Chavadi

Sometimes, Baba used to go to Gurusthan, and closing his eyes merge his thoughts with those of his Guru Venkusa who resided inside the underground structure in the form a light (jyoti), On hearing his disciple , Venkusa would enter the head of Baba. The Guru and disciple would silently converse. In the same manner in Dwarkamai during nights. Baba would converse with his father Gurudhan ( Ganga Bhavajiya ). In front of the mosque there was a big hall where sadhus ( mendicants ). took rest and it was chavadi. The sadhus and sanyasis who came to the village stayed there.
Nana Chandorkar and some other made all arrangements to tile the floor in Dwarakamai. They requested Baba to sleep in the chavadi for a night, so that they could attend to the laying of tiles in Dwarkamai overnight. Baba agreed and went to the chavadi. He sat along there as Tatya and mahalsapathi also were busy with tile-laying work . No one else was with Baba in the Chavadi.
In the meditative mood he concentrated on Dwarkamai, Gurudhan and Venkusa. The three appeared before him in the form of jyotis. They discussed several matters. After sometime Gurudhan and Dwarkamai went back to their places. Baba and venkusa discussed things that would take place in shirdi in future and also for the next 500 years. In the meantime twitight broke and venkusa prepared to leave. But Baba pleaded with venkusa to remain in the chavadi and that he would come there on alternate days . Venkusa out of love for Baba , agreed to remain on the right side of portion of the chavadi saying that women should not be allowed to enter that place. Baba agreed to this and from that day onwars till today venkusa is there in chavadi on an invisible forms.
