Today is death anniversary (Mahasamadhi) of a saint in India who is known to many as Sai Baba of Shirdi. My visit to Shirdi in June was quick and over in less than 5 hours. Before I went, I told my friends and family that I couldn’t believe I was going there. Now that I’ve gone, I still can’t believe I went there. With such disbelief is also a sense of awe that I did go.
I wondered if I was the only person who felt like this. Then, I chanced upon a site that records the events/miracles of those who have visited Shirdi. Reading the stories of all these bhaktas makes the memory of my trip there all the more poignant.
And for those who do read the Sai Satcharitra, this blog is even more meaningful.
I did not take the photo I've posted here (we were not allowed to take photos inside the Samadhi Mandir). Instead, I've use a photo taken by one of the people who wrote a story on the blog mentioned above.
Here’s the link to the blog by our modern-day Hemadpant: http://www.shirdisaibabaexperiences.org
