Dwarkamai is located in between
Samadhi Mandir and Chavadi –
the relaxing place of Master Sai
Baba. One gets on his way to
Dwarkamai by current Checkpoint
No. 3 of Samadhi Mandir Building,
near Mukh-darshan. On the other
hand one can arrive at
Dwarkamai through Checkpoint
No. 4 which moves through a jct
of stores in a little isle.Opposite to
Dwarkamai, one will observe a
lengthy row of stores swarmed
with broad variety of images of
Master Sai Baba in all styles, idols,
attractive parts and much more
which a reader's thoughts
actually think of. Getting near to
Dwarkamai, the huge fireplace is
noticeable as its first vision.
History and Importance
Shirdi Dwarkamai - 1905
This easy and unadorned
framework created up of metal
ceiling and difficult rocks was
middle of religious instructions
which was selected by Master Sai
Baba Himself. It is certainly a
issue of shock to anyone and it
will be challenging to believe the
simple fact it was the locations
where the well-known Fakir
known as "Sai Baba" invested
about 60 decades of His life-span
on this world. When Mhlasapti
declined to allow this wandering
Fakir to create Khandoba
forehead His Residence, an old
and decayed mosque was
determined by Him and it was
known as as “Dwarkamai”.
Rather, this was already meant
and a brilliant phase of Master
Baba to join forces Hindu and
Islamic team by labeling a
mosque after a hub of pilgrimage
of Hindus (Dwarka - Area of
Master Krishna). This mosque
was not limited only to Hindus
and Muslims, individuals of every
caste, creed, color, belief, sect,
intelligence, place were no cost
get into, search for religious
value according to his potential
and come back with articles
center.
Saibaba In Dwarkamai
One would certainly be amazed to
see this traditional framework as
chair of Extremely Spiritual E of
this era and would rather be
perturbed to think the factor that
this was the very same place
where wonders, religious
discourses and nurturing
activities of beloved Master Baba
ran in quivalent variety to its
guests cum hunters. One
viewpoint which can handle this
measures of Master Baba is that
He was dispassion incarnate and
liked full simpleness with
minimal existing and desired to
set an example of non-
attachment, so what place other
than the old and decayed mosque
would fit Him? In this mosque His
qualities were – a Chilam
(smoking pipe), a Satka (small
stick), asking dish and a few parts
of material on which He used to
relax and a Kafni on His body. He
used to say, “Fakiri (poverty) is
far better than Amiri (Kingship).”
Although His supporters
(devotees) was adament to carry
out fixes to this mosque, He tried
to prevent them saying that
there is no need for it. The
mosque in whatever situation it
was, was costlier to Him more
than a diamond-studded precious
metal framework. For Him, this
was actual significance of
Kingship and it has been
mentioned that He never
permitted His lovers to carry cash
money or expensive existing
articles. This would fury Him to
no boundaries, but when easy
lovers introduced something to
eat for Him and afterwards didn't
remember about the factor, the
liability of telling the devotee was
on back of special Master Baba.
Hiss really like ran in large
quantity on such events and in
convert Master Baba Himself got
in financial trouble to offer His
special devotee for many births to
come alongwith the existing one.
Shirdi Saibaba Old Dwarkamai -
Appx.-1930
The peculiarity of this mosque as
stated earlier is that anyone was
free to access it. Suffering bodies
and its resident souls experienced
that merely going inside this
palace of Lord Baba confer
blessings and one is free from
every misery the very same
moment. One always has a
feeling of security, calmness,
acceptance when he is in his
mother’s lap. Lord Baba described
greatness of this mosque by
naming it as “Maai or Ayi (as said
in Marathi language). Henceforth
I would also refer it as ‘Mother
Mosque’.
See what Master Baba has said
about this mom mosque: This is
our Dwarkamai, where you are
seated. She wards off all risks and
stresses of the kids, who sit in her
lap. This Masjidmai is very
merciful; she is the merciful mom
of the easy lovers, whom she will
preserve in mishaps. Once a
individual rests in her lap, all his
problems are over. He, who sets in
her color, gets enjoyment.”
