Sandhyashram @ Bhuleshwar

Got to view the Ashram of HH Yogiraaj Gopal Maharaaj Kasbekar @ Bhuleshwar as it has been given in His Highness's Biography " Yogiraaj Vijay".



The main entrance of the Dhyanashram:





From a distance : (Its on the right side, top floor) Entrance is also from the right.

The left portion on the top has a board of "Nilkantheshwar" on it. The priest said that an old sage resides on this floor and we could not meet him there.

and while leaving got to Pune via Saswad while having a Darshan of HH Sopandev Mahraaj's samadhi (youngest of the Saints - brothers : Nivruttinaath (samadhi @ Tryambakeshar, Nashik) , Jnanadev (samadhi @ Alandi, Pune) and more younger was Muktabai(samadhi @ Paithan, Aurangabaad)



the main attractions in the Bhuleshwar temple are :

The excellent art work on a Single stone, and the details which have been carved throughout the temple.
The incidents of Ramayana and Mahabharata catch your eyes once your are in.The special and undisrupted ones are :
from Mahabharata :
-> The Bhishma incident ( He is on the bed of Arrows)
-> The Draupadi Swayamvar (Arjuna has to target the Fish's eye by looking @ its mirror image in the pool of water)
-> Krishnarjun Rath (Only Krishna & Hanuman with the flag is Visible; Arjun has been broken)
-> Five caves are depicted above the entrance as a symbol of Five Pandava's
-> The Bheema & Airavat incident : Kunti needs an Elephant for a Puja and Pandavas see no one there, Bheem goes to Indra and takes the Airavata by Fighting them.

From Ramayana :

-> The Rama & Bharata meet-> Mother Seeta taken away by desire of having the Golden Deer.-> The Rama & Bharata meet
-> a Vishnu temple inside (wihout any idols, seem to be broken by adamant rules before).

&&&

A Cave nearby which would have been a place of meditation for followers.
