The pilgrimage to the shrine of the Sai Baba of Shirdi is one that is very dear to his devotees all over the world. For some it is at least once in a lifetime aspiration, for others it is an annual tour and for others it is an essential commitment at important phases in life’s milestones. Receiving the blessings of Shirdi Sainath is an undoubtedly a divine experience in itself. When the tour is made with an efficient package deal that caters for comfortable travel, transit, stay and darshan, devotees need to only focus on their prayers.  So how does one ensure that the Chennai Shirdi tour package by Flight ensures a great travel experience?

Let’s consider travelling from Chennai to Shirdi. In today’s fast paced lifestyle waiting for a weekly train booking is quite impractical. Therefore, Chennai to Shirdi by flight is the viable solution. Chennai to Pune are extremely convenient flights. Add to that a warm reception complete with a delicious South Indian breakfast on arrival gets the tour to a happy start, don’t you agree? This is where Vasantkamal tours have made their mark. Guests are greeted at the airport itself. The comfort of air travel is extended on ground as the pilgrims transit to luxury Mercedes Benz coaches for their onward journey.

Respecting the tradition of rituals is another expectancy of any devotee from a tour package. Instead of simply zipping across to Shirdi, a halt at the Ranjangaon Mahaganapati Temple is a step in the right direction. One among the prestigious Ashtavinayak Lord Ganesh itineraries,  this visit allows our Chennai guests to salute Ganesha as they set out towards Shirdi. The end of the long day needs comfortable accommodation for the much needed night rest. Given that one has reached the destination to rest in quality hospitable environment is extremely welcome. For the energetic, there is time to explore the township of Shirdi, pick up souvenirs and memories.

An early start to the day ensures adequate time for Sai Baba Shirdi temple premises and Samadhi. Obeisance paid, blessings received well satisfied tour guests are ready for lunch. A good tour package includes special passes for Darshan most of the time. The visit is guided to include besides the main temple, Gurusthan, Dwarikamai and Chavadi.

The Gurusthan under the shade of the neem (Azardirachta indica) tree marks the tomb of Sai Baba’s guru. Baba lived under this tree for several years before shifting to the Dwarikamai mosque. It is revered by devotees as the Baba paid his respects to his guru and ancestors here.

The Dwarikamai is a simple mosque where Sai Baba propagated his belief in tolerance and acceptance for all. This he said was the same as a mother to all her children hence the suffix “Mai”, meaning mother. It was where the saint moved after several years of living under a neem tree. It became associated with healing by the Baba. Also significant is the perpetual lamp or Dhuni. The ash or “Udi” is considered Prasad as the Baba often healed or blessed his followers with it.

The Chavadi is where Sai Baba chose to sleep on alternate nights. The custom of offering the Sej or night aarti and the Kakad or morning arti here was started when the saint came here to rest from Dwarkamai. The procession from the Chavadi to Dwarkamai of Baba’s photograph taken out every Thursday is a grand spectacle to behold and make the journey from Chennai to Shirdi a truly blessed one. Included in the palanquin are the artifacts of the Sai Baba’s Satka or stick and Paduka or footwear. The increasing grandeur of these processions was miraculously predicted by Sai Baba in his lifetime, despite the fact that he himself preferred Spartan living.

Moving ahead

After the blissful experience of walking in shadow of Sai Baba, travelers with reluctance need to begin their return journey. To soothe the sense of loss, a halt at the steps of powerful deity Shani at Shinganpur is just the correct remedy. This village under the guardianship of the self embodied Shani, has no doors or locks in its constructions. As per the command of Lord Shanaishwara, he was placed in an open yard without a roof. The black stone idol is bathed with oil every Saturday. Temple festivals are held on no moon or Amavasya days. A visit to this shrine is a great opportunity to seek the protection of this ‘jaagrut’ deity for protection from bad omens and evil from one’s life.

The journey back to Pune is time to dwell on the amazing peace of visiting three powerful religious destinations. Then comes the awareness that the peace and tranquility were achieved as your complete focus was on your visits and prayer. Travel and other arrangements were so well taken care of that you didn’t once have to diverge from your path! You ponder over it as you sip your delicious coffee at the break in the drive. Your companions who are animatedly discussing their experiences too seem to have taken their luxury tour package for granted. Mull over that over dinner at Pune and on your flight back to Chennai.
