DWARKAMAYI

(ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS OF SAMARTH SADGURU SHRI SAINATH)

 

The Dwarkamayi   Is  veritably  the VAIKUNTH  on earth of  SHRI SHIRDI  SAI

MATH.   It was   at   this   place,  where  BABA  stayed for an

uninterrupted  period of  more  than 60  years   and which has  attained

great importance.   After BABA's  arrival  at Shirdi with Chandbhai Patil's

marriage  party, BABA resided here In the Dwarkamayi  till the very end of

HIS   life.

Here  HE  solved   problems   of  the   people,  ushered their sickness and

worries.  Here HE showed the various forms of God to the devotees  and

proved that GOD  is   one.   It was here  BABA explained  in length Chapter

34 of  Bhagavad Glta to Sri  Nana saheb Chandorkar.   It was here HE  gave

lessons  of  KORAN  to Abdul. Just before HE   passed   away.  HE

Instructed Lakshmi  Bal Shinde what  Navadha Bhakti (9 types   of

devotion)   means.   He explained the meaning  of  each word to Lakshmibai

after giving her 9 rupees.   It was here that BABA lit the Dhuni and which

remains   perpetually lighted uninterruptedly.   The  ash In this Dhuni  is

given   to all devotees.  Here  BABA's Midday and Dhup Arati were being sung

and BABA used  to distribute  prasad  and udhi to all  those  present.   It

was here that BABA ground the cholera in the form  of  wheat  Flour.   It

was  here  that HE  gave  a clear consent  and blessings   to Sri Annahsheb

Dabholkar (Hemadpant)   to write His biography.   Here  BABA explained  the

importance  of  having   a Guru,   the  importance  of   giving dakshina. It

was here  that  BABA  lighted  lamps with water and it was here that  BABA

used  to sleep   on a bed of   rags.   It was here  that HE prepared food

in a big handy and lovingly distributed It   to His devotees.   It was here

that  BABA granted salvation to  A tiger.   It was  here   that HE   put HIS

hands   in the Dhuni (lighted fire)   and saved  a blacksmith's child far

away.   It was here that BABA doused the fire  that raged ih the Dargah of

Nagpur’ s Hajrat Tajuddin Baba when the  latter beseeched HIS  help It was

here  that HE (Baba)   proved that HE had control  over nature by stopping

storms  on two occasions.   It was here that BABA went into Samadhi for

three  days on Margarisha Purnima of 1886. It was  here  that  BABA showed

Himself   as LORD DATTATREYA  on Datta JayantI  in 1911..   It was here that

BABA meted out justice at  times very severe to those devotees who would

just   refuse  to mend their ways.   BABA used to say often "Our Justice  is

stern. Even  if  a child Sails  athwart the womb we have  to cut it." It was

here  that BABA, blessed devotees  and rewarded each according to their

faith  in HIM.

 

He is Dwarkamayi  is a witness  to many many more such  noble activities

and incidents   during  BABA's   lifetime.  Every   Inch of  space  in this

holy  place vibrates with  life  if only one has faith.   The serene

silence  at night here is so soothing that  one literally feels  himself

relieved  of  his  burdens   and offloading them at SAI's feet.  This

Valkuntha of earth-the Dwarkamayi Is supremely holy  and  sacred.   A mighty

Avatar spent His entire lifetime here   and today HE  rests   in peace  and

silence & the Samadhi Mandir.   But,   the holy Dwarkamayi  Is still

throbbing with HIS  divine presence.  His  oil  portrait placed In the

Dwarkamayi   is  so  lively   that one  feels  BABA  is  still sitting   and

looking at  him.
