Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 CHAVADI PROCESSION Since 10th December, 1910 devotees began to offer regular worship to Baba in this Chavadi. They brought Him in procession in a regal and royal manner from the Dwarakamai to Chavadi. Even today on Thursdays and other festival days the procession can be seen. WOODEN COT After Baba took Mahasamadhi on 15Ih October, 1918, (Tuesday) at 2.30 PM His body was laid on this wooden cot for three days, till 17Ih October, 1918 (Thursday). As there were differences between His devotees as to where to intern Him (Ref. ESS, Ch. XLIII & XLIV), on this wooden cot His 'ast bath was performed. With due formalities His body was brought in procession to Dagdi Wada (Samadhi Mandir). In the Garbha Gruh i.e. central portion reserved for Murlidhar "is samadhi was made. This cot was previously in Dwarakamai now it is housed in the Chavadi. Every Thursday it is taken out and placed in front of the Chavadi and Baba's palki is placed on it. After Arati this cot is placed along the western wall of the Chavadi. (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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
