Shirdi Trip Incomplete without Visit to Sakori
Advertisements
On the departure day to Mumbai,

When Vamanrao reached Sakori, Upasani Maharaj and Durgabai Karmarkar were seated in a hut made of grass straws. This hut is now situated behind the temple in Sakori. People were performing Pooja in front of Sai Babas photo which was kept on a rough stone made of concrete. The work of Pooja and Arti was done by Govind Kamalkar Dixit. People called him Guruji. When Upasani Maharaj was doing penance in Shirdi, he only used to do his Seva.
Seeing Vamanrao, Upasani Maharaj said, Sai Baba made me reach to Parmeshwar (God) in Gods refuge while sitting on a donkey. Donkey means obstinate and determined person. But Sai Baba is so great that He took me to God and showed me God to an obstinate person like me.

So dear Sai Devotees, from now onwards when ever you go to Shirdi, please make it a point to go to Sakori. It is approximately 7-8 kms away from Samadhi Mandir and local rickshaw can be hired to reach there. The rickshaw fare is about Rs. 20 per person (to and fro).

Om Sai Ram I want to know in Sakori which place are they referring to go i.e. in Sakori where to visit...? whose temple whose samadhi ?
ReplyDeleteSai Ramji,
ReplyDeleteSakori is a small place where one can find Upasani Maharaj's ashram. The site where the ashram is situated is known as Sakori. Local rickshaw drivers are familiar about this place and will help you to reach there from Shirdi.
May Baba Bless us all
Jai Sai Ramji
There's also Shri Saibaba devotee Bapusaheb Jog's samadhi in Sakori....
