Padukas
PANJIM, FEB 20 Chief Minister Digambar Kamat will receive the Padukas (sacred footwear) of Sai Baba at Patradevi on February 21, which will be displayed at Gymkhana Grounds, Campal, on February 22 for devotees to pay their respects. The Sai Baba Saunsthan Trust, Shirdi, has planned to organise a Sai Baba Sammelan in Panjim with a view to commemorate the centenary of the weekly tradition of Sai Baba’s Palakhi (ceremonial palanquin procession) from Dwarkamai temple to the Chavadi (city gate) in Shirdi every Thursday. The organisers are expecting around one lakh devotees to pay their respects and also made arrangements for a queue of 10,000 persons at a time in the pandal at the Panjim Gymkhana. The chairman of the Sai
Baba Paduka Darshan Sohala Samiti, Anil Counto, addressing a press conference
here said that special arrangements have been made to display the Padukas
in a pandal at Campal.
“We expect nearly 1 lakh
people from Goa as well as neighbouring states of Karnataka and Maharashtra
to visit the “Paduka Darshan Sohala”, he added.
Seating arrangements for
senior citizens, volunteers to accompany the visiting physically challenged
persons, drinking water facility, security, etc would be provided by the
committee.
The sage has a large following of devotees from every religion. Mr Counto also appealed to the people to make contributions, even if they are token contributions, for the occasion and contact the committee for the same. |
