Guruji also called it his Shivpuri and rightly so; a huge black coloured granite Shivlinga sits atop a white coloured beautiful marble structure of the Mandir. The emerald green lawns, the blooming fragrant flowers, the gurgling waterfall and the cascading fountain all provide it with a unique divine beauty. The moment one steps inside the Mandir one can feel the peace and the power of the place. This heavenly haven provides succour to tired souls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> At the entrance of the Mandir there is an old stone Ganesh statue. It has a marble canopy. Further down, is the Samadhi Hall, inside which is the gleaming white marble Samadhi of Guruji. The lighted \u2018Akhand Jyot\u2019 is kept here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Moving a little further down the pathway, the Main Hall of the Mandir is visible.

His fragrant Presence can still be felt. The holy mantra, \u2018Aum Namah Shivay\u2019 can be seen written inside the Hall. On one side is a life-size brass statue of Shiva, the yogi. At his feet lies the \u2018Nandi\u2019. Sewadars polishing and cleaning the brass statue have seen \u2018Kesar\u2019 colour coming out of it on the occasion of \u2018Holi\u2019 festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Guruji Maharaj had prophesied that there would be a mind- boggling rise of number of devotees thronging to Bade Mandir to pay their respects and seek his blessings. He had said,\u201cYou don\u2019t realize how easy it is for all of you to get my darshan here, one day the queue of devotees will extend up to the main road and you will have to wait for hours to get my darshan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>How true it has turned out to be! When Guruji was with us in his human form, it was all about him. Wherever Guruji was,we went to seek his darshan. But after his Mahasamadhi, Bade Mandir became like a portal through which we could connect to him at a very personal level. Without any one suggesting, the devotees started visiting Bade Mandir, as if they had been subliminally directed there by Guruji himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/gkamanagement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bade-mandir2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;bade-mandir2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||36px|||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;30px||36px|||&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;30px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;23px||4px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;528,530,532,534,536&#8243; orientation=&#8221;portrait&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||9px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; child_mix_blend_mode=&#8221;color-dodge&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;536,539,541&#8243; orientation=&#8221;portrait&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-15px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; child_mix_blend_mode=&#8221;color-dodge&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Bade Mandir\u201cWhoever comes here,\u201d He said, \u201cWould Receive My Blessings.\u201dBade Mandir, as it is fondly called, has the power of many pious places put together as stated by Guruji.
