What is it that attracts lakhs and lakhs to pandhapur on this auspicious day of ashadhi ekadashi....vithoba pulling the strings and heart strings...to His pandhari. culmination of wari....people coming from all over the world...with this belief that Mauli is the one who is going to see me thru this ringan...cycle of life and death....
happened to visit a vittala temple in triplicane in Chennai today... temple is 100 years old. vithoba and
rakhumai travelled from pandharpur in the year 1906 in a bullock cart...
happened to visit a vittala temple in triplicane in Chennai today... temple is 100 years old. vithoba and
rakhumai travelled from pandharpur in the year 1906 in a bullock cart...not many devotees were present here ...it seems mejority have gone to pandhrpur with a wari. but tomorrow is the Dday and starting with abhishekam tomorrow morning festivities will continue on dwadashi also.
This is also called shayani ekadashi.It is believed that Lord Vishnu will be taking rest from tomorrow , till karthiki ekadashi.
according to puranas goddess ekadashi killed daitya Mrudumanya on this day. as far as the story goes lord shiva granted the boon to the asura that he can be killed only by a female form. soon enough asura Mrudumanya started troubling brahma , vishnu and mahesha...Gods took refuge in cave where they went without food for 3 days..and since it started raining this turned out to b great vrata for them...on the 3rd day from the breaths of the divine trimurties materialised goddess ekadashi...
palakhis of dyanadev and tukaram will reach pandharpur....and meet up with mauli.. journey comes to an end...we can only pray for blessings.....and His grace...
Pandharinath Maharaj ki Jay !!!!!
