OUR MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY

OUR MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY

8 MAY

 I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK PRIMARILY MY PARENTS & IN LAWS FOR THIS DAY

THOUGH WE ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR CONTRIBUTION, I BELIEVE IT HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY EXPRESSED

TRYING TO BRUSH OFF THE DUST GATHERED AROUND 'TAKING FOR GRANTED CONTRIBUTIONS'

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

शिवाजी पार्क

शिवाजी पार्क

चैन पडेना चैन पडेना

शिवाजी पार्कला परिक्रमा विना

स्मरती लोचने आप्त सख्ख्या

प्रथम प्रदक्षिणा श्री ओंकारा

वसे वडा छायेत कालीमाता

भोवती रंगीबेरंगी कट्टा

शिवाजी महाराज राजे छत्रपती

पराक्रम ऐकता फुले छाती

वीर सावरकर सागर तीरी

ऊतुंग राष्ट्रप्रेम आम्ही ऋणी

हिंदू सम्राट बाळासाहेबांची ज्योती

तेवत राहील सदा हृदयी

मंदवारा झटे थांबण्यास

स्वच्छ निळे निळे आभाळ

पंख पसरे संधी प्रकाश

पार्क नेसे चांदण्यांची माळ

चैन पडेना चैन पडेना

शिवाजी पार्कला परिक्रमा विना

पडती पावले पटपट पटपट

घरी परतल्यावर उभा काट्यावर

Birthday@Pithapuram

                                                                                                                               

    Birthday@Pithapuram
 वाढदिवस@पिठापूरम

           

प्रथमच निघालो एकटाच

  माझीया वाढदीसास

  शरण होण्यास चरणी

  श्री गुरू दत्तात्रयांच्या

  होताच आगमन पिठापूरात

  बुडले मन भक्ती भावात

  दिसली समोरच गोमाता

  रमला जीव वासरात

  करूनी मी अभिषेक

  अर्पिले श्रीफळ औदुंबरास

  झाला सुरु मग होम

  आकाशी पोहोचला भाव

 कुतूहल वाढे सायंकाळी

  सुरू झाली पालखीची तयारी

  गरजत श्री गुरुदत्त नाम मुखी

  खांद्यावर माझ्या श्रींची पालखी

  वेळ आली आता निरोपाची

  कसा जाऊ जड पावलांनी

  घेतो भरून भक्तीचा घडा

  बोलव मला पुढील वाढदिसा

Visit to Pithapur

Pithapuram, located in Andhra Pradesh, South India, is the birthplace of Lord Shri Guru Dattatraya.

Lord Dattatraya is the incarnation of the Divine Trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh-Shiva
I visited Pithapuram on 10, 11 & 12th of February, as I wanted to be with the Lord on my birthday.
Sharing my experiences -


1. My birthday fell on Friday. As Thursday is Guru Dattatraya day, I decided to visit on Thursday as well as on Friday. Thursday, 11th happened to be Amavasya. So, l was fortunate to perform normal Poojas as well as the Amavasya pooja
2. On Friday, i.e. my birthday, I performed the poojas for my siblings who had requested me to do the same on their behalf. So was fortunate to perform poojas on both the days.
3. I got  the opportunity to carry the Guru Dattatraya palki on two days. On Thursday, there were too many devotees, so had to take turns for the palki rounds. But on Friday, there was only one other devotee who had registered for that day.
4. Different experiences in train travel -

a. Toilets have airplane type flush systems
b. Stations are well painted and clean
c. Co passengers were doing office work
d. Student co passengers were attending classes, reciting poetry in their school class

e. Outside view was lush green. Crops in full bloom, a soothing site for an Mumbai resident

8. Last but not the least -
My this year's birthday date is a palindrome - reads the same backward as well as forward - 12022021

THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY OF MY LIFE in memory, which I shall never forget
