Bapu (Aniruddhasinh) Performs Poojan of ‘ 12 Shree Baanlinga and 3 Shaaligraam ‘ in the Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram

12 Shree Baanlinga and 3 Shaaligraam

Shree Baanlinga
On Friday, 31st August 2012, late evening at 8.45 PM, Bapu (Aniruddhasinh) arrived at Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram. He had carried with Him, 12 Shree Baanlinga made of crystal and representative of the 12 Jyotirlinga. He kept these in a platter (taamhan) which He placed on the Dharmaasan. One of these Baanlinga, of a colour different from the others, is also larger in size compared to them. Also, it bears a mark exactly like the one to be seen on the Shree Mahadurgeshwar.

In another platter (taamhan), Bapu then kept three of the 108 shaaligraam to which poojan had been offered during the Shree Jagannath Utsav (2002-2003). Since then, all of these 108 Shaaligraam had been kept at Govidyapeetham. It was a few days ago that they were brought to Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram. Here, the tulsi leaves are offered to the shaaligraam as part of the regular poojan. .

Bapu (Aniruddhasinh) offered the tulsi leaves to the Shaaligraam and the Bel (Wood Apple) leaves to the 12 Shree Baanlinga as part of the poojan. Following the poojan, Bapu recited along with all the shraddhavaan Bapu Bhaktas present, the Shree Mahadurgeshwar jap – “Om Namo Bhagavate Shreemahadurgeshvaraaya Namah ll”.

  1. Dada … really you ensure that no Shraddhavan misses any action or update frrom beloved Bapu.

    तुमच्या ह्या ऋणातून आम्हा श्रद्धावानांना बाहेर पडावसं कधीच वाटणार नाही.

    मामा नेहमी जरा जास्ती लाडकाच असतो; आई वडिलांपेक्षा … आणि आमचे तर दोन-दोन मामा आहेत !!

    श्रीराम , हरि ओम


  2. Hari om Samir dada. If Bapu has not accepted us, we would never have been a part of such a sacred “Baan Linga”. This blog helps a lot to know about new seremonies happening in Shree Aniruddha Gurukshetram. Thanks and Shree Raam for sharing sucha wonderful and such a holy phenomenon .

  5. हरि ओम दादा. सदगुरु बापूंनी श्री अनिरुद्ध गुरुक्षेत्रम येथे १२ श्री बाणलिंगाची आणि ३ शाळिग्रामांचे पूजन केले , त्याची माहिती दिल्याबद्दल अत्यंत मन:पूर्वक धन्यवाद !!!!! बापूंनी साक्षात १२ ज्योतिर्लिंग स्वरूप श्री बाणलिंगाची एकत्रित पूजा करुन जणु काही १२ ज्योतिर्लिंग यात्रेचे माहात्म्यच श्रद्धावानांच्या पदरी बांधले आहे, किती ही आपली कनवाळू सदगुरु बापू माऊली अनंत हस्ताने त्याची अपंरपार करुणा , कृपा ह्यांचा सतत वर्षावच करीत आहे आपल्या सर्वांवर !!! मागील खेपेसही बापूंनी असेच मुंबईत राहूनच वेळ आणि पैसा दोन्हीचा व्यय टाळून साक्षात काशी- विश्वेश्वराच्या यात्रेचे पुण्य पदरी घातले. आताही १२ ज्योतिर्लिंगाचा प्रवास फक्त बापूंच्या अखंड प्रयासांनी आपण फक्त श्री अनिरुद्ध गुरुक्षेत्रमला जाऊन करु शकतो….
    बापूंनी पटविलेली श्री महादुर्गेश्वराची आणि श्री बाणलिंगाची खुणेची साम्यता ही बरेच काही सुचित करते.
    खूप खूप श्रीराम!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  6. Hariom dada, I was lucky to be present during the poojan. It was really a Unique experience of seeing Bapu performing the poojan and then explaining us the importance of the BAANNLINGA. We then got the opportunity of taking darshan of the BAANNLINGA. It was unforgetable moment for all of us specially to those who have done the SHAALIGRAM POOJAN before the JAGANNATH UTSAV.

  11. Hari om dada,
    Because of the beautiful blog updates, we never miss any function, pooja done by Bapu. Also mentioning Bapu as 'Aniruddhasinh' makes us remember the discourse given by Bapu few weeks back that 'aata nusta basun ashirwad nahi dyaycha, tar aata tumchya barobar kaam karaycha ahe'.
    Shreeram for sharing.


  12. Shri ram Samirdada, great to see the prompt updates. This article was very informative, and it is really great to see parampujya bapu performing the poojan.

    Shri Ram.
