Sairam friends,
I found many Shirdi saibaba devotees are concerned about accomodation,food and journey to shirdi. Shirdi is now a town with all necessary things you need to stay peacefully. There are lots of hotels , lodges and very very affordable places built by shirdi saibaba sansthan .We must thank the sansthan because on an average around 20,000 to one lakh devotees has darshan of saibaba everyday.....
Please do not worry about your journey :
Shirdi trip will be fine by blessings of saibaba
Few sai devotees who travel from far away places or abroad , worry a lot about how they are going to reach shirdi safely. Many times elderly devotees and sai devotees living abroad has enquired me and i have helped them with some good information....
Thats why i created this blog especially to give confidence and motivation for all true shirdi saibaba devotees to travel to shirdi keeping sai in mind.
If you decide to go to shirdi, Just pray to sai whole heartedly...surely he will guide you.
Hotels and food in shirdi :
For south indians, lots of hotels offering Andhra meals is there.For north indians there are really all kinds of foods available....
Hotels and lodges in shirdi :
when am writing this in october 2007, Lodges are available from 300 rupees perday to 600 rupees...Mostly for a good lodge you might pay an average of 400 to 800 rupees per day. As soon as you get down the bus, many guides will ask if you need arrangement for stay.If you are comfortable with them go with them or first walk to shirdi saibaba sansthan office, do enquiry or if you see any lodges which u like just walk in and ask for tarrif....
Its simple...sais blessings are with u..so never worry when u travel to shirdi ...the reason i made this blog is that i want all shirdi saibaba devotees to reach shirdi without any worries, stay in the lodge or hotel which they find affordable and comfortable and have peaceful Darshan of our saibaba.
Please be confident..everything will be taken care by shirdi saibaba. All you need is whole hearted devotion.
Shirdi saibaba bless you to have a happy journey to shirdi, peaceful stay and a beautiful Darshan of sai in samadhi mandhir, Dwarakamai,Chavdi,Nandadeep and Kandoba temple.
