dear moderator

thank you for posting mr. rahul's advt for pandarapur trip.

my parents and relatives (7 of them - all senior citizens with some health weaknesses) were interested in visiting pandarapur and kolhapur. the agents they consulted didnt asssure them of pandarapur just confirmed shirdi alone. so they thought of managing on their own and had booked tickets to and fro from chennai.

upon seeing mr.rahul's advt we contacted him and he very convinently arranged the tour itenery based on the number of days they had 
in hand.

they had the bhagyam of visiting


a) Pandarapuram Vitala temple,
b) Pune Lakshminarayan Temple   
c) Kolapur Mahalakshmi Temple   
d) Shani Shingnapur Temple    
e) Shirdi Shri Sai Baba Temple   
f) Tulja Bhavani Temple

They were given A/C double room (2 people/room), mineral water for drinking and were taken to only very good pure vegetarian hotels at all places and a separate 8-seater car for their travel. He personally accompanied them everywhere. Since their return tickets were on wait-list he made sure they got seats in a different train at 2am in the morning despite the fact that he hadnt booked their return journey.

The visit was very good with no regrets and was very reasonably priced. They didnt have to wait much in the queue ...so they had a very relaxed trip inspite of travelling on all days.

Thank you once again. I must say it is nothing but apaara karuna of Panduranga Vitala for the timely posting of the advt and their satifactory trip

regards
archana sriram

Pilgrimage to
Vitthala Temple. (Pandharipuram) -
Tulja Bhavani Temple (Tuljapur)
Shani Temple (Shingnapur) -
Sai Baba Temple (Shirdi)
 
 
Our tours are emphatically different keeping in mind the health of senior citizens who mostly suffer from sugar and heart ailments. We provide timely refreshment &planned spaced tours to avoid long journey hours. We care to nurture you better.
 
These four temples are duly important destinations that any human being must visit at least once in a life time for their significance as below :
 
Vitthala Rukmini
temple of Pandharipuram, is also considered as the SOUTH KASHI.
 
In this temple, it is felt that Vitthala comes so close to his bhaktas that any person can touch their forehead to the  lotus feet of Sri Hari.
 
Vitthala. sweet Vitthala ! What closeness… what a solace to our heart…where could we get this joy! What an ocean of joy to touch His heavenly feet and seek Moksham.
 
Tulja Bhavani Temple
Bhavani is a ferocious aspect of the Hindu goddess Shakti or Devi. Bhavani means “giver of life”, the power of nature
or the source of creative energy. In addition to her ferocious aspect, she is also known as Karunaswaroopini, “filled with mercy”.
Bhavani was the tutelary deity of the Maratha leader Shivaji. A temple to Bhavani, at Tuljapur in Maharashtra, dates back to the 12 th century. The temple contains a meter-high granite image of the goddess, with eight arms holding
weapons, and bearing the head of the demon Mahishasura.
 
Shani Temple (Shingnapur)
Shani is one of the Navagrahas which are the nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology. One of the most important shrines for Lord Shani is in Shingnapur, in Maharashtra. The deity self-emerged from the earth (SWYAMBHU) in the form of a stone block and was found by shepherds. When they touched the stone with a pointed rod the stone began bleeding. The shepherds were astounded and one night one of the shepherds got a dream that the deity was Lord Shani. To this day, due to fear of Shani, houses within a 1 km radius of the Shani temple do not have locks. No thefts happen in this place.
Devotees also perform ‘Abhishekas’ (rites involving pouring of certain liquids over the idol) with water and ‘Til’ (mustard) oil.
 
Sai Baba Temple (Shirdi)
This is the shrine and samadi of Sai Baba who lived at Shirdi during the latter half of the 19 th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The Sai Baba mandir in Shirdi is active and worship of Sai is conducted in it every day. Pilgrims visit Shirdi in large numbers. Shirdi Baba is especially revered and worshipped in the state of Maharashtra.
A religious organisation of Sai Baba’s devotees called the Shri Saibaba Sansthan is based there. We provide you food and accommodation in the most hygienic hotels that make you experience an entirely comfortable pilgrimage with the least strain.