One is surely to get enhanced
motherly and homely
atmosphere in this abode of Lord
Baba. But as per His
characteristic, He included
Himself in His group of devotees
and be a One of them! Lord Sai
Baba is loving mother to many of
His devotees and to many others
He is God Supreme. Thus these
two are closely synthesized in
Lord Baba – a mother who looks
after smallest of smallest
domestic need of His child and the
Supreme One Who is always
concerned about spiritual
upliftment of His devotees.
Dwarkamai Masjid 1898
When Lord Baba moved to this
dilapidated mosque, it was sheer
small and not like the one which
we see today. Rather, only the
upper level existed where Lord
Baba has settled and started to
live like ordinary Fakir mortals.
Few rich devotees thought of
getting mosque repaired. With
initial opposition of Lord Baba,
they succeeded in getting
permission through Bhagat
Mhlasapti who intervened and
pressed Lord Baba to accept
request of His dear devotees. Shri
Gopal Gund thought that he
should repair and renovate the
Masjid. But this work was not
assigned to him. This was
reserved for Nanasaheb
Chandorkar and the pavement
work for Kakasaheb Dixit. His
permanently shifting to
dwarkamai was in fact a turning
point of His life and also the
village as a whole because it
marked close contact with local
residents of Shirdi.
Saibaba In Dwarkamai
After sometime a unusual and
amazing occurrence drawn the
villager’s interest and thereby
they came to know about some
unnatural capabilities current in
this so known as mad Fakir. The
occurrence has been read in Shri
Sai Satcharitra and it has been
very well-known, that these days
also it is being recalled and has
got place in designs of many
bhajan lines authors, artwork of
performers and documents of
broad variety of authors.
After this occurrence many leelas
followed leading to a ongoing
increase of lovers and the trend
has not ceased ever since then. It
noticeable success of excellent
over wicked, simple fact over
falsity, lighting over night.
Dwarkamai is thus always lit with
lighting, lighting being a icon of
understanding and religious
wiseness. Here is finish edition of
this story: Sai Baba was very
attached to lighting. He used to
gain accessibility oil from shop-
keepers, and keep bulbs losing
the whole evening in the Masjid
and forehead. This went on for a
while. The Banias, who provided
oil free, once met together and
determined not to provide Him oil.
When, as regular, Sai Baba went
to ask for oil, they all offered Him
a unique “No”. Unperturbed, Sai
Baba came back to the Masjid and
kept the dry draws in the bulbs.
The banias were looking at Him
with fascination. Sai Baba took
the Tumrel (tin pot) which
provided very little (a few drops)
of oil, put drinking water into it
and consumed it and pressured it
drop in the package. After
consecrating the tin-pot in this
way, He again took drinking water
in the tin-pot and loaded all the
bulbs with it and lit up them. To
the shock and surprise of the
looking at Banias, the bulbs
began to get rid of and kept losing
the whole evening. The Banias
repented and apologized. Sai Baba
forgave them and requested
them to be more genuine later
on.
Dwarkamai Present
The Dwarkamai of today consists
of two levels – the upper and
lower one. The upper level
consists of Dhuni Maa, A Puja
Pillar, Water Pot on Stand,
Kolamba underneath it, Nimbar, A
Grinding Stone and Sack of Wheat
Grains, Cupboard containing
Chilams, a Large Portrait of Lord
Baba – a living image of posture
in which Lord Baba used to sit in
Dwarkamai, Padukas in front of
the Portrait, Dakshina Box and a
bathing stone and lower level
consists of A Tulsi Brindavan,
Lord Baba’s portrait in His Sweet
Posture and the stone on which
He used to sit, Animal statues of a
tiger and horse, A Tortoise tile,
The Cooking hearth (Chula) and
Wooden Post, Padukas where
Baba used to Stand, Storage room
and The Bell.
The lower level of mother
mosque remains open all day and
night allowing kids of Lord Baba
to sit and rest. During three
festivals of Ramnavami,
Gurupoornima and Dushera the
upper level is also kept open at
nights.
