Q) How did Guru Pournima start in Shirdi?
The Marathi book, Shiladi states that once, in 1908, Tatyasaheb Noolkar came to Shirdi and stayed in Chavadi. One day Baba told Madhavrao to tell him to worship that post (pillar). The post Baba showed was near the Dhuni and Baba used to lean on it. That was the day when Noolkar was glad to have chance to worship at least the post in Masjid. Then Madhavrao Deshpande went into the Masjid. Baba told him to worship the same post along with Noolkar. But Madhavrao refused and insead requested to allow him to worship Baba himself. At last Baba gave the permission.
Dadasaheb Kelkar was unaware of this Puja. Tatya Kote Patil was called from the field. People gathered the ‘Puja’ material. Dhoti was brought and people offered Dhoti to Baba, and worshiped him. That day happened to be the Pournima (full moon day) of Ashada (July) month traditionally celebrated as Vyas or Guru puja day. Baba had no use of clothes and puja material brought for the worship but he gave permission in order to start the routine of Vyas/Guru puja. Thus this Puja that started during Baba’s time continues even now and is of great importance among devotees of Shri Shirdi Sai all over the world.
