eCabs, Shirdi and the Sai Baba

Shirdi Darshan Tours

eCabs provides Air-Conditioned Private Taxi / Cab service for Pune to Shirdi and Mumbai to Shirdi Tours. You can pre-book the car either from Mumbai City Hotel / Mumbai Airport or from Pune City Hotel / Pune Airport. We charge a fixed rate for Car Travel from Mumbai / Pune with one night halt in Shirdi. We put in our best efforts to see that you come back satisfied after visiting Baba.

Shirdi town is situated in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra State. It is a great spiritual centre to people from all religions and is famous for Shri Sai Baba Temple located in the heart of the town.

122 kms from Nashik is the abode of one of Maharashtra’s most revered saint — Sai Baba of Shirdi. Popularly known as the ‘Child of God’, Sai Baba preached tolerance towards all religions and the message of universal brotherhood.

Every activity at Shirdi revolves around the vast temple complex dedicated to Sai Baba. Devotees start queuing up in the early hours of dawn to catch a glimpse and seek the blessings of the life-size statue of Sai Baba. Thursday is marked by special pujas and darshan of the Sai Baba statue. There are other places of interest that devotees can visit as well including Dwarkamani Mosque where the Baba meditated and slept on alternate nights. Near the mosque, in a corridor is the dhani or eternal flame that burns day and night. Other places of importance are the Gurusthan, the Kandoba Temple, Shani Mandir, Narsimha Mandir, Changdev Maharaj Samadhi and the Sakori Ashram.

One of the foremost saints of modern India, lived in the small village of Shirdi in the state of Maharashtra for sixty years. Due to his presence there even after his Samadhi, today the small village has transformed itself as a great spiritual centre to people from all religions. Shri Sai Baba, in spite of his great spiritual stature, never publicized himself through discoursing, touring and preaching—unlike many of today’s ’so-called’ saints. Rather, he discouraged unnecessary publicity. But still, his spiritual perfection is still drawing innumerable devotees to him from all over the world.

Sai Baba did never reveal his original name, time and place of birth, especially his religion and caste, and even the names of his parents. Through this, he has emerged as a solution to all the religious and communal differences that are destroying the world today. He preaches that God is Almighty and he has given all the souls on earth equal opportunity to reach him, whichever is the religion they belong to. ‘Sai Baba’ is the name given to him by his first devotee, Mahalsapathi - ‘Sai’ means ‘Saint’ and ‘Baba’ means ‘Father’. The name is just an expression of love, reverence and devotion.
