Shree Gajanan maharaj attained Mahasamadhi on 8th September 1910 . He had
indicate to the place where HE would be 'resting' after giving up HIS mortal
body. He did not 'die' in the common sense of the term. It was a Yogic
sanjeevani samadhi - maharaj chose the day after Ganesha Chaturthi to end HIS
'avataar karya' ( His spiritual mission as incarnation of the Almighty )- known
as Rishi panchami . On 8th Sep 1910 , at 8 am , HE sat in yogic posture , closed
HIS eyes , and with Yogic powers controlled his life breath by taking it into
his head and uttering the words " Jay Gajanan ".
It is recorded in the biography that Gajanan Maharaj was fond of 'durvas' (
grass blades) , 'modaks' ( a sweet with coconut filling ) which is offered as
Naivedya ( holy offering of food) to Lord Ganesha. He chose this day because
Ganesha is immersed on the following day of Bhadrapad Chaturthi and the human
body should also be 'immersed' in samadhi accordingly. Thousands of devotees
came from far and near to witness the samadhi being created on that day.
A lump of butter which was placed on maharaj's head by Govind Shastri of
Dongaon, ,6 hours after HE left HIS body, continued to melt vigorously ,
indicating that Maharaj's body was warm inspite of having "passed away" .
Years later after Gajanan Maharaj gave up HIS body , the Chairperson of Shegaon
sansthan and an ardent devotee of Maharaj, Shri Hari Kukaji Patil could not
resist his desire to have a glance at the body of maharaj in samadhi. He got the
slab opened and he could see that the flowers and tulsi leaves which placed on
the head of maharaj in samadhi were as fresh as they were several years ago .
This miracle amply proves that Gajanan maharaj was a messenger of God or God
incarnate Himself
Gajanan Maharaj ki Jai!!!
Jai Jai Sai Gajanan!!!
