Actually much ahead of time, wanted to share the above information with all to benefit devotees visiting Shirdi Samadhi Mandhir, But when the thread is not refreshed as new posts comes in this thread goes into the Backyard, these days most have no patience to search for a thread before posting a New one for a similar message.

Hence I had requested for a separate BLOG or Group so that it would be useful to all, but when my request was denied by IL administrators, I accepted that Baba doesn't wish for the same at that moment, Now commenced this thread and the credit goes to PINKY SISTER who wanted details about "Visit to Shridi" Thanks to BABA for indicating it through her.

May BABA bless Bow each one of us to be fortunate enough to visit SAMADHI MANDHIR at SHIRDI and get blessed.

Please share your experiences too of how useful this information was in the same thread and probably we could have it updated as SHRIDI developments is on the EXPANSION MODE...

Many treasures of Baba’s days like his utensils, kafni, his chillum, a big palaquin which was gifted to baba but never used by him, all the palkhi procession items used then, babas padukas, his wheat grinding stone, two pots with which he cooked & fed the hungry, the cot on which baba’s last bathing took place after his demise, babas original chimta, the earthen ware with he used to ask for food, musical instruments etc. Have a glance for yourself and get blessed.
