Sai Baba Temple (Shirdi).

 

 

Our tours are emphatically different keeping in mind the health of senior citizens who mostly suffer from sugar and heart ailments. We provide timely refreshment & planned spaced tours to avoid long journey hours. We care to nurture you better.

 

These five temples are duly important destinations that any human being must visit at least once in a life time for their significance as below :

 

Vitthala Rukmini

Temple of Pandharipuram (PANDHARPUR) , is also considered as the SOUTH KASHI. In this temple, it is felt that Vitthala comes so close to his bhaktas that any person can touch their forehead to the lotus feet of Sri Hari.

Vitthala. sweet Vitthala ! What closeness… what a solace to our heart…where could we get this joy! What an ocean of joy to touch His heavenly feet and seek Moksham.

 

Tulja Bhavani Temple

Bhavani is a ferocious aspect of the Hindu goddess Shakti or Devi. Bhavani means “giver of lifeâ€, the power of nature or the source of creative energy. In addition to her ferocious aspect, she is also known as Karunaswaroopini, “filled with mercyâ€.

Bhavani was the tutelary deity of the Maratha leader Shivaji. A temple to Bhavani, at Tuljapur in Maharashtra, dates back to the 12 th century. The temple contains a meter-high granite image of the goddess, with eight arms holding

weapons, and bearing the head of the demon Mahishasura.

 

Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Temple.

 

According to the Karavira Mahatmya Sree Vishnu resides in the form of Mahalakshmi at Kolhapur. Legend has it that Kolhasura, a demon that tormented the Gods and other beings, was destroyed by Mahalakshmi here at Karavira, and that the spot of his death became a thirtha and that she took abode here in a shrine which constitutes the temple today. The goddess of power takes its name from Mahalakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, and it is believed that the divine

couple reside in the area.

 

Shani Temple (Shingnapur)

 

Shani is one of the Navagrahas which are the nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology. One of the most important shrines for Lord Shani is in Shingnapur, in Maharashtra. The deity self-emerged from the earth (SWYAMBHU) in the form of a stone block and was found by shepherds. When they touched the stone with a pointed rod the stone began bleeding. The shepherds were astounded and one night one of the shepherds got a dream that the deity was Lord Shani. To this day, due to fear of Shani, houses within a 1 km radius of the Shani temple do not have locks. No thefts happen in this place.

Devotees also perform ‘Abhishekas’ (rites involving pouring of certain liquids over the idol) with water and ‘Til’ (mustard) oil.

 

Sai Baba Temple (Shirdi)

 

This is the shrine and samadi of Sai Baba who lived at Shirdi during the latter half of the 19 th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The Sai Baba mandir in Shirdi is active and worship of Sai is conducted in it every day. Pilgrims visit Shirdi in large numbers. Shirdi Baba is especially revered and worshipped in the state of Maharashtra.

A religious organisation of Sai Baba’s devotees called the Shri Saibaba Sansthan is based there.

Dear Moderator,Namaskarams.Kindly pardon my indulgence. It is my personal view that messages like these which advertise for "pilgrimages" to Shirdi and Shani temples are not advisable for SriVaishnavas and infact prapannas should strictly avoid them. I think the "Andavan" group is not the correct forum to advertise for such "pilgrimages". It is my humble request at devarir's feet to make sure such occurrences are avoided in future, in the interest of prapannas.Swami Desikan Tiruvadigale Saranam,dasan,Srikanth
