evening walk. He would walk up and down in the narrow lane in front of Dwarakamai and would lean against the wall. This holy site is marked by small Padukas which are now incorporated in the wall. This is where He probably rested His elbow or arm. The Padukas below are the holy site where He stood. This place is enclosed in a small shrine. The bell rang again at 8.30 PM and the devotees flocked at the outer pavilion. If it was the day for Baba to sleep in the Chavadi, the devotees gathered there, would do Bhajans and play various instruments. Most of them were busy making arrangements for the Chavadi procession. Then the Chavadi Procession took place and Baba was taken to the Chavadi and after Sej Arati the devotees returned home. Baba slept alone spreading fifty to sixty chaddars (bed sheets). In the morning He sat in the Chavadi till Tatya came and invited Him to come to Masjid. In the Masjid Baba slept along with Mahalsapathi and Tatya. (Adopted from Ambrosia In Shirdi by Dr.Vinny Chitluri, this book can be read at http://saileelas.org/books/ambrosiainshirdi1.htm and this book is a virtual guide on Shirdi with lots of rare photos on Baba.
