REVAMPING OF THE SHIRDI SAI TEMPLE COMPLEX
Saturday 30th Oct`2010
The Shirdi Sai Baba Temple Trust has cleared a New Floor Plan,
approved by architect Hafeez Contactor, for the Shirdi Temple Complex. It will cut waiting time for devotees by half.The Project proposes demolishing the existing Waiting Hall and replacing it with an Air-Conditioned Hall for 25,000 pilgrims. The Plan was approved at the last meeting of the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, which runs the Shrine.Other new facilities in the Revamped Temple Complex will be a moving walkway or a Conveyor Belt for the disabled / elderly pilgrims. This Conveyor Belt will take them right next to Sai Baba's Samadhi in the Temple’s Sanctum.The Project is expected to cost Rs.60 crore and the work will start in two months, said Jayant Sasane chairman of the Temple Trust. The Sai Baba Temple receives 25,000 devotees daily. But on Thursdays and festive days, the number reaches nearly 1 lakh. On rush days, pilgrims have to wait in a queue stand for an average of 3 hrs. Sometimes, the waiting time goes up to 5 hrs.Trustee Sami Khatib said at present, devotees have to walk a lot before reaching the Samadhi. “The new plan, which was passed with few modifications,
will not only reduce the waiting time but also help regulate the flow of pilgrims. Now that we have finished other facilities that were planned in Shirdi, including a hospital, we will be able to concentrate on the Main Complex,” he said.Contractor visited the Sai Temple few days back. Trust officials said he will give his approval for a selected plan in two weeks. Contractor said, “They (the Shirdi trust) have asked for my advice, but nothing has been finalised yet.”Narendra Rajput, a Sion-Koliwada resident who visits the Shrine every month, said, “Unless the Trust stops giving preference to VIPs, no amount of new facilities will help ordinary pilgrims.”
Faith in Baba is a Means to Realize God
Film:Maalik Ek (U)
Cast: Jackie Shroff, Smriti Irani, Divya Dutta, Rajeshwari Sachdeva, Govind Namdeo, Shakti KapoorDirector: Deepak Balraaj Vij
Rating: 1/2
Maalik Ek is an attempt to cash in on the religious sensibilities of the Indian audiences. So director Vij does not bother about putting up a show that is even close to bearable. He seems to take it for granted that faith (or blind faith) will draw naïve audiences to pay for something this bad and embarrassing.
A shoddy script, bad direction, poor camerawork and a tapori Sai Baba (Shroff) welcome you to tirth sthaan Shirdi, where Dwarka Mai (Irani) and Lakshmi (Dutta) are dreamily talking about fakir Sai Baba and his spiritual powers.
There is no attempt to track the life and times of a young Sai Baba and how he comes to be a respected and saintly figure in his old age. Audiences with no particular faith or interest in Sai Baba’s life will be lost trying to gauge how he became what he became!
Dwarka Mai and Lakshmi (did I mention their gaudy make-up?) take us through the life of the saint with flashbacks from a small village Shirdi in Maharashtra, said to have been the place where people witnessed the Baba’s miraculous powers. The events unfolding on screen are random and no screenplay seems to have been in place before shooting began.
Shroff looks the part all right but speaks more like a roadside tapori, complete with dance sequence and language that doesn’t suit even a layman. The dubbing for the most part is off and makes one feel like one is watching a South Indian film dubbed in Hindi. Even the other actors fail to make any impact. The only character you might remember at the end is that of Saraswati (Sachdeva), a poor farmer’s daughter who commits suicide out of frustration and poverty.
If you do go to watch the film, you'll end up praying to Sai Baba (not Shroff, please) for an early end to Maalik Ek, the movie.

Faith in Baba is a Means to Realize God
God loves His devotees enormously. Devotees rely on Baba with great faith. At times Baba puts us to simple tests to assess how firm our faith in Him is. Sometimes we face small hurdles, while complex and life-threatening troubles make us desperate at other times. On such occasions, the faith in Baba should be firm and we should pray, 'Baba, I cast my burden on You. Do as You please - sink or save me. And, there is nothing that moves me away from Your Feet even in the hour of life or death'.When the doctors fail to cure a disease of our kin who are in the throes of death, we hold Baba's Feet and pray to Him with firm faith as He alone is our Saviour, Baba heals the sick miraculously. Despite failing to diagnose the disease properly, the medicines given at random by the doctor will work miracles. The patient gets up from the death bed and the good news reaches home. Though worried with life-threatening thoughts till the other minute, Baba makes us safely cross the ocean of troubles and reach the haven of happiness. Can Baba, the Ocean of Kindness, abandon His devotees in trouble? Are we not sending our children to various competitions and tests so that they might win prizes? Likewise, now and then, Baba tests us and what delights Baba is the way His devotees conquer hurdles and emerge victorious.
