Once a year, in October and / or November, the Paduka’s – sandals of Babaji – travel from the ashram Sada Shiva Dham through the Netherlands and Belgium. We consider the Padukas as a spiritual and physical representation of Babaji. This is what we call the Paduka Puja tour. On the photo the suitcase is ready to start the tour with the silver-plated wood Padukas.
During this tour, the Padukas are ceremonially received at various locations. The padukas are washed, perfume, sweets / fruit, a donation is given, and an Aarti is sung. This is called the Paduka Puja. After the ceremony (20 to 30 minutes) a program follows depending on the wishes on the spot, for example Bhajans and kirtan singing, Satsang (sharing of experiences) in honor of Babaji, meditation, a joint meal etc.
Friends, acquaintances and other interested people are invited to attend.
This tour takes place annually since 2008. If you would like to receive Baba’s Padukas, as a representation of Babaji himself, at your address or center, please contact Sada Shiva Dham.
Dates, times and places, where the Padukas travel, will be announced via this website in due time.
