‘Cholappā’s (Shree Swāmi’s dearest disciple) house is
kept as it is, on the left hand side of the ‘Samādhi Math’. In
this very place, 'Shree Swāmi Mahārāj' lived for 21 long years. In the sanctum
sanctorum in the front of the centre, is the Samadhi of Shree
Swāmi. Behind this are the idols of "Khandoba" (incarnation of
Lord Shiva) established by ‘Shree Swāmi’ Himself. If one visits
all the places mentioned about in one day, and takes the holy
"Darshan's", then one will get enough time, the next day, to do
"Abhishek" with a calm and peaceful mind.
Normally next day, early morning, all of us
go to ‘Shree Swāmi Samarth’ Samādhi Math’ which is in ‘Budhwar Peth’ to
perform "Abhishek". My friend ‘Shree Sudhakar Ramchandra Pujari’
conducts the entire Pooja. While doing the "Abhishek" on ‘Shree Māuli’s Samādhi’, we get misty
eyed. How often Shree Swāmi Mauli runs to help the devotees in
trouble, cures them from sicknesses, looks after them tenderly, like we
handle a delicate flower.
Just to see us happy and content, He
constantly keeps a watch on us and follows us wherever we go. Indeed
Shree Swāmi Samarth Mahārāj is the ‘LOVING MOTHER’ of all the Shree
Swāmi devotees!. That’s why we address Him as ‘Māuli’. Only this name
befits Him, as who can be more loving than a mother? Swāmi Māuli diligently,
ceaselessly works hard for us. Takes pains for us, hence we as we
are performing the "Abhishek", tears start rolling down our cheeks due
to gratitude and a "Abhishek" of tears on ‘Shree Swāmi Mahārāj’s Samādhi’ takes place
without our knowledge.
After completing the "Abhishek", while
circumbulating the temple, one feels perfectly satisfied and happy.
One feels as if nothing more is left for achieving.
One feels that living this life was a worthwhile experience and
whatever time was spent in 'Shree Swāmi Bhakti' was the time well spent
and in a useful and satisfactory manner. Immediately after the
circumbulations are done, ‘Sudhākar’s mother and father ‘Annā’ and ‘Sau. Aai’
lovingly hold our hand and take us to their own home. On entering the
house one feels the very presence of ‘Shree Swāmi’ and ‘Cholappā’. We feel that
once ‘Shree Swāmi’ and ‘Cholappā’ must have moved around, sat, and talked in
this house, where Swāmi spent 21 good years.
