Working and staying in Mumbai
or town of dreams was invariably related to great reminiscences. One among them
was my yearly journey to Sri Sai Shirdi baba temple. The 1st time I visited
Shirdi was with my Class friends on a bus. Cash crisis continuously looms
throughout school days and may be single purpose of deciding throughout those
days.
We all have seen this part at
some purpose or different. Considering everyone’s interest in mind, we tend to
book night bus from Dadar (Mumbai) to Shirdi. The whole distance between the
mega town and Holy City is approx. 230 Kms. additionally the overnight journey
gave us ample time to arrive at Shirdi early in morning to own a darshan of Sai
Baba.
The journey was nothing much
to write down, except That we talked lots regarding our school life and the way
quick it had been returning to an end. It takes time for the bus to exit Mumbai
town due to insane traffic. We didn’t notice once we slept only to awaken at
5:00 AM when the conductor yelled “Shirdi pahuch gaye.”
For fast refreshing before
darshan of Shirdi Sai baba there's lots of choices in city, operative either at
free or charging nominal fee. These facilities are superb for backpackers or
budget individual, but it's suggested to take a Stay or real lodge if halting
in Shirdi with family. The good news is that there's lots of hotels accessible
in all ranges from budget, to standard and even premium class to suit the
traveler’s desires.
We stayed in St.Laurn’s 5 star
Hotel. we found the building to be sensible one, what I liked regarding this
building is its location , placed bit far away from the temple(Half kilometer)
therefore it'll offer you the required peace and solitude once you're done with
Puja. Also, the hotel is almost 1.5 km from Shirdi terminal. And it had a
special area for organizing private puja
We were expecting massive
crowds at the temple, it being a Thursday, each Thursday is taken into account
to be an auspicious day to do puja and also the arrangements done at the temple
premises assured us that the authorities too were expecting a huge flow of
devotees. We took our place within Special queue and were happy to Have Darshan
of Sai Baba.
There are ample seating desks
made from steel on the way to baba darshan; these are very good for elders and
kids who desires to require rest whereas in the queue. i might say it always
takes Two hour within general queue but we last to own grand darshan of Sai
baba in just Half an Hour. As we were moved out in Half an Hour once our puja
finished, we had all full day at our disposal, thus we set to travel to Shani
Shingnapur.
Shingnapur is understood for
its fashionable temple of Shani, the Hindu god related to the planet (graha)
Saturn and is approximately 2 to 2:30 Hrs. Journey from Shirdi. There is a
special queue for those that need to approach the idol, and this was quite
long. We had darshan shortly, and commenced on our come back journey, stopping
on the way for freshly Harvested sugarcane juice.
We came back to Shirdi around
4:00 PM, drenched to the core after a sudden rain, because the vehicle that we
took to Shingnapur had no way of protection from rain. We had dinner at our
hotel St.Laurn’s.
After a while the evening
roaming in rounds the Shirdi city, we Confirmed our Check out from our hotel
for the return journey to Mumbai. We thought of ourselves lucky by booking the
return ticket well prior. We got the most effective and comfy seats within the
bus. The bus left Shirdi roughly around 10:30 PM. In no time, we all slept.
Awakening only to alight at Dadar at 6:30 Morning. Thus completed the journey
with our friends.
After completing the journey i calculated the Cost it was approximately the amount that i inquired in shirdi tour operators but they will arrange all things for us only that's the difference.
