100 years of Chavadi Worship

[Guest guest]

Sairam Dear

Devotees

As you are all aware that the worship of Baba started in Chavadi on 10th December 1909, to quote from the

Sai Satcharitra, Chapter 37

 

Chavadi Procession

Baba's dormitory has been already

described. One day He slept in the Masjid and on the

next, in the Chavadi (a small building containing a

room or two near the Masjid). This alternate sleeping

in both these buildings went on till Baba's Mahasamadhi.

From 10th December 1909

devotees began to offer regular worship to Baba in the Chavadi.

This we will now describe with His grace. When the turn of retiring to the Chavadi came, people flocked to the Masjid

and made bhajan in the mandap

(courtyard) for a few hours. Behind them was a beautiful Ratha

(small car), to the right a Tulsi-vrindavan and in

front Baba, and between these the devotees fond of bhajan.

Men and women who had a liking for the bhajan came in

time.

This 100th year gives us a unique opportunity to

celebrate the Chavadi procession so All the devotees

are requested to light lamp (diya) before Baba before

going to bed from 10th December 2008 and also daily read the Chapter

37 before going to bed. Let us all celebrate the 100 years of Chavadi Procession.

 

With humble pranams

sairam,- THESE LINES ARE TAKEN FROM "SHRI SAI BABA"- by SWAMI SAI SHARAN ANAND......

ON THE FULL MOON DAY IN THE MONTH OF MARGASHIRSHA (NOVEMBER-DECEMBER), IN SAKE YEAR 1807(A.D. 1885) AS SAI HAD A SEVERE BOUT OF ASTHMA, SAI BABA SAID TO MHALSAPATI, "I ENTRUST MY BODY TO YOUR CUSTODY. I AM GOING INTO SAMADHI. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY BODY FOR THREE DAYS." SO SAYING, SAIBABA WENT INTO NIRVIKALPA SAMADHI.

 

DEAR SAI DEVOTEES, ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATION I FEEL THAT THIS DAY WILL FALL ON DECEMBER 12TH i.e. FRIDAY. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM PLEASE. --- On Wed, 10/12/08, rashalatha <rashalatha wrote:
