I had a deep desire to visit Gondavale for a very long time. I truly wished, from the bottom of my heart, to visit Gondavale and receive the blessed darshan of Gondavalekar Maharaj with devotion. That's why I finally decided to make the trip.
I left early in the morning from satara, as I didn't want to be late. If I had delayed, I would've misses the opportunity for proper darshan. So I started my journey early. The roads weren't very crowded,, and there wasn't much traffic either.

Along the way, I saw lush green farms and small villages. Somewhere on the road, I noticed a small tea stall. I stopped there, sat down, and had a nice cup of tea. After that short break, I continued my journey and reached Gondavale in about 2 to 2.5 hours.
As soon as I entered the village, I felt something special - a beautiful spiritual vibe. The first I saw was the Samadhi of Gondavalekar Maharaj. I had the darshan, and the atmosphere there was filled with devotion and peace. Chanting of "Ram Nam" was going on, and everything felt deeply spiritual.
I sat there for a while, quietly listening to the chanting. The whole experience was soulful - something I hadn't felt in a long time. It truly touched me.
Later, I had the Prasad meal, which is freshly prepared and served to all the devotees. It was a simple and pure meal - rice, vegetables curry, chapati, and buttermilk - just like homemade food. It was very satisfying.
After the Prasad, I spent some more time exploring the temple premises. I also visited the temple library, and from there, I bought a book. My darshan experience was truly fulfilling, and even while returning home, I felt an inner peace and calm that stayed with me.
