We
decided to visit Alandi. Alandi is where Saint Dnyaneshwar, after
translating the Bhagavad-Gita into Marathi attained samadhi in
a cave. All along the way we could see army land and army training
schools. We all need to pass thru the heavy protected land before
reaching the holy land of Saint Dnyaneshwar. Roads look narrow
but expand on the way to heaven. Caste and creed matter none on
the way to the temple. The best way to visit Alandi is to drop
your ego and fill yourself with pure love. All along the way we
saw different farm houses for people to relax and eat. So many
old trees along the way stand tall as if they are inviting you.
People in Alandi are very simple and have no issues of modern
world. Yes they do find ways of making money from visitors cant
blame them they need money to run such a holy place and a family.
Temple complex has been built near the spot of Sant Dnyaneshwar's
samadhi. It is visited by thousands of pilgrims, and in particular,
those of the Varkari. Houses are simple and hearty. One would
find stone and marble roady works on the way. New townships and
individual projects are emerging. Farmers also working hard for
growing pure maze. Alandi town has everything one needs to survive.
From metal shops, juice bars, variety stores, tea stalls &
restaurants. A small lane leading to the temple filled with small
shops with flowers, sweets, toys & bangles. We saw many airtel
hoarding in Alandi An amazing shop filled with Sant Dnyaneshwar's
photos made us wait and watch.....
