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
