Shirdi Chavadi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About Shirdi Chavadi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shirdi Chavadi<\/strong> is the place in Shirdi where villagers of Shirdi used to meet and settle disputes and collect taxes and the visiting officials used to stay. The place is maintained and managed by Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi.  After Baba Mahasamadhi the Sansthan occupied the Chavadi and used it for storing books and accommodating devotees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the last days of Sai Baba, he used to sleep on the\nalternate nights here in the Chavadi. This started on one of the wild stormy\nnights around 1909. The heavy downpour came inside the mosque (Dwarakamai)\nthrough the leaky walls. The devotees of Baba tried him to move out of the\nmosque but baba didn\u2019t agree to move, then the devotees picked Baba up and\nhalf-carry him to Chavadi, from then baba spent alternate nights here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place is very special for the devotees of Sai Baba\nbecause the place is where Baba used to sleep alternate days and the place\nplayed an important role in the establishment of formal Worship of Baba. From\nthe day baba started sleeping here people decided to offer regular Aarthi to\nhim on his arrival from the Mosque. The Sej Aarthi i.e., the night Aarthi and\nthe Kakad Aarthi i.e., the early morning Aarthi were offered to him.  As Baba used to stay rest of the day in Dwarakamai\nthe mid-day and evening Aarthis are probably developed at Dwarakamai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Dwarakamai was renovated, the Chavadi is also\nrenovated. The mud walls were neatly coated, huge mirrors were hanged, glazed\ntiles replaced the floor and glass candle holders were suspended from the\nceiling. The funding for the renovation was provided by the deeply devote of\nSai Baba- Anna Chinchanikar. Feeling the triumph of Baba\u2019s grace, from the\ncourt ruled in his favour in the land dispute, he wanted to give Baba a full sum\naward. However, Baba refused the award and Dixit suggested him to spend that\namount on renovating Chavadi. The sitting platform along the front wall outside\nthe Chavadi is the later addition. The names of Anna Chinchanikar and his wife\nwere inscribed on an ornamental tablet above the doorway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large sketch of Baba is placed inside the Chavadi which\nwas painted by Ambaram, an 18 year old boy from Nausari in Gujarat, after the\nDarshan of Sai Baba in his dreams. The villagers of Nausari out of love with Baba\ncollected donations in order to buy the paintings and bring the sketch to\nShirdi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the left of the painting, there will be a wooden plain\nbed on which baba had his last bath after he passed away in the Mosque. On\nevery Thursday the bed is taken and the palaki is placed on it. At the same\nplace next to the bed where will be a wheelchair which is presented to Baba\nwhen he was suffering from asthma, but Baba never used it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the right portion of the building a framed photo of\ncross-legged Baba is kept in grand attire which is now kept on the silver\nthrone which is placed where Baba used to sleep. On every Thursday and on\nfestival days the picture is taken out on parade. Baba didn\u2019t allow women into\nthis portion and this tradition is maintained till date. Only boys and men are\nallowed in this portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shirdi Chavadi Utsav<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the moving from Dwarakamai to Chavadi is the effort\nRadhakrishnayi, who wanted Baba to be honoured as Maharaja, and supplied all\nsorts of Ceremonial full-dress and ornaments. With a decorated horse Shyam\nSunder leading the way, Baba with Tatya on one side and Mhalsapathi on the\nother side walked on the carpet laid on the path. Number of devotees joined\nthem, singing Bhajans, chanting Hari naam and Baba\u2019s name, dancing, playing\nmusical instruments, letting crackers, holding a sliver umbrella over Baba,\nwaving Flags and Fans. Even the distance is few metres it used to take 3 hours\nto cover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baba give importance to the holy poverty and his reluctance\nto allow devotees to worship him, for the happiness of his devotees Baba\nallowed himself to be led to the Chavadi in lavish display of adoration. Before\nthe parade starts, Hemadpant hints at Baba\u2019s response. Devotees used to sing\nBhajan, Some decorates the palanquin, and rows of oil lamps were burning. Shyma\nstood waiting, then Tatya Patil with a party of men went to Baba and asks him\nto get ready but baba used to sit quiet in his place till Tatya come and helped\nhim to get up and put his arms under Baba\u2019s armpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Baba arrived at the Chavadi and stood in front of it,\nhis face glittered with a \u201cPeculiar Lustre\u201d. All people viewed Baba\u2019s lustre to\ntheir heart\u2019s and remember the event and thinks about what a beautiful\nprocession and what an expression of devotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baba Devotees are so fortunate that those days are not\ncompletely gone. On every Thursday similar procession is done with the Baba\u2019s\nphoto in honour of that tradition. In the evenings, Baba Satka and Padukas are\ndisplayed in front of the tomb from 7:30 untill the procession begins at\n9:00pm. More crowd will be at Samadhi Mandir as people are very eager to touch\nand pay their tributes to these holy objects which are accessible only at this\ntime. This procession is enhanced by the melodious Bhajans offered by some\nvillagers and a group of young men from the local youth organization dancing\nrhythmically to the drumbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 9:15 pm the procession moves from Samadhi Mandir. At\nthe centre the Garlanded Portrait of Baba is carried by the great grandson of\none Tatya Kote Patil the devotee of Baba and another of his relatives. They are\nahead by one of the Mandir staff carrying the Satka and Padukas. Other staff,\ndressed in Maharashtrian-style red tunics and turbans. The procession is done\non the way awaited with the crowd eagerly waiting to see this.  The procession enters Dwarakamai about 10\nminutes later, and again there is an assembled crowd waiting for the arrival\nand crowed for the view. The photos of baba are placed on the silver palaki and\nthis takes about 15 minutes. Mandir staff and locals carry the palakii to the\nChavadi, where people await inside and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The palaki after reaching Chavadi it is parked outside and\nthe photo is taken inside the Chavadi on red-carpet. Baba\u2019s photo is settled\ninto the place on the silver throne and Aarthi is performed and the whole group\nis returned to the Samadhi Mandir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coconut is kept beside Baba\u2019s statue until the final\nnight Aarthi. The photo is returned to Chavadi after the morning Aarthi the\nnext day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Procession , Lalkari is performed which means the\nceremonial shouting of slogans or words of praise Baba such as \u201cLong Live Sai\nBaba\u201d. There are particular points where is is done during the Utsav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chavadi will be open from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
