Hello All,
Thanks to you all for all your review comments!
This time I am going to write review about my travel to Ganagapur, Kolhapur and Audumbar my most favorite places on the earth for peace of mind.
This time I went with my whole family i.e. mom, dad, wife and my new born kid and hence it has to the most comfortable journey to all these places.
The most important part of our journey was visit to Gangapur i.e. a place of Narsinvha Saraswati Maharaj, people who read ‘Guru Charitra’ know about the divinity of this place.
It is the place where Guru maharaj stayed for most of his physical life, he is still staying there in sense of spirituality and hence that place become so important. He showed all his ‘Lilas’ at that place. It is that place where, if a person goes with full of love/Bhakti towards Guru Maharaj for ‘Darshana’ then it is our ‘Guru Maharaj’s’ duty to fulfill his wish. I am one of the persons who have blessed with such a divine power. I must write it to you that whenever you get a chance and if you are in problem which is not getting solved by all your efforts then please visit this place and I am sure your problem and wish will be answered within a jiffy.
This place has ‘Guru Maharaj’s’ Nirgun Paduka, which gives blessings to all who are in need. Last time I visited this place 2 years ago and my wish got fulfilled in a year and hence I visited this place again this year.
We all visited Akkalkot for night stay and then visited Gangapur which is 70 km from Akkalkot. This place is on Maharashtra and Karnataka border and near to Gulbarga station, Gangapur is also has railway station. However, the road condition from Afzalpur to Gangapur is so bad that if you are travelling by your own vehicle, the please don’t do so as it might possible that your vehicle may get damaged due to worst road conditions. Another caution is, you must start early in the morning as road are bad, it takes almost 2.5 hrs to reach via Akkalkot to Ganagapur, please make sure to start from Ganagapur before evening.
I don’t know it is due to the Karnataka govt. or Maharashtra govt. who is responsible for this road. When I enquired locally I got informed that there is MLA who is getting elected continuously from last 30 years and still the road condition is so worst, I don’t know why people are not uttering a single word against it.
The another pathetic thing about Gangapur Datta Temple is that, The temple is such a badly managed place that, I am really sorry to write this, that whatever I have written above for ‘Guru maharaj’ you may find not true due to the badly managed temple and it’s Pujari’s there. The overall all atmosphere is not the way we expect it to be.
When I enquired at the temple management about it they told me that It is due to the court case which is going on between Pujari’s and Temple management, and hence there is this problem. However, I strongly feel that whatever may be the problem, no one stops cleaning temple may be thrice or there has to be a contractor appointed to clean the temple always. It can be done without anyone having objections to it.
Another problem with this place is water, the water quality and road quality within this village is again bad. There is load shading for almost 16 to 18 hrs per day and people stays there in such a bad condition. There are no proper sanitation arrangements as there is scarcity of water.
I feel very bad about it, as I want to visit that place yearly and If I can’t stay there for a night where I personally get peace of mind, then whom to blame for it.
I do agree ‘Guru’ seva is not that easy however these are basic facilities which have to be there. I am sharing this blog or post on all my social networking sites, I request to all Datta Devotees to raise their voice and stand up for the betterment of Ganagapur Datta Temple and Ganagapur village and approach road from Akkalkot to Gangapur, as I personally think that this is what I can do and want all of you to support me in this cause.
Please raise voice and ask for our basic rights! So that we all can go there and really enjoy the stay and proximity of our Guru Maharaj
