Shivneri trip

The statue in the Shiv-Mandir Aundh - Nashik Phata – Bhosari – Chakan – Rajgurunagar (Khed) – Manchar – Narayangaon – Junnar – Shivneri Pune to Narayangaon: 75 kms This time we planned our trip to Shivneri. We left Aundh at 6.45 am and reached the Old Mumbai-Pune highway near Harris bridge at Bopodi. From there we followed the highway till Kasarwadi and took a right turn at Nashik Phata. The road is quite crowded because of the industrial town on the way. The people in Bhosari, Moshi, Chakan are so used to the highway that they carry a notion that basic traffic rules are not to be followed. So you encounter people going the wrong way in full speed. They also don’t mind to stop suddenly, turn abruptly and even manage to hold discussions in the middle of the road. There is no point in honking the horn as they are oblivious to it. Here we realise that India is indeed a free country and everyone is free to do whatever they want wherever they are. Rajguru Nagar is another place on the way. ...

आपटी मध्ये अक्षय हा गृहस्थ मस्त उन खात पसरला होता. वैशालीचा पाय पडता पडता वाचला. भोर नंतर काही अंतरावर हे मातीचे धरण आहे . ह्याचे नाव मात्र समजले नाही. वरंध घाटात माकडे मात्र खूप आहेत . ही आहे शिवथर घळ . वरील उजव्या कोपरयात धबधब्याच्या खूणा दिसत आहेत . आम्ही गेलो तेव्हा धबधबा कोरडा ठण ठणठणीत होता . Shivthar Ghal - I would describe "Ghal" as a horizontal crevice in the mountain. Shivthar Ghal is 20 mts long and 15 mts broad. This was the place where Samarth Ramdas wrote "Dasbodh". It is situated in Raigad district just below the Varandh ghat near the border of Pune and Raigad. It gets its name from the river Shivthar that plunges several hundred feet into the Konkan. At the base of this water fall and behind the curtain of water is Shivthar Ghal. One can enter the hall where Ramdas Swami sat, prayed and dictated Dasbodh to Kalyan Swami. Shivthar ghal can be divided in three parts. One of these has statues of Samarth Ramdas and Kalyan Swami. Shivthar Ghal is a very s...

What is "Love"

A student once asked a sage, "What is love?" The sage replied, "In order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through it only once and cannot turn back to pick." The student went to the field, going thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wondered .... may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he started to realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the sage with an empty hand. The sage told him, "... this is love ... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already missed the person...." "What is marriage then?" the student asked. The sage said, "In order to answer your question...
