kopargaon railway station to shirdi
The total straight line distance between Kopargaon and Sainagar Shirdi is 18 KM (kilometers). The miles based distance from Kopargaon to Sainagar Shirdi is 6.1 miles. This is a straight line distance and so most of the time the actual travel distance between KopargaonKopargaon to Shirdi distance
First i have to tell how i landed up at kopergaon; a place as remote as Timbuktu in 1970 .
AFTER FINISHING MY STUDIES I STARTED WORKING IN MYSORE CITY-1970.
Those days 99% marriages were arranged marriage, i being a bit shy with women never had the chance to come close enough to any woman during my studies .It was the duty of the parents of such children (both boys and girls above age 18-20 to arrange marriages
I got married from kopergaon
V
I did not want to give personal detailes but i am now forced to reveal:-
My inlaws were both working in kopergaon town from 1940(dont want give more details)I joined them in their work after marriage.
Those days -1970- shirdi was still a very undeveloped backward village .NO HOTELS IN SHIRDI IN 1970 WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW BACKWARD THE VILLAGE WAS IN 1970.
one may ask how pilgrims coming to shirdi survived?-answer is ,they used to come mainly from BOMBAY /MUMBAI by overnight bus to reach shirdi early morning for poojas -ONLY FRIDAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY-other days shirdi was empty of crowd in 1970-so all these crowd started after that.
since there was no hotel in shirdi they used to go back same day all the way to Bombay.few used to stay in nasik
Nasik had just one or two good hotels(grade 2 to grade 3) in 1970 the remainig places of stay were attached to temples etc-not hotels, but choultries means just room with no attached anything .that shows how backward Nasik was in 1970
Travel was by steam engine trains .There was no direct train to shirdi in 1970
as shirdi was still an unknown pilgrimage center -known only to people from Bombay and surrounding areas-in 1970
i could not even dream in 1970; that shirdi will have airport -
looks soooo unreal to see old shirdi with no hotels of 1970
to have an airport now!!!
people from Bombay had to come by calcutta mail/express ;
get down at Manmad railway station;wait for meter guage steam engine trains
So much backward it was -road;train;no hotels
WHEN I JOINED my inlaws work-That is the time i met not 1 or 2 but about 5,6 old men from shirdi who actually met him .I USED TO ASK THEM OUT OF CURIOSITY AND THEY ALL CONFIRMED THAT
Sai Baba of Shirdi
1970 MINUS 1918-- 52 YEAR AGO THEY MET HIM
-AND I AM LUCKY TO MEET THEM AND LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES
-ON SEEING THE ABOVE VIDEO I DECIDED TO WRITE MY STORY
...........................................................
as these are my private stories i donot want to give such stories any publicity
an additional story about how ..... blessings? came with us to Bombay-1980
we bought one additional one bedroom for restarting our kopergaon work in Bombay(1980)
but found it too small so gave it for rent
many people stayed there one after another from 1980
then one day a sindhi gentle man who stayed and left after 2 years came and told me a strange story
first i was not ready to believe it at all
he said after staying in that flat for rental all his problems got solved
i asked what problems?
he said he had many cases in court ,and some other problems all got over
so i asked how you are connecting the flat to that?
he said the person who stayed before him also had all his problems got over
still i did not believe .
then another sindhi gentle man came to reside there and his business went up and up
he was ready to buy the flat -but never got it as desired
so he did a special pooja in that flat and took which ever god/godess whose presence was there and took to his new flat
i dont want say any more details
SO BLESSINGS HAPPEN WITHOUT WE KNOWING IT HOW IT HAPPENS
I don't know which good spirit or God was there
I ALSO NOW BELIEVE THE STORY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES
=================================
from you tube i found many stories against him(SAIBABA) also
but i do not want get into controversies in belief
I believe in GOD and i know GOD is great and good
