What a long lasting impact is etched on the minds of people by saints who lived life of supreme love to the almighty?
The saints set an exemplary example by living the life of unflinching FAITH and noble values in the din of day to day hassles. Even the most ordinary person now knew how to live to evolve into the realm of peace, love and wisdom. This God centered life is remarkable characteristic of the people of India.
Ashadi Ekadashi is a 'particular' day based on the calendar that follows the lunar months. This day is known to all the people and does not depend upon prior announcement. Even a common man, the farmer of India, or the one who observes moon to keep up with the calendar is aware when Ashadi Ekadashi is to come.
All people from different parts of Maharashtra with devotion to the Lord Vithal as the common denominator march along several kilometers on foot to the temple at Pandharpur. Pandharpur is what Guruvayoor is to Kerala. On the way the travelers sing and dance with rhythmic beauty and unique style. Food and temporary shelter is made available by local people belonging to the land through which the devotees travel.
The deep devotion does not fail to bring tears in ones eyes as one sees through the heart of the saints who guided the masses with simple methods to reach the supreme state of ecstasy. The abhangs, devotional songs, rendered by the saints with mother's love are still cherished by people of India, where ever they be in the world.
The notable saints who kept the torch of this devotion aflame in the hearts of people are
Saint Namdev, Saint Nivruthinath, Saint Dnyaneshwar, Saint Sopan, Saint Muktabai SaintTukaram, Saint Eknath besides many others who are less remembered.
आषाढी एकादशी ही संतांनी सुरु केलेली परम्परा
आजतागायत पाळली जाते
चातूर्मास आरंभ होतो
पंढरपुर यात्रा सुरवात होते
पांडुरंग भक्तांची रांग पंढरीच्या भगवंताला भेटावयास नदी सारखी लांब पर्यंत दीसते
संतांची ही महीमा थोर आहे
शेकडो वर्षा नंतर सुद्धा चालू असल्येली भक्तीची पद्धत मैनेजमेंट शीकणार्या आधुनीक वीद्यार्थ्याँ साठी बोध प्रद आहे
Mangement Organistion, Business administration MBA students can learn a totally different method of motivating people - the wonders of inspiration for a lofty goal, which has hitherto been lost in the killer instinct and cut throat competion techniques that drain away vital energy as people strive to meet dead lines.
