Commencement of Shrikshetra Akkalkot Rasayatra

Soon after  the Shirdi Rasayatra was concluded, wherein everyone experienced the glory of the fruitful life of Sainath, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha, in 1997, made an announcement of the Shrikshetra Akkalkot Rasayatra to the extreme delight of every Shraddhavan. The  happiness of all the Shraddhavans knew no  bounds when they realised  that another Rasayatra to Akkalkot was on the horizon.
