- POLITICIAN ENTERS SHIRDI TEMPLE WITH FOOTWEAR ON 02nd Jan`2012 On 01st Jan`2012, around 4 lakh devotees reached Shirdi

& so did quite a few politicians, all with the same motive - To start off 2012 with the Blessings of Sai Baba !

However, one politician, Mr.Narendra Verma & family/friends, who also happened to visit Shirdi for Sai Baba's Darshan, entered Baba's Samadhi Shrine with their footwear on. Seeing which, when the other devotees raised objection, Mr.Verma & others quickly removed their footwear in the corner of an adjoining room. After Darshan, when Mr.Narendra Verma came out of the Temple, he apologized to all saying that due to the commotion caused by the huge rush of devotees, in a hurry they forgot to remove their footwear before entering the Shrine. But, while entering the Samadhi Shrine directly through the VIP Entrance, is there ever such a 'Rush'. And hadn't Shirdi Sansthan stop all VIP Darshan till 02nd Jan`2012, owing to the huge rushes this festive season?

For which one can only imagine how the lakhs of other devotees remain careful, while queuing up midst huge rushes, for hours waiting for their turn of Baba's Darshan.
